I have an '06 with 37k miles on it, absolutely mint, and 6 months left on the Lexus extended warranty. I just got an electric car for my commute, so my SC is now sitting in the garage. Would love the group's input on two things:
1) Think this car would do well as a once-a-month garage queen (under 500 miles per year), or could it be a high maintenance/expensive toy?
2) How much is the 6 months of warranty worth if I sell it now vs doing it after the warranty is up? Thinking i might wait and see how much I drive it, but not sure if that's a really bad idea.

Thanks!

if it were me
make it a garage queen and use it when you want to best of both worlds. I love me car.

There are several happy members who have garage queen SC430s. So it should be fine.

Yes

It'll be fine as a garage queen. I doubt you'll get anything out of the warranty. As far as whether or not you should keep it, I'd just ask yourself if it's worth the depreciation and insurance cost for the amount you drive it. If you're only driving it once a month, that could be costing you a few hundred dollars per drive.

Keep it, you will regret getting rid of it! You'll miss it within 24 hours.

There is a cost to keep it as garage queen as some one already mentioned.... but this is better car than any car to qualify for 'Garage Queen!'

Mt 2005 PB has 7238 miles talk about a queen. I turn the insure off in winter and just keep the comprehensive on don't need liability if not driving it. Keep it you will miss it if you sell

I have a 2002 and it's not for sale.
In fact, I just returned from a wonderful road trip from Cincinnati to Nashville to Atlanta to Cincinnati. This is one of the best cars ever.

Thanks for all the input - thinking I'll see how much I drive it over the next month before making a decision. A couple of pics to highlight my dilemma!

She's gorgeous. Keep her.

Seriously, an electric car as your only car? I would keep the SC for when you feel like actually driving!
