Gang,

As soon as I sold my 02 SC I think I had seller remorse. The good news is I scored a 1 owner 07 clean Pebble Beach with only 35K SC430!

Here are some pics of my old “ White Gold Crystal “SC just before I gave her
to the new owner after the Lexus inspection!

Some pics of my new 07 PB Starfire SC430. The interior of my 07 PB is to die for
with Pimento Red! And the GSpider rims!

Dang, you're lucky man. Congratulations.

I'd call that an UPGRADE!

LOL!

Welcome back.

Give us your thoughts about the difference between the two cars while it's fresh in your mind.

There's a lot of chatter about the difference, but few with a reference as frequent as yours.

Love the wheels. At some point I'll get a set for my '07.

Thanks Guys!

As you know, I have owned a few SC’s ( 02 Crystal white i just sold, 06 silver, 04 Blue and a 03 Gold) in my time. Love them all and as soon as I sold my most recent 02 Crystal White SC430, I immediately regretted and wanted another SC430. I looked for another newer SC430 and I found an 07 PB which was on my list!

The 07 PB in my estimation is currently the most sought after SC and my new SC checked all the boxes ( 1 owner,clean Carfax, all maintenance was completed at the Lexus dealer, all panels are original with the paint meter,and vin stickers intact. ) This SC price wise is not for the faint of heart for sure.) Bring the trailer sold prices also confirmed my homework with the 07PB desirability as this year one sold at a record amount ( A 88K recently sold for $32,000 and another one sold for $44,000)

As for why the 07 PB has been so wanted, I know the interior ( Pimento red), the rims and the wood were quite stunning with the starfire pearl. I’ll get more pics to you guys to share with you guys. In the meantime, here are some more Interior shots of my new friend

02-05 were super nice as well but did not have the 6 speed, upgraded HD turned headlights, LED rear tale lights, different suspension, TPMS if needed replacement was typically unfortunately 2-3X more due to the color coded for each specific rim, dashboard change, I think the tire wear issue unfortunately affected the 02-05 more in the early years but were eventually resolved past 05.

02-05 unfortunately had the ABS hydraulic unit going out after 100K which was the big one and caused a few documented scary accidents.

The other difference is mostly cosmetic like refresh front and rear bumpers and rims.

That pimento interior is just incredible. So wonderful. Worth the premium for sure.
