Default Have to let go sometimes...

well we have decided that its time to part ways with our 02 sc430. I know a lot of you are going to ask me why cause I created a couple of DIY here for everyone. We had plans on doing a 06+ facelift and doing some major mods but we are going to sell both of our cars. We currently have 3 cars for the 2 of us. A 2000 Honda CRV, 2006 Lexus GS430, and a 2002 SC430. We seem to drive the CRV around everywhere and both cars sit. We decided theres no reason to have something that sits so we are going to sell both and buy another we both come to agreement with and just have two cars.

sad to see it go but have to. for those interested i did post it in the classifieds to dont hesistate to reach out to me.

Though I have only been on the SC forum a short while, I have read your DIY's and contributions to the forum. Best of luck on selling your cars. Are you staying in the Lexus family?

Sorry to see you go. Maybe you will just pick up a newer SC430?

Hi Vip,

Nothing feel bad about; it will happen to all of us.

And if my hip keeps going south, I'll be there soon.

No one can compete with IcEnPinKi now.

You should have less headache selling your sc430 since you haven't put too many aftermarket items on it yet.

Wow VIP i thought you was really going in on the SC. Sucks to hear you are selling your ride. Best of luck on your new ride homie.

lol talwang. Its not really a competition its just something i started and feel i need to finish. This probably will be my last year modding the SC as well. Sucks to have to give up something you love. I have 2 little kids so hanging up the jersey for me is inevitable. Strange as it seems I've been drooling over the new Sienna. I can see so much potential being modded. But my wife will probably kill me lol

VIPNISS!

Somebody beat me to it, would have loved to have purchased it. If something happens and the sale does not go through, I will take it.
