Default My new Ride 2002 SC 430

Well I flew in to Tampa last night, inspected this SC this morning and closed the deal. It’s a 2002 with 72k miles and immaculate condition. I was owned by a retired couple for the last 10 years and was a garage queen. $16k I think was a good price, only issue I found is the Navigation screen has separation and not really viewable. I’m 300 miles into my 1000 mile drive back to Houston and averaging 23.1 MPG with the top down.

Beautiful color. I wish mine was red but I also love the classy look of black especially with the tinning all around.

Ok, just curious about the quote highlighted in red above. I'd say that's a little weird don't you think?

Not really, it turns out my wife's aunt lived there and know the previous owners, did not find that out until I was down there. I am with ya though I did have some sketchy feelings at first but all the communication and willingness to do what ever I asked, I felt better. I mean don't get me wrong I did line up a few others to go see if this did not work out for some reason.

Ah, you didn't understand my dig, you said "I" was owned by a retired couple not "It" was owned... just an attempt by me at humor.
