I agree with getting the SC 430. I just picked one a new '03 two weeks ago at the dealer. Because of this forum, I complained about the run flats, so they took off the Bridgestones and replaced with run flat Dunlops. Only have about 500 miles on the car, so the jury's out on the tires.
Compared to my '01 BMW 330 ci convertable, the car drives more smoothly (reminds me of the ride of the Jag XK8--not the great handling of the BMW, but a good compromise of comfort vs. performance). The only problem is that my wife hated the 330 and loves the SC, so its never around. Good news is I get a ride to the airport when travelling, because she doesn't want it parked for the week.
