Default New 2003 SC430 Owner - Tammy

Hello.

My name is Tammy and I just purchased a 2003 SC430 - Indigo Ink Pearl
I am also the owner of a Saturn Sky show car "Tarantula Sky"

I am taking her in tomorrow to get checked.....

Unlike my Sky, I want to keep the SC close to original.... however I do want to change the Summer wheels... I got lucky... the person who traded the car also left a new set of winter tires with the original stock wheels... so, I have 2 sets.

So, I am open to any suggestions and/or information

btw - I live in NJ


Thanks in Advance

Welcome to the forum Tammy. Be sure to check out the stickies at the top of the forum page where you'll find tons of information about the car that you won't find anywhere else.

Since you have two set of tires, you might have to set of TPMS. You can switch them between both of them too.

Tammy,
Where in Jersey? Im in Lyndhurst, by Giants Stadium. There is a very cool car show every Saturday night at the Whiskey Cafe in Lyndhurst (Right by MidEvil Times) and there is always a few hundered cars.
Also, there is an App for your IPhone for Lexus of Englewood.. Its free and they occasionally send me a coupon for an oil change for 35 bucks using OEM Stuff.
Good Luck with your new ride. What do you think of the power difference between the Sky and the SC430?
Lou

Welcome Tamay....I'm sure you will enjoy your car. Lots of great info on this site. Reading some of the reponses on here I never knew there were so many SC's in NJ. I rarely see many on the road....Mine is a 2007 and I'm in Forked River, NJ. Lots of luck !

After Goggling "Tarantula Sky" I don't think you'll have any trouble working out any kinks with the SC430. Looks like you've had plenty of practice!!!!!!! WOW! Welcome to the site!
