Default 09 pb sc 430

Hi guys

How rare are the PB these days ? The ECU seats with the black
PB interior is pretty darn nice . The 09 also has the side mirror lsmps
and updated PB 09 rims..

Default Better to get a 2010

It took me 3 years, but two years ago, I found a 2010 with only 26k miles on it and paid $39k for it back then. I still see them once in a while with the low miles. The 2010 is a one of a kind compared with 2001-2009. Its worth the wait. Check my signature to see what it comes with. I added Luxlink and had the wheels chromed. GL with your search!

BTW, The Plate means they only made 329 of them for 2010. Takes longer to find the right one, but eventually...It'll be worth it.

Hi Soloman


what a beautiful car you have ! Keep the car in good shape and you will not regret it
I am looking to buy another SC from out of state and I am pushing for closed container
to avoid problems if I end up buying this pebble beach edition . I heard about your out of state purchase

It was a nightmare and it was a closed truck. The lesson I learned is to fly out, buy it, and drive it back. It was a major hassle, but now that I look at it I got the car and color I want. Good thing I had the insurance that covered it all. Very happy with this car. Previous was an 02 SC in white gold for 6 years. Best car ever they ever built!

I had a 2009 Pebble Beach SC430 that I bought in Sep of '14 for $41K. The car had 9,800 miles at the time, and was showroom flawless. I (sadly) decided to trade it in a year later on an ISC 350 (BIG MISTAKE). At the time, it had 17K miles, and the local Lexus dealer gave me $34K in trade. I regretted it almost immediately, and have since purchased a pristine 2006 SC with 18K miles for $25,500. I don't plan to sell that one anytime soon (learned my lesson).

I did enjoy my 2009 PB quite a bit. I like the black wood look--very striking against the Ecru leather. And the Tourmaline wheels were very nice.

I think $34K is a good price for the one you're looking at -- I say GO FOR IT!
