The best: inside out
The Luxlink allows the roof to go up and down by 2 pushes of the dash button (rather than holding it down the whole time) as well as allowing the top to function with the OEM remote. This Luxlink has the rear window mod allowing the rear windows to go up and down using the front window switch. Check the rear windows are down-that's not possible on your average SC 430.
You will also notice the motor is clean enough to eat off of and the trunk contains all manuals, first aid kit, and the flat tire repair kit (never used)
Notice with the roof up the roof doesn't look much like a convertible.

Even a Warranty
30 Dollars in the first 30 days will transfer the warranty to you. Zero deductable with platinum coverage coverage and they find it easier to tell you what it DOESN'T cover rather than what it does.
The window sticker is for this car. Even the badges are kept clean with a toothbrush! The additional wood grain is unique-it was very hard to find.
Brand new mats NEVER been used are included and I won't use them before you buy it.

Flagship Pioneer System
Internet radio, SD card music, AHA Radio, Pandora Radio, Bluetooth Phone, DVD, Backup Camera---Do I need to go on?
That tire looks just like the other 3!
The metal at the top of the radio does not show when you're sitting in the seats.
Sorry for the blurriness. The photographer-Not the system.

The Good, The Bad, and the good again...
The only reason I am selling this SC is because I already bought my 2010 SC 430, 6 weeks ago. I bought it sight unseen and had it transported (closed) from Texas to LA. It is now in the body shop getting more than $10k damage that was on it when it arrived at my home. My ins company is handlling 80% of those charges, but yes I feel I got screwed.
I guarantee if you come look at this car you will want to take it home with you. I am actually going to advertise my wifes Camry Hybrid and my SC at the same time. Whichever sells first will be the decision maker for which we will keep. Fortunately, she doesn't really care. "Its just a car"-Yeah, right?
All 4 wheels look brand new-one started to pit and I had it rechromed. The Interior is comparable to new. This car is frequently mistaken for new. I am very proud of the condition during my nearly 6 years of ownership. I've taken every step to keep it that way. This SC has averaged 3,500 miles per year in its lifetime and has been faithfully maintained.

Thanks, Prasha. I'm getting my 2010 back at the end of the month. The plan is to put her hybrid on the autotrader and whichever car sells first, she'll drive the other. It doesn't matter to her, so I'd rather keep both SCs, but we'll see how things go.

I have a 02 with less miles than yours but my Drivers seat isn't in the shape of yours. Is your interior dyed? If not then how did you keep it in such good shape? BTW there is no way this car is going to last at $25K. Good work!

I had the front seats and console professionally re-dyed by Fibrenew. Great job and it's dye versus a paint coating. I highly recommend it. It is costly ($400), but I think it's the best way to go. I spared no expense in keeping my SC in "new" condition.

Price drop-priced to sell
Ready to buy just in time for summer. Where else can get you get the quality build of an 02, with the great upgrades of pioneer and luxlink, and try to find another one with over a year of warranty and you can drive more than 55k miles with a zero deductable warranty over the next 14 months.
