It would be good for you to see a Carfax report too. They're usually pretty interesting and will tell you if the car has been serviced on a regular basis. If the car has low mileage and is Certified with a warranty that woud be good too. Sometimes you may spend a little more than book value if the car meets and exceeds criteria. You won't be sorry if you get a SC430!

Awesome looking car! Gorgeous car. Congrats! The pearl white would've been my first choice if I purchased new but the silver isn't too hard to take. :) Enjoy your new car!

Last July, I found a 2002 Lexus SC430 through msn autos. It had 16,000 miles, was Certified and had a favorable Carfax report. I had a nice 2000 Toyota Solara with 23,000 miles to trade in The asking price for the Lexus was $39,995. I got it for $28,000 and my car. The internet sales manager drove the Lexus down to me and took my Solara on trade. The dealer was in Allentown, PA and I'm in upstate NY. I've now had the car one year have put 5,000 miles on it. I had to replace the tires but other than that, the car has not been problematic in the least.

Not exactly the same problem, but I have a new to me 2002 Lexus SC430 (16,000 miles). Initially, I had problems loading CD's. Used a Phillips Laser Lens cleaner. Works great now!
