I agree. If this car's in good shape, that's an excellent price. Just be aware of the fact that it can be very expensive to repair significant problems, so be careful about checking out its overall condition. Many Lexus dealers will pull a vehicle's maintenance history for you if you provide them the VIN.

Please post the phone # of the seller so that in the event that your head is in a dark place that most can't reach, I can take advatage of your lack of action and purchase the vehicle myself!!!........Just kiddin!
You should absolutely buy this car NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, not on Groundhog Day,........NOW!!! Even if you don't like it, you can sell it for more than what you're paying for it. It's under-priced by about 4-5k on the street if it's clean. Did I mention you should buy it?
Ummmm........ya, you get the point.

I purchase my 02 sc430 for $29,500 with 50000 miles on it and i was thinking that was cheap..if you are not going to get it. let me know where you live i will get it and sell it for more..thats a really good deal..Well the only thing with a SC430 is that you have to put in super unleaded gas and it a v8.. so if you dont mine putting that in than you should get it right away...

You don't need to have an SC430 to enjoy this forum or any others here on CL. Just chime in when you have any kind of question. ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The future isn't far away, it's already here now.

Ellen - belatedly - I've got 85+K miles on my '02, and I'm still happy with it. How is yours driving?
You may want to ask the guy that you bought it from if it had the rear suspension bushing upgrade done. This helped the ride when going over bumps.
