Hello all,

I recently came into possession of an 02’ SC 430. It was my mother’s. She passed in 2016, we were deciding what to do with it for years. My father no longer drives. I decided to keep and garage it, purchasing a used daily driver instead of a new car. My mother inherited it from the original owner in 09’. The car originally came from Arizona, and I helped her drive it across country to NY. It has 72,000 miles on it. I just swapped out the original blown amp. The car is all original otherwise. I have to say, it’s a lot of fun!

Welcome. I'm always amazed at the number of low mileage SC430's around. They should be driven daily in my humble opinion. But I am in San Diego and pretty much have great weather almost year round. LOL

Welcome to the SC430 family. Great hand me down.

Little polishing on the headlamps will give it a new shine!

You have a White Gold Ecru color, same as mine.

And chromed 5 Star OEM rims!

Happy motoring!

Congratulations. Clean ride. It's hard to tell from the pic but if the headlight plastic covers are faded and weathered it is an easy fix. Many kits on Amazon to polish them out. Then protect the plastic is a headlight sealant.

Welcome to the forum and good call on the decision to keep it. They are great cars and will last a long time if taken care of properly, as is already evident since this is a 2002! Looks nice. Enjoy!
