Thanks
...hey Fred I answered your pm,sorry it was soo late...but as far as the spark plugs,I've changed them twice,plan to do them about every 2yrs(24mths) regardless of mileage...just my own interval

Unless your are using copper plugs. Otherwise, it is a big waste to change platinum plugs at that interval.

1. In what year did you buy your SC430? - 2010 -

2. What year is your SC430? - 2009 -

3. Roughly how many miles did the SC430 have when you bought it? - 9,500 -

4. Do you feel you got a good deal (did the car break down after purchase, incur high repair costs, etc)? - The car broker took care of everything so I'm happy with the deal. Most important thing is I still enjoy this car sine the first day I drove it. Especially when it's top down weather.

5. Roughly how much did you pay for your SC430? - $51,000ish - plus tax

I think i over paid about 3K, mostly because i thought it would not depreciate 7K in two years, but i am in for the long haul, i expect to get about 5 more years out of her, so far trouble free.

5. Roughly how much did you pay for your SC:
24K
