I am beyond heartbroken.. Mine got totaled, and insurance companies are ****ing me!!

I am looking into getting mine fixed, and also at the possibility of replacing it.. 2009-2010 is very hard to find, and lots of money. 2006-2008 is a bit easier to find, and still much more $$ than 05 and under.. I am looking at 06 models right now (like mine with the 6 speed), but trying to not let my broken heart cloud my judgement..

I see 2010 has a different stereo/nav unit with USB interface? I do have a head unit to replace the Levinson stock head unit, with a DVD player, usb, and all the works.. So I guess Im fine with an 06 and up. If I get anything under 06, then 05 is my limit..

I am going for clean title this time, and preferably under 100k miles, unless I find a great deal on one.. The blue one I like, and they are hard to find in blue - that one I expect to talk the dealer down in price, because $15.5k is too much for 125k miles. As long as the car is in great shape, I can buy a Soarer engine with 35-55k miles imported from Japan for $1600 right off CL, if I ever need it in the future. I had plans to get an engine on the side to play with anyway, and maybe enlarge it to a 5.0.

The silver one looks identical to mine, but has black leather interior. The blue one has an identical interior to mine, and I prefer that. If I were to get one soon, Ill pull the interior out of my current one to make the "perfect SC" in my eyes. I am still waiting to figure out what to do, and if I part my current one out, I will definitely follow through and hook y'all up! I do have plenty of PM's to respond to, but I have not been able to bring myself to even dealing with that car yet. I put a car cover on it, and its been sitting since the 19th when I took it home from the storage yard.. The car was smacked on the 15th and was not even my fault at all.. These sure are damn sturdy cars, but they get cosmetically ****ed up easily in an accident! Next time, I am going to have GAP coverage, so there is no question that I wont get ****ed like this ever again! A truly PAINFUL lesson, that I did not need at this time in my life!!

As pathetic as it may sound, my SC was currently the only nice thing in my life, other than my awesome job I have that most people would kill to have!

Great color combo! The G-Spiders are my favorite wheels. Here's my '06 with 54k out for a late February winter cruise.

What does the F-sport SC430 come with? Better seats or something?

The F-Sport SC430 came equipped exclusively with all the mystery and intrigue of a model that was never actually offered by the manufacturer.

Now a question for you SC430fun. What is this awesome occupation you have that others envy?

Not all others envy, just most people in the IT field. I work at a very prestigious hospital, and support the entire hospital and also their labs that handle DNA, blood, Cancer and AIDs research and much more. One of the labs (Saban Research Center) is known around the world actually and attracts some of the most advanced Scientists/Researchers from many other states/countries. The job I am in requires a Bachelors degree, but most of the people they go for have Masters degrees, and I hold neither - over 21 years of real-world experience instead. Most of the people I deal with in IT, always ask me if they can get in where I am at, and would love to pull in the same kind of wages

I, too, am employed in the field of health care. As it has been said, "if you love your job, you'll never work a day of your life."

And now, another pic of my SC from my drive yesterday in beautiful southern Illinois.

Too much puddle lights? They turn off in 10 seconds. Got the local Lexus dealer Service Advisor asking me if he can show the lights to the rest of the guys, well of course you can!

Did the 2009 come with the signals on the side mirror? Or is this aftermarket?

The side signal markers on the side mirror would be a good DIY upgrade.
