Decision made to move forward on the '05 Pebble Beach
#16
Harold,
Don't think it was...still parked under a steel awning...where we left it..on Sunday afternoon. We will see on Friday. Really hope that it checks out OK with my tech. Drives great, tight and very responsive...was owned up to the 60K service by a gal in her 50's...and she had all of the services done at Lexus. Then there is a 20K mile gap in Lexus service history..which has me concerned, except that the services to 80K are really only oil changes...if this checks out, may be my "last car" like another post here on the site. Love the SC, but the Red/Ecru although very pretty, is also a bit too "gaudy" for me....don't get me wrong, my '02 is now very, very nice...but I am blessed being in a position to only drive during the week ....and weekends when it does not rain! So... a real "collector" SC makes sense for me..even starting to wonder if I would keep the PB 2-tone wheels rather than running my Tourmalines..the PB wheels actually look "OK" with me, and 10 years from now the OEM wheels will probably add to the value...rather than the Tourmalines. I really enjoy restoring rare cars..and the '05 is the only SC with the painted headlight thing, which (IMO) makes it very rare. Bob
