Pickup up our 2006 SC430
#31
Go for the 2006. Depending on what car you have now, I dunno if you want to live without bluetooth for your cellphone. And in any event, the 2006+ cars have the prettier tail lights and 6 speed trans. With proper care, the 3UZFE engine will go well past 100k miles.

So here is my update
I found a 02 with 37K gold original owner for $25K and another 06 silver with 75K for 23K that is clean but the hood and front bumper was repainted due to rock chips etc
So out of the 2, which do you guys think is a better long term investment ? I like them both but the 06 has more miles. Decisions , decisions ?
What do you think?
Cheers

My Silver LS had the fender repainted because I scratched it pulling into the garage. You can't tell at all that it was painted. The front bumper was repainted by the dealer immediately before I bought it. You can't tell.
The 06 has many upgrades, such as 6 speed transmission, LED tail lights, Better headlights, newer wheels and slightly more modern NAVI system.
The 02 is 11 years old and if the timing belt is original it should be changed ($1000). The 06 will need the timing belt at 90,000 miles.
How are the tires on both? Tires will cost about $1000 if needed. If either of them have run flat tires you'll want to ditch them pretty quickly. Best if the 06 has new NON-run flats.
