Buying 2003 SC 430 - Good Deal?
#46
CU membership
Got to be a member. The company is virginia Surety by CUNA. The lady that did the paper work at the credit union told me the SC must really be reliable. When I asked her why, she said her new toyota had a higher premium than my 02 SC! I believe this policy is offered only by credit unions. The rule at my CU is that the member, their spouse, and kids can all be members. I have two sons who have accounts there and one of them financed his infiniti with them-all done because of my membership. Always check your CU for financial dealings!

My usual used car buying habit is to buy a car that already has an extended warranty from a private party, last two cars were SL500 and Vette Convertible bot with zero deductible super warranties (usually a private seller can't get a premium on the car for the warranty, same category as fancy aftermarket wheels etc.), but I would take your chances with a Lexus, the reliability is already "priced in" anyway if I can get nerdy and economic on with the discussion.
