Should I Or Shouldn't I?

Yep.. you have to keep looking until you find the right one!

I spent 2 months last fall, looking at about 10 in the end... some were looking very much like what you'd expect of a used car with 20 - 40K on the clock.. on the 9th I was in Birmingham and rather than drive home, told my wife to have a little kip & dream of her new car; drove up to the Scotland border where I thought there was a "mint" one.

11,000 miles with the clock and the look/feel of a car that's never left the showroom.. all at a price £5K under others of a similar reg... the joys of making a low offer 5 days before christmas out in the middle of no-where..!!

Although on the drive back to Berkshire I was wondering if I was wise to hand over my debit card for so much of an instant cash drain... within days I knew that it was one of the best decisions I'd ever made.

Am looking at a Maser or Gallardo for myself.. MCGUS.. your comments make me start to drool at the thought of actually committing to one... ( may take another year to build up the bank balance )

But within it's own right, in my opinion, you can't do better than the SC 430.

soo smooth, such a pleasure.. 7 months later, the feel good factor is there time and time again... we look at each other on our way into the big city and both say "such a nice car :) " have left clubs in the wee hours wondering if it's been nicked.. so far, so good.

...started looking at alloys again.. as these are ones that were sitting in my garage and happened to fit... think I'm going to kick down and pimp my ride a little, Thinking 5-spoke Chrome 19inch...

Hi SC BERKS

I see your looking to change your wheels i been thinking of the same.

But be warned that your pressure switches on the wheels are a problem.

They will not go onto all alloys.

They are easy to damage when switching to new wheels, around £110 each switch.

Should you not use them then you need to turn the bulb on the dash off as well as the warning sound off.

Not sure if you need to reset the ecu as wheel.

Do i remember right that you had different wheels on your car anyway?

It still seems to get rubbish reviews but for what it is at the price point I reckon it does the job extremely well........all that said, sadly (or happily!) I couldn't put the Maser out of my head so on Saturday I pick my Spyder up....

I'll be sorry to leave the Lexus mark for the timebeing but after three cars and about 8 years of ownership I reckon I may be back!

Congrats on the new car. I bet you can't wait for Saturday!

I noticed that the car does get some bad reviews but for me it is the perfect car. I can only assume that these reviewers are basing their opinions on a quick drive and not living with the car for a few weeks. Most reviewers also wrongly say the SC is a sports car when it is not.
