Hello,
I have an '02 SC430, and in reading through the posts I can see that I am
not alone in suffering the following:
Blown driver's side door speaker
Creaky top
The shakes (tire balance not holding)
Defective O2 sensor
Noisy tires
I bought this car used in pristine condition a few months ago for $31,300.
My sister had been leasing it, and it was garage kept and generally babied.
Despite these issues, still not a bad deal, and I know I'll manage to resolve them.
Oddly enough, the top becomes significantly less noisy after it rains, which is
quite a frequent occurence down here in Miami. This leads me to believe that
the problem may be lubricated into submission; I'll try and see.
