Default FINALLY.. picking up a sc430 tonight!

so i've been looking for a sc430 for about a year now.. i found one not too long ago.. was suppose to buy mistasc's 430 but as you guys know.. it was hit by a yellow school bus..

so after looking around.. i finally found one.. for a decent price.. under 100k with timing belt with lots of other maintenance with every record done.. black on black.. yay! ..

hopefully nothing strange happens within a couple of hours.. haha

okie.. so here is a picture with both cars i have before selling the other..

If you want a bargain, you need to be very patient.
I know a few members here have been waiting for years to get a good deal on used parts.

I am currently working overseas in Asia, but my company might get an additional 3 year contract soon. Therefore, I might have to part out my sc430 as soon as next Feb if you want to wait. lol

If you're not looking to slam the car you should go with the megan ez. Saves you some money. Can't really slam this car cause theres a chasis underneath making it lower then most cars. It would scrape over everything being slammed... And its not cool lol thats why i went with a 40 series tire to have a higher stance with a tuck of the tire

I was interested in an SC430 when I had my ES350. It was all over once I clicked on this 430 forum.
