You can get the M45 and Q45 cheap enough to dump some money into them to get them in top running order or start some modding. My hesitation on the Q45 was sourcing OEM parts at a decent price when needed since it was a small short run in production. I thought about BMW 5series and the Audi A8 but it was just a thought lol thats about it.

On a fluke I decided to check out a IS350 that was cheaper than my budget and had to have it. I did test drive a low mileage LS430UL and it was magic but for the way I prefer to drive the IS350 made more sense.

I am with you on jumping ship after a few years and yup its an expensive dumb sickness but its real. My only advice is do not sell your GS until you ABSOLUTELY know you are buying another car and Exactly which one it is. I had a couple scrappers after letting the GS go before getting the IS350... Lesson Learned.
