Default Think I Pulled The Trigger

Well I think I pulled the trigger tonight on a 2006 SC 430 with 60,600 on the clock pending inspection and pick up on Wednesday. It is indeed TigerEye. The Vin is JTHFN48Y469002012 if you want to check it out. Impeccable Service history from 10 miles up until 59254 when the current owner bought it in Aug of 17. The only known issues is the nav door will not come down. The nav works but the door will not close.

Good find on a unique color. How much did you give up on it?

If the deal goes through today which I believe it will the seller had been asking $16,000 but we bought it for $15,000. It has a new set of tires put on at 59,295 miles New WP/TB also done at 59,295 miles on 25 Aug 17. A new battery back on 16 Feb 16 at 58,106 miles. The service history is excellent. It has lived it whole life being serviced at Lexus of Tulsa. I will know more later today after I actually see the car for the first time.

Congrats on your new ownership.
So which one is going to be the garage queen? The LS or the SC?

I believe the SC will claim that title and yes the Bronco II is pissed. He will now reside out in the cold unless I can talk my sister who lives down the street 4tenths of a mile and who is installing an inground pool to expand her pool house to include a 2 car garage in one end. Yes I know I only need 1 extra stall at this time but 2 stalls would give me room for I don't know maybe a LS 600HL in the future?

Congrats DJ

When looking at the car, check to see if the Vin stickers are
on each panel. This will tell you if all the paint work
and panels are all original and the car was never
repainted or replaced.

sometimes Carfax will not tell you if the car was ever in
a minor accidents where the panels were replaced or
repainted.

You'd definitely appreciate a LS600hL, Dennis! I am extremely happy with my loaded 2010!

Dennis, I think Jonas also wanted you to confirmed the stickers match the cars VIN. If that was the case, I misunderstood your post and thought you only checked for the stickers.

We are excited for you!

Awesome news !

If you see all the vin stickers are on the panels and it all matches
up, you can safely conclude the car has never been in wreck.

Most body shops typically cannot reuse a vin sticker onhHey was . This is how you can tell if your car
usvall original.

welcome aboard! Any pics?
