I have been searching for about a month now for the SC 430. My predicament is whether to buy a lower mileage 80 to 90,000 miles with of course in both situations the time belt has been serviced or do I go to a higher mileage 150 K miles that has all new struts, all new tie rods sway bars and of course as before timing belt this also has replaced water pump and timing belt tensioners. So do I go with a 80,000 mile vehicle which is a timing belt replaced or do I look at the other vehicle 150,000 with all front end all redone ? These are the same year 2002. Appreciate your thoughts. Richard.

I would search for the maintenance schedule to ascertain what was required and when it was completed. Then, I would have the vehicle inspected before commiting to the purchase.

Went and bought the 150k mile car. I’ll keep you posted. Try to send pics after I get settled in. Just returned from 5 hour trailing car home. Richard
