I have been looking for the SC for close to 6 months and I guess if you are patient, you will find the nice ones

The car was purchased at a Lexus dealer but I had to travel 5 hours to get the car. The dealer's GM was nice enough to had my Benz shipped back to my home while I drove my SC back home.

This SC had clean CAR FAX, Brand new tires, Brakes and it checked out . The only issue I had was the battery went dead after I took delivery and the Lexus Dealer was nice enough to offer a new battery to me after it was troubleshoot when it didn't start caused by an old battery. The Lexus dealer in my area charged a crazy $500 to trouble shoot the car and the Dealer paid for it !!

I was initially reluctant to purchase the Egyptian Pearl but after seeing the car, I was in love. I had a Starlight Silver 06 prior to buying an 04 but I sold the 06 as it had 77K miles on it . I wanted a lower mileage SC and after driving the 04 VS the 06 , I actually did not feel the difference was so great after all . After owing both an 06 and now an 04, I actually like the front lights of an 04 just a bit more :0 . The 06 tail lights are probably a bit nicer though as they are LED's . The 02-05 front and tail has a more unique look in my opinion ..

Anyway, after I sold my 06, it did take a while but it was defintely well worth the wait to get a clean low mileage SC . I guess I was very picky as I did not want an SC with any panels repainted

No regrets !

See everyone soon
