Default New owner 2006 sc430

Hello everyone, just purchased a 06 with only 7200 miles. Lol it still had that new car smell. I love all the info available in this forum. I guess I'm no different, first thing I noticed were the Fred Flintstone tires(cement). I'll be changing probably this summer.

Wow! 7200 miles...It seems.the previous owner may not have enjoyed their car. How is the maintenance history on the car? Remember it's not only the mileage, but the years too.
You're correct in your assessement of the RF tires, many of our forum member have not only voiced their concerns, but also changed them. Many have made positive comments after making the change regarding the improvement in ride quality.

Congrats and welcome. I too hated the RFs. I finally switched and what a difference. Also had lowering springs installed. Now the wife has to stop and think which car she is in riding driving. The SC or the ES, that is until I get on it with the injen intake and it growls, then she knows. lol.
