You could get a nice later model Porsche for that price, or a Boxster, but you can't get a new 997 without another 20,000.  Yes the back seat in my Lexus is a joke.

A car you might consider is the MB350 SLK55.  I just bought my wife one  and she and I love it.  For a lesser price the Corvette Z06 is probably the BEST bang for the buck iin the automotive industry.

As I have said before the Lexus SC430 is a boulevard cruiser, not a sports car.  It is sluggish and doesn't corner well.  The build quality is excellent and the Levinson stereo is absolutely first drawer.

I have a 2002 SC430 and I've loved it. I'm not exactly a true sports car bigot though, so it fit me perfectly. Although I do have a dealer friend who just got a brand new vette and I liked it more than I thought I would. Don't know that I could do without a hardtop convertable. Yes, the back seat of the SC is a joke, but my kids are still small enough to fit back there for the short drive to school. Probably hold on to the SC430 (or even get a newer one) until the kids don't fit back there anymore.

Hi all,

I am trying to upgrade from my '97 ES300 to an SC430. I have been looking one with low mileage (<10K). I had pretty much only been looking at '03s or '04s because of the low mileage thing. A black '02 with only 9.9K just came available this week. Were there any significant differences from '02 to '03, or is it pretty much the same car.

Thanks for any info...
