Ridiculous is comparing the SC430, or any production convertible, to a Ferrari.

It is a luxury, drive it off the lot, enjoy it for years, lux cruiser. Nothing more. People who are ignorant bash it for what it is not, without understanding what it was never meant to be.

It could, and many times is, a platform for the highly modified set. But please, comparing it to a real sports car only shows that one doesn't know what they are talking about.

It's not a piece of crap. Its a highly refined luxury production car which was never meant to be anything but.

Ice.. Thank you for the updated link.
I am curious. Do your headlights automatically level and also swivel when you turn the steering wheel?
If so, does the auto leveling work good even though you're lowered? Does the car "know" and compensate for your new ride height?
Thank you for your help.

The auto level is still active but I never really thought the light output was really all that great to begin with. As for turning left and right no it doesn't. lowering the car didn't affect it.

Default Considering buying SC

Hi Guys

Not been around for a while, still got my Gs300se which I bought in 2007. Had no problems whatsoever passed every MOT with no advisorys. LPG is still working 100% but I really like the SC 430 but I would like to convert it to LPG. I was wondering if anyone knows what size tank would go in the boot. At the moment I have a 60 litre cylinder style under the parcel shelf giving approx 300 miles.

Thanks for reading

just noticed that all my previous post have gone very strange?
