LS430forme Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm planning to buy an used 05 or 06 SC430. But the price of 06 seems in the range of $30k+ and the price of 05 is only around $25k (same mileage). My question is the big difference in cost worth the money just one year newer. I greatly appreciate all helpful input from the current SC430 owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Petree Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 As far as I can tell they are identical, just different years. As far as I know there isn't any difference between any of the 430s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS430forme Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Anyone else convinces me to spend $5k more to get an 06? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iolmaster Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 They also went from a 5 speed to 6 speed transmission with nicer stock wheels. All the SCs are nice. Just decide if these few changes are worth 5K to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
