Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, did your sis' bf end up buying another convertible? I may end up with a bimmer... reluctantly though.

is vins' car of deep purple? it looks black to me... i went online to check again and it still looks black to me. LOL btw what's the price differential with a used soarer?

haha, yep that's dealer! hmmm sorry but i'd hesitate to take white. for practical and asthetic reasons.

Black, silver is fine... deep purple maybe not. Sounds like the one you spotted is from the famous Tin Hau dealer... funny thing is it's been on the market for 2 months+ already.

Will be taking financing. How old is that car? 2001? Wondering if it's the same one I saw...

Apologies for the long pause - been travelling. Was in Cali and saw a few. I think they look better with top down than up! Thanks for keeping a lookout. They don't really come up often in the second hand market in HK eh? Budget would be $300k. Prefer SC430 over Soarer. Haha, for pretty much the same reasons you listed.

oh yes thanks!! :D :D so far this is actually the only one i've come across...

Yeah I thought the price is bit on the high side too and dealer prefers if I take financing... I suspect he's willing to hold out for the right buyer. What's the range I should be looking at for this car? Anyway is this model popular in HK? Hardly see any around. At best once a month!

Hi all, I've chanced upon a second-hand SC430 for sale here - it's 2001 model with 35000km on it. Quite excited!! Asking for about US$43k. It's black with cream leather seats, 5-speed... not sure about the tires. Haven't had a test drive yet but would love to hear your thoughts on what to look out for. Any SC owners here from HK? Would also love to hear your thoughts on owning one. :D My concern is that the hard-top fails which would be prohibitively expensive to replace. Any special maintenance issues? Any advice is welcome. Many thanks in advance! :winky:
