White Gold Crystal is stunning in the sun.

I always loved the Matador Red and sought one out. I love the way the red tail lights integrate with a red body. Generally however, I agree with you, white is right! It is the easiest to care for and usually the most durable of all colors.

19k + tax for a Silver/Black 1 owner, excellent condition 2002 with 70K miles....

Car is perfect, I feel like i paid too much, but I looked at another one with same miles for 16,500 and it had so many blemishes.... that would have bothered my OCD everyday.

Default January 2021 purchase 2004’SC

On the shores of Lake Washington

This was an eBay Motors purchase. 2 prior owners(fleet lease CA and private owner AZ.) Mileage 91K at purchase. Final price $11.5. Had the 90K service done before taking delivery and driving home to Seattle. Total after service was $15.6. The 90K service includes: Timing belt; water pump; new hoses. Included draining and flush all systems refilled with approved fluids. Also many new bushings in suspension.

Car was immaculate- very minor scratches here and there. Egyptian Sand looks like rose gold to me-so named “Rosie”.

Have added a few mods including Michelin Pilot tires on OEM 2006 GS 5 spoke chrome wheels.
Megan Racing Coilovers, axel back racing muffler, resonator delete.

SC430MODS.com: Most mods are DIY, plug and play.

Red LED dash lights, blue tooth adapter phone/music, color Navi screen, throttle controller, LED puddle lights “Lexus”,
SS brake lines, working on vacuum hose replacement, Quantum tuning ECU remap.

Default 2002 SC 430 purchase

Picked up 2002 SC 430 in Hilo Hawaii Last week. 79K miles. Paid $6k. Top is inop, radio inop. Looks like a total repaint but a very nice job.

Have repaired convertible tops on 2006 Saab 9-3 and 2003 Mercedes SL55 AMG, but those are hydraulic operated. This one is all electric and complicated!
I need to get ahold of VVTi Bob.

Nice White Gold Crystal! Welcome to the SC Forum. $6K for a beauty, that's a steal. Good luck and start enjoying your SC. Whereabouts in Hawaii are you (like I know Hawaii)...!

Purchased the SC in Hilo. Live in Volcano Golf Course Subdivision across highway 11 from the active volcano. Can see the lava glow from our front window.

So stoked I can finally post in this thread...
2002 Twilight Amethyst Pearl/Ecru. 74,xxx at pickup. $12,500. Flew to Michigan to pick up and drove to her new home in SoCal. Once I was in the market, I was obsessed with finding one in Twilight Amethyst. So unique and absolutely gorgeous.
