Default I Doubled Down

I thought if it is good enough for riknchar it was good enough for me. I picked up another Lexus last week. A 2006 SC 430 with 60,552 miles on it. I now like Rick have a 2010 LS and a 2006 SC. It might have something to do with the fact we are both from Nebraska? Thanks Rick for the kind words over on the SC forum regarding the SC

Congrats again on your beautiful SC430! I LOVE the unique color, and those wheels look amazing to me! It's pretty surprising just how much value you can get these days on a gently driven SC430. You paid Toyota Corolla prices for a mint-condition, unique, V8-powered engineering marvel; the SC430 was (in my opinion) one of the finest cars ever produced by Lexus. I personally plan to own my SC430 for the rest of my life, and it will only get more rare and valuable the longer I own it. I don't know if it will ever be collectible, but I do think it will hold its value quite well, and the 4.3L V8 is truly bulletproof up to 300K miles with proper care.

Not only are we both from Nebraska and both own 2010 LSs and 2006 SC430s, but we also share a military heritage (both retired military members). Small world! Congrats again on the SC430!

Great find! Did you purchase from a private party?

That is a sweet ride. Congrats. I would like to double down and add an LC500 to the fleet. But that's not going to happen.

Hey, if it's good enough for a Terminator, it's good enough for me!
