Default Just Bought A 03' Sc430 **UPDATE**

Here is the 1st pic of the beauty.... I love her. Honestly I was having doubts about buying the car sight unseen but this this is in immaculate shape and I love it!!







Hey guys,

Literally the auction just ended, Its a 2003 SC430 White on Ecru it has 14692 on the clock and both car fax and Auto-check came back clean so that’s at least some comfort. The only problem is that the car is in Colorado and I’m here in LA, So I have to have it shipped or I have to fly out there this week and drive it back. Here is a link to the auction guys, take a look at her see what you think. Oh yea I paid $32,275 for it

Do you guys think it’s a good deal?


Item # 190063112941

Hope its not snowing out there or you're going to have a heck of a time driving it back... I think the price is ok, would be a better deal if the car was certified. Do you know what the dealer was asking on the lot? I'm thinking being the end of the year and not many people in Colorado shopping for a convertible that some dealing could have been done.

In any case, congratulations! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us do.

Hey thanks guys,

Now I just have to sell my old SC ,

I wasn’t expecting to spend this much on it, well I had 1st put in a bid of 30K it stayed below that for a few days then someone out bid me, so I thought what the hell I'll put 32,500 and up until the last 2 minutes it was sitting at 31K, then this guy came up and started bidding and took it up to 32,275.

Over all I am very happy with the purchase and cant wait to drive it

Very clean SC430 you won there. Congrats, you must be excited. Get ready for a while new experience.
So will you be looking at a trucking company or going out to drive it back?

I’m debating weather or not to go out there and get it myself, since I'm buying it from the Toyota dealer out there, the guy said that he will give me a quote on how much it will be to ship it out here. He said he could get me a very good deal, So if it comes out to around 400 Ill probably have it shipped. We only paid 700 to have my sister’s car shipped from LA to Ohio, so I think that 400 should be a fair price to go from CO to LA. What do you guys think?

Haha you guys should see our cars in my family, My SC and LS are white, my dads LX470 is white, and my moms benz is white, the only non white car we have is our 80 series land cruiser which is green

$400.00 would be worth it to avoid the hassle though the drive would be nice. When I sold my 968cab not too long ago it cost around $900 from Riverside,CA to Ohio on an 18 wheeler. Made it with no issues.
