Very Nice find! I like what you did with the wheel purchase but I am just not 100% sold on the red. It looks very nice from the pictures but I can't visualize it being all red inside the car. Can you post some pictures of the interior? Again, Sweet car!!!!!

My car is the 2005 same interior The dash is black the rear shelf and the top hinges The headliner is black as is the visors and the door pillers mechnisim is covered in black the glove box is black The consol is red as is the seats . The door interiors are red The dash cover is black as well as the speedo cluster. The rugs are red .Its really not enough red to make you want to run . I will try and post some pics. There still in my camera .

Actually the black inside the interior is really a very dark blue almost ink color. hard to describe .

It sounds like you got a very good deal! Low 20s is ok for an 02 but with the fact that it is the SE, you did very well!

What are those wheels, by the way? At first I thought they were the G-spiders but then I decided it was something else. What size are the wheels? And what tires did you put on it?

How's the ride since you changed the wheels?

For others reading this thread, click on "My Garage" under vietpr1nce's name and he has 3 pictures posted. Unbelievably nice. #85 of 100....wow.

this is the coolest, rarest sc430 ever made. it's the yoda of all SC's...it started the revolution! all bow down to the NM SC430!!!

love it! even the outragious red interior and everything.

candy cane red interior...silver bells exterior.

I looked at it at the Dallas Neiman Marcus store in Plano, Tx Christmas 2001 when they opened up Willow Bend Mall. It was quite a scene! People were going crazy over it.
