Lex3486 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Well my friends, I sold the problem child of the family. She left my driveway for the last time last night as I stood there with $5000 in my hand. I'll miss her...but it's on to new things with the SC. All just part of growing up I guess, but I still wish I was Jay Leno and could keep every car I've ever owned B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcv10guy Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Ya that's definitely a sad moment . Well at least your have $5k to use towards your SC or other things. That's a nice picture of your ES by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex3486 Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Alright I'll have to admit that I forgot about this post haha. Anyway, first thing's first; final outcome was that we finally got it back and it seems rock solid now, but has no warranty left (biggest reason we decided to get outta it now). As for paint, I just washed and waxed her regularly; I'm pretty sure that it has been painted sometime between 1993 and now but it was an EXCELLENT paintjob if in fact it had been painted. That is definitely one thing that attracted me to this car in the first place, since my 92 ES was so beat up. I used Meguiar's Caranuba Wax and Turtle Wax car wash with wax in it (although I wouldn't recommend it cause it leaves a film on your windshield that's a pain in the rain...). And as for the $5k and the SC...I didn't see any of that money cause it went straight to mommy's 2000 ES payment, but I did however get $150 to tint the windows for Christmas and there's rumors of some financial assistance to be credited towards either IS300 wheels or instrument cluster repair-whichever I choose to put it towards, so we'll see....See, the cool thing is that dad's really into the SC as much as I am so that's an advantage when it comes to me wantin to polish out the rough spots hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Always sad to see them go, the relationship between driver and car is a lot stronger than most people imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
