Default New Member/Potential Lexus Owner

Hello all,

I'm Minde! I just joined the forum to start the hunt for my new car and I'm leaning towards
Lexus. I currently have a bagged Accord (pics below) which I am going to part ways with
after 6 beautiful years. I guess it's time to move on.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you and potentially finding my new car!

Thank you sir! Looking at IS-F's so far. It's pretty much IS-F vs. EVO 9 vs. S2K.

Started parting out recently and hope to get something new by the time summer rolls around.

Welcome. Wow, 3 totally different cars in your list! I've worked with all of them and I guess it depends on what your after. The ISF is my favorite car to own so far. I like it because it is very well rounded. Everything it does, it does well.
Nothing beats the Evos steering, AWD or the 4G63 on boost.
Nothing beats the the S2k when your at 9k with the top down.
But, nothing beats cruising quietly at 80mph in a luxury car then dropping a few gears and your suddenly in a Lexus muscle car.

I would LOVE to own an ITR (which most people look down upon just because it's an older Honda) but I have no garage and my brothers shop has no room for me.

I want the s2k to build for performance but would also need a daily driver and I'd have to watch out for the s2k with thieves.

The Evo 9 is great overall, I wouldn't need a daily, and can drive it to most places.

The ISF, like you said is pretty well rounded but I have a strong urge to build something serious performance wise. I see myself buying multiple sets of wheels with an ISF just like I did with the Accord. But that's why I'm here!

Welcome Lomein, Lexus is the way to go i changed Ive owned multiple cars and trucks but never kept them long till i got my Lexus they are well rounded and if you are looking at ISF then you will really enjoy the luxury sport sedan life.

Are you looking to buy new or used?

Thank you! I would most likely have to buy used at this point in time. Won't be able to afford anything new until I'm done with my masters. Hoping all goes well with parting out my current vehicle.
