Can there BE any more white sc430's there?!? Everytime I see pics of a white w/saddle interior, I kinda regret not getting this color combo. Then again, it's the gf's car & the black interior is what she wanted. Anyway, looks like you guys/gals had fun. I can only imagine all the stares & gawking when seeing 7 sc430's in a row.

I'd like to join everybody at the meet in May but I'm not too comfy driving 20+ hrs to Cali' w/20" wheels on unfamiliar roads not knowing where the big craters, cracks & dips are.

LOL Henry! I'm sure I'll miss it but I know the wheels won't miss the 3k mile journey to & from.

Sheesh 11 in a row, ehh? It must have been a sight!

Yeah, it has the black interior w/the dark brown wood. I can take a pic if you guys wanna see. I remember reading a post by Henry awhile back saying it was hard to get on the West coast. Is it still hard to get or no one wants it?

Your sc is white on black? lol
I have only seen it once on Ebay before and it was a Texas car, too.
so it is probably rarer than the Neiman Marcus edition.

Please don't photoshop it to black to surprise us,ok? haha

LOL Rich! I promise no photoshopping.

Mark, I didn't realize the previous gen. sc white/black combo was rare as well.

Henry, I just realized I didn't answer your question...we narrowed our choices down to two interior colors...white/saddle & white/black. Each was at a different dealership but owned by the same person/company. The dealership we were at had the white/black. Before we saw this combo I reminded my gf we weren't in a rush to get the car today so if she was undecided (about which interior color) then think about it over a good night's sleep. However, once we saw the white/black sc430 in person, she pretty much made up her mind w/in a few minutes...Damn it! So yeah Henry, it was on the lot, not custom ordered.

FWIW, the sales woman told us this particular white/black sc430 just arrived at the dealership 1-2 days prior. Thx for the info guys! Whenever it's time to sell, I'll remind potential buyers this color's hard to get & rare!

Just found another white / black on Ebay.
Most 02 SCs are now well under $30,000. We should see more more new owners on this forum in the near future.

damn.... damn.... I did not even bother to ask since everyone told me there is no such combo in US market. This is a 2005 even!

One interesting thing tho. My 97' White/Black combo came with black lining and carpet for the trunk also. This one has tan color in the trunk. Is yours the same way, Jimmy????

Really? I would prefer the black lining & carpet for the trunk as well. Yeah, it has the tan color for the trunk lining & trunk mats as well. I'll take a pic tomorrow. I was busy today.
