just dont let the milage fool you! Aot of times sc430's with high milage dont mean they are going to have alot of problems and low milage sc430's dont mean they are going to be problem free.

Don't settle...get what you really want! I'm OC as hell and even the minor imperfections on my SC bug me...and no one else even sees them!

I bet the top works and they took out the fuse since the top wouldnt probably line back up with the front pillars...sneaky sneaky

Can you go up to about $15k? I am pretty confident I can help you find a 80k-100k mile, well maintained, good to great condition SC with maint records checked out, no wrecks, etc. Let me know what your color preferences are and I'd be glad to look for you.

I love spending other people's money! If you would like some help I'd be glad to post some of my pics in your area or if you are willing to go national, I can look anywhere for you. Interior and exterior choices? max willing to pay? max mileage you will go?

tuterz, you can't go wrong the white and saddle. Looks good even dirty.

I'd refer back to what VVTiBob posted about the odometer possibly not functioning. Although this is a completely superficial judgment the car appears to have considerable wear on the driver's seat for 31K miles.

scdroptop will set you in a nice SC. Take your time. Add a little more to the budget. He did help me when I bought my SC.
