Vložit

- This is the first video of many to come where we will be turning $2,000 into $30,000 in just a few short months by buying, fixing up, and selling cars. I will walk through and document all the steps so you can do it too! It can be a great side hustle or way to save lots of money buying a car for yourself!
This is our first flip purchase, a 2002 Lexus SC430 convertible. With a clean title, minimal damage (hopefully) and only 130k miles we are hoping to profit a solid amount after we get this thing all fixed up. Stay tuned for the next few Lexus SC430 videos so you can see the progression, cost breakdown, final reveal, and learn how to completely transform cars yourself! Thanks for watching, please like comment and subscribe☝🏼

I own a 2006 Lexus LC 430 bought it 9 years ago with 109 thousand miles with full Lexus history, now just turned 200.000 miles, we have it serviced yearly, apart from service items, only things that went wrong, electric windows packed up, and the air-conditioning compressor failed, bought one on eBay. Average in our ownership 24 mpg, get a good one and they are a brilliant car, at some point soon must appreciate in value, rare sight on UK roads
Thank you for the comment! Wow that is incredible, I’ve heard these cars are super reliable gems so I’m glad to hear you’ve enjoyed yours! Can’t beat 24mpg for a v8 convertible cruiser!😄🤙🏼
@@Atlanticbeachcustoms
Ein schönes Auto, leider sind die Benzin Preise bei uns sehr hoch. Unsere Regierung will uns in die Steinzeit verbannen.
Ich muss mich mit einem
SLK 280 zufrieden geben.
Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Freude mit diesem wunderschönen Auto.
Grüße vom Bodensee.
Have you had any major issues with yours?
@@mbofalzerThat really is a shame!! Gas is too expensive everywhere!
@@Atlanticbeachcustoms
Ja. ca.1,80 bis 1,95 € pro Liter.
Nur Bier ist teurer.😊😉
These are a fun car, the engine is a gem, they were made for long distance cruising and are a very well built reliable quality car. How would i know, I own a 2002 SC430. In Austalia and you would not get one like yours for less than $12, 000AUD here.
Thanks for the comment!! That’s so awesome, everything I’ve heard has said this engine is amazing! How long have you had yours for?
Wow!
Im gonna subscribe to see the project through! Also nice quality camera and audio equipment!👌🏾💎🔥😎
As someone new to making videos on CZcams that really means a lot, thank you so much for your support!😄😄
Electrical discharge likely down to the stereo replacement. Cracked dash, broken screen and missing parts to the gear shift panel means the centre console has been completely removed.... badly! Power amp is usually under the seat, so check for any bad joints/frays and bad earths. Good luck.
You’re awesome thanks so much!! I will definitely check into that👍🏼🤟🏼
The CZcams populated the 3rd video in this series and I enjoyed it so here I am on the first video. Just subscribed to see what's coming next.
Thank you so much, that made my night! Excited to show you all what’s coming soon🔥
Same!
Boot release is next to fuel cap release / two small buttons knee height under / to side of steering wheel
Upper screen is nav ( that one's def had it ) , lower screen is a replacement music centre / original was Mark Levinson
THANK YOU! Knew it had to be somewhere😄😂
I’ll have to look into getting a replacement NAV screen, any idea what happened to this original one?
@Atlanticbeachcustoms probably white paint worn away on switch over time ...
@Atlanticbeachcustoms Mate , that original screen looks like Wolverine was trying to find his way home In the car , scratched beyond any possible use . Does that new "music centre" below have a navigation app on it ? If it does , than that original sat nav is now redundant . Your choice what you put in there !
Maybe just keep it as a cubby hole for odds and ends. Not too much easily accessible places in the SC for bits and pieces without lifting up the "elbow" storage boxes ...
@@a.c.4732 Hahaha yep that and it looks like it sat outside cooking in the sun for 50 years😂 Yes the other screen does have navigation so I might just get rid of that NAV screen altogether like you mentioned, just worried it might look weird having a big hole or missing screen there. Thanks again, have a great day!😄
One of my favorite cars and brand!
It definitely seems very underrated, I don’t understand all the hate this car gets! Can’t go wrong with Lexus either 💪🏼
daang you found a rare reliable gem!
Crazy right?! And for $2,000! I was expecting it to have lots of issues but it looks like we got lucky (knock on wood). Pretty soon it’ll look the part too!😄
Are they really reliable?
6:53 lmao
Lmao ik that had me dying too😂
Nice to see that JABRA sales are still strong here in 2024.....
😂😂😂
Great video, looking forward to seeing the rest of it!
Thank you so much, that means a lot😁😁
one of my sons had a red one for a couple of years it drove nice
That’s awesome!!! That red is HOT🔥
Looking forward to the rest of this series!
Thank you!!! Stay tuned🙌🏼
Are you going to do a follow up after you repair things ? I own one and I love it wanted way too long to own one but no regrets! Best of luck, it’s a dream to drive!
Hey Carl! Yep I will be doing a full follow up and review after I get the entire car finished and all fixed up! How long have you had yours? The more time I spend with it the more I love it, I can’t wait to get it out on the road!! Thanks so much, have a good night😄
How long have you owned yours for? Have you had any major issues?
I'm Japanese. I used to drive one too. It's now a great car in Japan, and enthusiasts are buying it again. It's an open-top car that cost $80,000 when it was released, and Toyota uses good parts. The engine is a 4300cc DOHC, so it has plenty of horsepower and is still in good condition.
