Smile Can lightning strike twice

In 2007 I bought a Barcelona Red SC400 with 92k on it for $10k. This is what it looked like.

I just sold my SC400 with 205k Miles for $4k and found another Barcelona Red SC400 with 88k Miles for $6k here are the pics of my new baby. I was able to keep my navigation and rims

Here are the pics.

Very nice!

Only thing I dislike is the gold emblems, never have liked those on Toyota's or Lexus's.

Anyhow, very clean interior, looks good. You're quite the lucky guy. Why'd you sell the first one though?

I figured that since i sold the old one for 4 and bought the new one for 6 I only paid 2 and saved 117k miles a better interior and paint and no problems. My old car needed a rebuilt rack and my tilt steering motor was out and needed brakes and getting close to another time belt water pump change (did it when I got the car and at 180k). This car drives like new. The previous owner bought it certified from JM Lexus and and carfax showed it was driven only 5k miles per year.

That's awesome! Wouldn't mind doing that a couple years down the road. Except I have some parts that would be a pain to swap over...

I didn't even know that was a factory color. And to find another one, that's just crazy.
