Hi BGw70

just got the car back from Lexus

2 sensors = $550 ! I actual got a flat
and I thought the sensor was bad so they
do help but they are crazy expensive

Here is an option next time, I purchased a replacement from Rockauto for $75 shipped, my local Discount Tire Installed it at no cost, then I programmed it with techstream.
Look at it like this, you could have replaced all four at a cost of $250, then had Lexus reprogram them for about $150...I am guessing on the price.
heck if I lived by you, I would have programmed them for you at a cost of one good glass of Cali vino! ;-)

again, Congratulations and Cheers!!!
i really like that color combo, my favorite!

BTW, are those wheels chrome? Looks good!

Yep the wheels are chrome

The " Twisties " just arrived ! I had the exact blue like yours BGW70
I thought I was ready to sell my SC but after I sold it,
I realized there really isn't anything out there I would
Want . When looking at the SC, I notice they get snapped
Up fast if the car is in good condition and low mileage.

I almost bought a 07 PB White with red interior but the
fender was repainted and just got lucky and found an 02
With 45K in Crystal white with ECU interior ��

they ( SC) pull me back in " LOL

all kidding aside, I really like the SC

Hi Mandyfig

I had an 03 Indigo ink blue I recently sold and as soon as I sold it, I
realized I made a mistake . I started looking again for a White one
and after looking at two others, I bought the WGC.

I am pretty happy now and I am thinking I might tint the windows
i am just a bit worry to have the roof sit up for a few hours while it
Is getting tinted .

Here are some more pics I took yesterday

Hi Ruger

I paid high retail and probably paid $1500 more but I was very particular
and wanted a White that has never had paint work.

This SC fit the bill. I had the Lexus dealer check everything
out and it was solid ! The White SC that are in clean shape
is getting very hard to come by. The clean low mileage SC
that has never been resprayed with paint work looks like
are sold within days.

I actually bought my SC from a Ferrari / Masaerati dealer.
The sales manager said if I didn't want the car , there is
two other buyers that want the car

I kind of figure you to be a little crazy, but I like crazy. When I lost my Supra I wanted to get another (and they are really hard to find) but my neighbor convinced me that with all the cars out there, I had driven the Supra so I should try something different. I'm pretty happy with my green '05 SC, just don't know what I will do when it dies.