If you repair the exterior, overhaul the engine, and reupholster the seats, you can drive it for another 20 years.
Hey thanks for your comment!! I have seen a few of the cleanest built sc430s all from Japan! That’s crazy it was $80,000 back then!
Yep I just got pretty much all the mechanic problems sorted out along with some preventative maintenance so now I am going to redo the entire interior and exterior! I wouldn’t mind driving this for the next 20 years😄
Just a young kid in a drop-top Lexus hopin' that I don't get arrested
Hahah would you whip this Lexus when it’s all done?🤔
@@Atlanticbeachcustoms yes sir 🙏
@@unkafella3211 Well stay posted, I’ve got a big upcoming announcement for this SC430…🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@Atlanticbeachcustoms will do thanks 🙏
I like it! 🤩
Thanks! 😄😄
First I have heard of that module. Lots of times the VSC light comes on with some of these symptoms. I’m interested in how that used part will work for you. The steering is usually pretty stiff. Any codes stored? My Blue Driver code reader seems to work well for all my Toyota/ Lexus, Acura and even BMW.
Yeah I heard that too with the VSC but I haven’t seen that one yet. I’ll have to hook up my reader again and see if I can view any stored codes. I might need to upgrade my code reader here soon I’ll check that one out thanks! Yes I’ll keep you all posted with how it goes with the new module!
Gem!
I think it is too!!
Check the junk yards in your area you will find parts
Thanks for the tip will do! Have you had luck finding parts at any local junkyards?
Loving this video series!
So glad to hear that! Thanks for your support!!!
Really liking this series. Also fun to see J and J in the videos too!
Thanks man!! I’ll tell them you say hi!
Don’t wrap it! The silver is nice IF you can’t buff the paint to make it pop! Make it a nice daily driver looker… if anything change the center caps! And detail it to show quality luster inside and out!
Great ideas! We are definitely going with a clean and luxurious look. No crazy or flashy colors/design for this one. We are trying to create it like how it’s meant to be- a luxurious, convertible cruiser.
Are you not a fan of these flying saucer wheels?😂🛸
i cant wait to see where your new car will take you 🤙🤙
Thanks! I can’t wait either😄😄😄
Hopefully you have cool neighbors - I think some would be kind of upset at blocking the driveways and rolling over the grass - provided they got a heads up most people would be decent - you do kind of live on a fairly busy road.
Yeah luckily my neighbors are cool, and yeah that road is the worst
@@Atlanticbeachcustoms I have a parking pad on the side of my lawn that I rarely use though some of my neighbor's company takes the liberty of parking there - I've had to put out a no parking sign - if they would ever ask I'd always let them but they never seem to bother so there's that....
@@Scotty_in_Ohio Oh that’s awesome but definitely annoying having people park there! I try to be as courteous as I can with parking and all that. I need a parking pad😂
You need to keep them on trickle chargers unless they're driven very regularly. Ask me how I know.
Oh gosh I haven’t started it for a few days now… thanks for the heads up!😂😂😂
Any other wise words or advice you can share on these beauties?
Lol the guy climbing through the window
Ikr!😂
Thank you ! Great experience. Would you mind sharing link for the auctioner ?
Thank you very much for the comment, glad you enjoyed😄 Yes absolutely, here’s the website I used to buy the car:
AutoBidMaster.com
Thanks again ! Trying to find one !
@@nanofree01 No problem!!! Best of luck with your search, let me know how it goes😄🤙🏼
Were you able to find one?
kool
Thank you Robert!🤙🏼🤙🏼
Fun video!
Glad you liked it Tim!
I have both qx70 and sc430❤ them both
@@vonstervon4407 No way seriously?! You’ve got some good taste😉😉
@@vonstervon4407 how long have you had both of them for?
@Atlanticbeachcustoms I've have the fx50 over 3 years now and the sc430 a little over 6mo. Sc430 is slammed and the fx50 is built for speed.
@@vonstervon4407 Niceee what kind of suspension are you running on the sc? I’ve been wanting to do some power mods to the QX but there’s like nothing for them🙁
@Atlanticbeachcustoms megan racing coilovers, 3rd cat delete no muffler super loud. The fx50 has the full aero, hks replica exhaust and tune.
Can you you deliver to Lagos Nigeria?
Like sell it to you and ship it there?
Where did you get it?
Copart
How can I get one as well please
@@PetersTaiwo Check Copart and AutoBidMaster!
Post if you do get one too! I'm thinking of one also
❤❤❤

Mean Girls!!
@@SURENITY Yep!!! Hahaha
Same thought haha
What's the weird music while you speaking??
That was an editing error I didn’t notice until after I posted the video, good catch!
@@Atlanticbeachcustoms OK anyway congrats with the chanel and keep it up. Can't wait to see the next video😊👍
@@wildekroko Thank you so much for the support!!! Excited to show you all what this Lexus is going to look like when it’s all finished!😄😄😄
whats with the weird music?
Maybe I like weird music😄
no i mean right in the middle of you speaking specifically 17:31
@@bocatica Oh yeah that was an editing error, I didn’t catch that until after I posted the video😂 Good catch!
Don’t wrap cars period
Been wrapping for almost a decade and it’s great, what do you have against them?
Boomer #paintisdead
Wraps I’ve had done have been great. Removed my last one after 4 years, no problem, no residue.
B schnack
SHANE what’s up my man!
@@Atlanticbeachcustoms love the video, wish you well
@@user-mm8cp4xr1x Thanks Shane, we gotta catch up soon
