Default 2010 Roll Call

I think this will be a short thread. There only 229 2010 Lexus SC 430. How many belong to forum members? I know the mirrors have both turn signal lights and puddle light which no other model has and the significant change Is audio/video. The nav is HDD and the CD changer Is now DVD/CD changer, it has Bluetooth audio (Internet radio), iPod connector,XM radio, and USB outlet.

I'm going from my 02 SC to the 2010 and while I upgraded the head unit to the Bluetooth pioneer in my 02, I'm looking forward to not having a washed out screen with the top down.

I don't have a lot of plans with mods other than luxlink, moving my Lexus spare tire kit from the 02 to the 10, and replacing the runflats. Oh, the excitement!!!

Sign in with the following only with the 2010 model:

Red/camel purchased 1-24-14 mods: none yet

I hear you. From the time they came out, I've waited patiently for the right one to come along. I wasn't about to pay the new car price and used ones were not that much of a deal. They only made 329 of them, so they are really hard to come by. I've never seen more than 4 for sale COUNTRYWIDE. California dealers typically ask way to much for them. Right now there one at a dealer for $63K! I don't know whose paying that, but it won't be me.

Who would not want the last of the series with the upgrades. It will be a while before they start going down in price. A brand new one was $70kish?

Stupid price-Yes, but you underestimate the number of stupid people. Lol. However, stupid people should not be allowed that much money.

Now I'm curious. At what price paid for a 2010 SC430 can the purchaser be considered stupid?

Perhaps it's a continuum, like $10k = brilliant, $20k = smart, $30k = average, $40k = mildly retarded, $50k = just plain dumb, $60k = stupid, $70k = drooling idiot.

I suppose it comes right down to a matter of personal opinion. To each his own.

Sheesh...........you guys have it lucky. In down under Australia, the 2010 SC 430 was around $180,000. In international terms, the Aussie dollar is no slouch and recently reached almost parity with the Greenback.

I am currently selling my 2005 SC (asking $49,000). It was a $160,000 dollar car here when new.
