The 03 w/27k mikes is worth about $1,500 more than your 04 w/53k miles. Why not negotiate a trade. There may be sales tax savings that you would loose if you sold and bought rather than traded. Then there's the issue of trying to sell it.

If you like the blue and it's in decent shape why not go for it.

I negotiated for a Navy Blue at a Lexus dealership that was certified When I get there the paint was in horrible shape so I walked away. Just be careful.

Yep, 1 yr older but 50% less in miles AND I already have someone who want to buy my Car.

My SC is mint and I agree the key is to see how the car look when I get to the dealership. I saw the pics from the sales guy and the seats are super clean

The exterior from the pics look very good. There is a bit of curb rash on 2 of the rims though

Put a set of Toumaline Wheels on it. The dark blue with Toumaline wheels makes it look rich.

If it's the one at the Porsche dealer, it has good history in Carfax. Definitely one to look at and hopefully the paint hasn't been abused.

Good Luck. I'm excited for you.

Good color choice! I'm fond of it myself.

Should be plenty of fun for many years to come. Good luck and enjoy!

I love it. 2 beautiful SC430s parked in front of a Porsche dealership.

Best of luck Jonas. It's a very nice looking car.

Beautiful. Lexus navy blue's are (and from experience) one of the hardest colors to maintain, though they are very rewarding to look when kept well
