Default Searching for a 2002/2003 SC430...

We started to look for a certified preowned 2002 SC430. Once we get the car, first thing I want to do is to change the wheels. Does anyone know what wheels work with the tire sensor? Iforged or lsportline?

I'm just trying to plan ahead...

and I'll deliver too..

...if you love Sirius Satellite radio, you'd love my SC430... installation time was 9 hours ...so it is done right without compromising anything else and NOT voiding factory radio warranty because it was not taken apart since the cassette adapter is being used instead of hard wiring into the radio (and I didn't wan the Mark Levinsten system messed with)

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=Sirius+sc430 is my Sirius photos

A brand new 2003 SC430 for $60K out of the door, is that a good deal?

If your state taxes are pretty steep that sounds like a decent deal, but keep in mind the dealership should be pretty eager to get rid of remaining '03's since the '04's will be coming in any day now.

Tax is %5, and luxury tax is %8 (anything above $35K, I think)

pvo,

I thought lux tax was phased out?!?!?!! Shouldn't have any luxury tax. That's a good price. I even got the dealer to keep the pie plate wheels and give me $1,000 off to apply to my wheels which I shipped to them and they installed for me. Look at gallery for wheel ideas.

Here's the latest: 2 dealers offer me $60K but they only have silver/black. I'm looking for black/black.

Is it true that there isn't any more luxury tax? I didn't know that.

Default Black on Black for PVO

I am also looking for my '02 SC430. I have found a few dealers offering new '03 for $58,500 + tax. Have you checked out cars.com? Here is an '02 I found for you ( lower price & low miles ):

PS: I am looking for Indigio Blue with saddle interior only

golfkwesi,

I thought you had bought a white SC430!??!?! You're getting another one!!?? You asked about wheels forever, and then about detailing a white SC430. Now you're getting a blue one?? Congratulations. I thought I saw a nice indigo/saddle on autotrader the other day. Good Luck.

I thought I had purchased the white SC too ( I even purchased my airline ticket to Atlanta ). I received a referral from CL ( sorry if the referral was from you Doc ) to check out the car and it had two paint/body issues that the dealer "missed". Thus no white SC!

My wife and I have decided that we will hold out for our first choice: '02 Indigio Blue/Saddle. It has not been easy: I have missed two of them in the past week ( by a few hours ).

One day I will post pictures!
