If it was a 06, I would take it. The 03 and 05 are the same, and the price difference is 5k, I would take the 03. Of course, many other factors will influence the outcome, so inspect both throughoutly then make your final decision. Good luck.

The differences between the 03 & 05 are pretty minor. The main one that comes to mind is that I believe that the 05 has BT. But for $3500 difference, you can add an awesome sound system that has BT and a whole lot more.

It has a TB sticker. 90,359. 3-19-12. Pics always look better than reality. Some clearcoat peel on rear spoiler and drivers seat four use some new leather. Drove nice and engine sounded good. White interior could use some clean8ng. Now need to run Carfax

Also, here is quick tip if there is not a free carfax available to you and you want to verify if there are any accidents etc. -
- Post an ad on ebay like you are selling a vehicle and in the description you will enter in the VIN # of the care you are looking to buy
- Once posted, you will see that the ad generates a free AutoCheck report for the vehicle
I always used this method just to check if there are any accidents reported..happy hunting!

those blue dash LEDs look amazing! Did it help in the daytime or not difference?
its a very nice, well cared for car!
if I may make a suggestion, you should add more pictures. Have about 12-16 pics of the exterior, showing the body in great detail. I think craigslist will allow many pictures. Do the same for the interior.
use an example from a car dealer website...like one...
your car is SOOOO much nicer!

What happened in the service history from 6/4/08 with 38,984 miles on the clock until 1/20/15 with 95,279 miles on the clock and now up 99,900. It was spot on for the service history through 6/4/08 and then just drops totally off the service history until 1/20/15 which is when I assume bought it. If you have all the paperwork of the items you have addressed then you should go in and update the service history yourself. That would make your SC 430 which looks great by the way much more attractive because a 61k void in the service history does not look good.

After a two year, multi-state search I landed a gorgeous 2002 with 115K miles on it. You’re entering a good time of the year to purchase a convertible - in the non-sunbelt region. My car was traded in at an Audi dealer, in Cleveland, in December. They just wanted the car gone. I stole it.
FWIW, I was using CarGurus as my primary search tool - but I found the above car on AutoTrader. In other words, not all vehicles are listed on all “cars for sale” search engines.
Good luck, be patient, but be ready to strike . . . the really nice ones don’t last long.
