put a bullet in both his feet and tell him you'll start picking other limbs until he takes you to the goods. If he doesn't, no hospital..... and you get to shoot until he is out of limbs.....

It really sucks when car gets stolen. I've had two of my cars stolen and I know how that feels.. Wish you the best out of this.

Sorry to hear that bro I hope they find your car, if he is a pro that car is probaly boxed in pieces. I love that color too, it's the same as my 92 300, silver spruce. GL on finding a clean 99-00 SC 4. It took me 3 years to find a near mint 98 sc 4 plat on black with all options, you will luv the SC even more if you do find one.

$loJam, hold that thought! If my car isn't recovered, I will have a surplus set of oem mats in silver spruce, still in the bag. Does your 92 have the spruce interior?

And believe it or not, I have already found a replacement - haven't seen it yet, but it's a private party ad for a 99 SC4, 54K miles, black on black, stock, all options. I talked to the guy and he says the previous owner was a retired partner in a Lexus dealership, and the car has had dealer service. Present owner has had it 2 years and has only put 3K on it. It sounds like a cream puff garage queen, with an average of 6750 miles a year. He's asking high book, but we all know it's worth it...

Sorry I can't mention where it is, but I don't want any of you all beating me to it! I have to wait 2 more weeks before the ins. co. will pay off the total loss - waiting period after a theft is to give the cops a chance to recover it. If I don't get my 93 back, I hope this guy hasn't sold the 99 to somebody else by then. Since he's asking top dollar, he hasn't gotten much response. He's in no hurry - I just may go see him next weekend and see if I can sweet-talk him into holding onto the car until two weeks from Monday.

Of course, if I go to see him, about a 3 hour trip, I will have to ride my motorcycle, since I have no car! But, if the weather's decent, that's no hardship.

Thanks again to you all for your kind words.

Wow sounds like a find I could have bought a black on black sc 4 with 40,000 something miles that was in TX but they wanted like 22k for that buster and I really had my heart set on plat on black, got mine for $13,500 and it was owned by a doctor and fairly mint . I figured if I was dropping 20 k+ I would just pony up an extra 10k and get a 03-04 sc 430.

Hope you don't get your car back and it's partly jacked up and the INS won't pay to fix, that's what you need to pray does not happen

Let me know how much you want for those mats if the INS pays off the total loss. cool
