Default just purchased my first SC

I just purchased a 1992 SC400 Pearl White, 80k miles, one owner car. The guy I bought it from has everything (I mean everything) on this car from new. All maintenance records, both keys, original sales documents, window sticker, books and manuals etc. He even has every registration slip from when the car was new. Felt pretty confident after seeing all the records he has kept on the car. I picked it up for $7k. I'd post some pictures but there's nothing to see that anyone hasnt already seen, just a clean completely stock SC400. I'll post some new pics when I get some new shoes for it Anyway just thought I would stop in and say hi. I've been lurking on here for awhile and from all the information i've gathered so far everyone seems very helpful and informative.

Thanks for the warm welcome all. Will get some pics up soon. I'm really impressed with how well these cars perform and feel for being 14 years old now. Thanks again.

That is a great deal! The best I could find out here (Chicago area) was a (Pearl White) 92 SC400 for $8K, but it had 126K mi, no TRAC, no heated seats, and something about it just didn't seem right. I ended up with a (Platinum) 96 SC400 91K mi for $12K. I've seen many for much cheaper, but at least 800 miles away. So to all in CA, KY, AZ, and FL...enjoy..it seems the best deals are out there.
