If you purchased your SC430 recently, how much did you pay?

2003 with 55k for 13.5k in December from a private seller.
I looked at 4 similar ones from local dealers and this one was in the best condition overall and drove like it had 20k miles! Several, if not all, of the other ones I looked at had some kind of problem with the front end (perhaps under-inflated tires or in need of alignment?) and/or blown out speakers, and/or poor touch-up spots on the body, and a higher asking price (my seller was asking 17k).
Just before buying this one I saw a VERY low-mileage one on eBay (perhaps only 2k miles) which was either a 2008 or 2010. I think it was in NC. I was drooling over it, but didn't feel that bad about it since it was black and that's not one of my favorite colors. But if it were available at the time, I would've seriously considered buying it. I think the asking price was $28k ("or best offer"). Someone out there is VERY happy. Are they on this board?

Slight correction. I mentioned that I paid $15K AU equating to $ 20K US. It should have been approximately $10K US. I was fortunate that it went as a quick sale.
The average asking price for for the 2002 SC is around $20K AU, $15K US, depending on Mileage.

Just bought 2004 SC430 with 27K miles on it. Pearl white exterior with saddle interior. Price was $22,200. I'm an extremely picky buyer, when I buy a car it has to be a creampuff. This is was a florida panhandle car and had never seen snow, near mint condition inside and out. Only downside is the timing belt hasn't been done, miles are very low but it is 12 years old. May get the belt done pretty soon.

I was just at the dealer yesterday for the seat belt recall and he suggested changing the timing belt. Why would/should I do that? Just 18,000 KILOMETERS. It is a 2002, so 14 years old.
