Does anyone have a picture of the car cover that comes with the Neiman Marcus edition SC430? I just purchased the SC and i got all the goodies that came with the package but the original car cover. Just was curious what it looks like. This is day one of the car after the first wash and instant installation of the wheels. The stock chromes are butt ugly!

hmm... if my memory serves me correct the 2002 Neiman marcus edition was sold at the launch of the SC430 model - so 100 or so were sold with the special darker grey exterior/red interior (special order through the 2001 Neiman Marcus Catalogue?). The pebble beach edition was a different color combo every year - 2005's was the black/ dark blue over red while 2006 was white over red? I'm sure others will chime in

I have the 2005 sc430 pebble beach. Its metallic black diamond paint with pimento red interior. the NM edition is the same color red they just call it candy cane red. When I first got the car I kind of felt like It really stood out. Boy was I right. Whenever I drive the car it turns heads. Put on the donz genoves 20 inch staggered rims and it really pops. I just wish the weaather was better . I only drive it on sunny days. Its my garage toy not ment to be a daily driver.

Out of curiousity, how much would you realistically pay for this car? Consider its an 02 with 19k miles & garage kept florida car.

I'm thinking mid 20's......25ish is about right (i'm sure I'd get weak in the knees seeing the red)

Indeed 4x4 it is. The GS goes back in 3 weeks but its all back to stock now. This car is going to be more of a long term project. I'm not planning to rush on all the parts. Got to enjoy them one at a time. I'm looking for coilovers if anyone knows if any crackhead deals...
