Picked up a 06 in Dec '18 105k for 11.5 . Very nice in and out. Spent most of its life in Beverly Hills and appears to have had a pampered life. Happy with purchase.
2008 with a little under 88K for $16K plus tax and tags and it puts a giant smile on my face ever time I drive it. The 32 valve V8 is so intoxicating with the way it effortlessly spools up power. Of course your gas mileage may vary as it's just so tempting to occasionally mash the gas pedal.

Congrats and Welcome to the club. Try ECT PWR or S-shift, you will love her even more.
You will love that Tiger Eye Mica color when you are out in the sun. Same Color as my 06. Great price. Enjoy and welcome to the club

Thanks Dennis!
Funny you should mention the color as today I was at a coffee shop around 4 pm with the sun lower in the sky and it looked amazing. I was not the only one to notice as 2 people in the shop also mentioned how the color sparkled in the sunlight. I'm really lucky because when I first saw it on the web the pictures did not do it justice as it just looked like a dull brown. So glad I went to see in in person and realized how great the car looked in the Tiger Eye Mica and how it was in such great shape. Can't stop smiling.
I started casually looking at SC's last February after seeing one....thinking that would be a nice second car. Decided on an 07 or 08...was watching prices and educating myself...then the closer to spring the cars were going for 3-5k more than before. Could have been just the asking price and not the selling price. Now I am getting close to being in position to buy one and I am hoping prices are dropping a little. Anybody else notice price swings by the time of the year....or just an anomaly?
I am looking at cars with less than 60k miles.
Looks like I might be choosing the wrong time to start looking at buying an SC430. I have a ton of Toyota toys, as well as 97 SC400 with 255K, and Datsun 240z. However I would like to get an SC430 for when mommy and daddy go out on the town without the kids. Been seeing some very "questionable" listings online with deep discounts. Crossing my fingers on this purchase, personally not looking to spend to much on the car. Since it will really only be used sparingly throughout the year.
now: '14 grey CT200h w/ black seats
'05 green SC430 with tan seats then: '94 Supra - died in the line of duty
'03 MR2 - killed by one of my kids '91 MR2 - died of old age
'70 Datsun 2000 Fairlady
Nice list man I have a 73 240z, 87 Supra (might sell it and get an SC430), 91 MR2, 97 SC400, 15 Tundra

Mine is my daily driver too, to kinda surprises me so many keep theirs for occasional use, upside is if I ever need to get another good ones will probably still be around

Do you have anyway to locate the previous owner?
if you can, I bet they have the extra keys and any missing books, if applicable.
