Very nice great find. That is the same color as my sons 05 but he has black interior. Enjoy

2010 purchased in Aug 2021 with 48k miles from Carvana for $30k, including warranty to 120k miles. Pearl white; excellent condition. Carvana replaced the power antenna; all else working perfectly.

Great find, and the price sounds reasonable...congrats! Send some pics if you get a chance.

Has the timing belt been done? If not, don't sweat it, but put it on your list of things to do. I have a 2008 with 60K miles and I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on my first TB replacement. According to the manufacturer's time schedule, I should be looking at my 2nd replacement by now.

Time for TB and WP replacement. Assin TB-WP kit from EBay or Amazon is under $200 plus your trusted mechanic labor. Dealer charges $1500.

Bravo on your guts and glory (not changing your TB)! You may have inspired me to extend my 2008's interval a few more years.

TB and WP at 60k? What is the recommended interval? I took my '02 to 140k before being done; now I have a '10 with 58k.

Or 72 months. It is a rubber belt and like tires age is as much a factor as milage. As it is not exposed to UV light it will likely age better than tires but will still become brittle with time. My sc430 belt was replaced before I bought it but when I replaced the belt in my RX300 it had 100k and was 12 years old. Still looked pretty good but cheaper than a new engine.

If you purchased your SC430 in the last year or two, please post:

1. Year & Mileage of your SC430
2. The price you paid

(I would like to get an understanding for what my high-mileage (170K miles) 2002 SC430 may be worth... but I'm sure others are interested too!)

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you!
Purchased a clean Egyptian Sand Pearl used’03 Sc430 with 143910 original miles for $12511. March 3, 2022
