Default I am now a proud SC owner *pics*

Hi Everyone,

I've been a long time browser/lurker while looking for the SC i wanted, but I finally found her

1997 SC400, 63k miles.






Unfortunately, it was slightly damaged during shipping The rear bumper is scraped and peeled to hell; thankfully, I'm getting a new bumper/paint job out of the deal.

Just wanted to say hi.

AutoLog

They came recommended by more than one co worker; one of them had his CL65 transported through them.

i went with them because they beat all prices, and even transported the car via train.

Unfortunately....this also happened:



I have mixed feelings about them right now, because I still have not heard from their insurance company; granted, it's only been 1 business day since it arrived, but still....

if they even TRY to deny it, I'm going to raise hell.

The rear damage doesnt look bad at all, either way you definitely found nice one.
