Default Is it time to move on?

Its very very hard for me to even think it! but I think I might be looking for change of cars again. I bought my 97 Sc300 over a year ago, and started my modding streak on it, and now all it does is sit in my garage to be driven only once a week =(. I also have been eyeing a New ISF or IS350, cant decide if the bump in price is worth it for the ISF... sigh decisions decisions, how much does everyone think I can get for my car if i should sell it? she hasnt even broke 100k miles yet =(

My only next step is to NA-T or 2JZGTE, however I really do not want to deal with california smog and cops anymore. What does everyone think I should do?

Start to finish

First day bringin her home to replace my 95sc300

dvd/led lights install/nav/tein edfc/turbo timer/3spoke wheel

lowered tein flex/wind visors/is300 wheels

drilled rotors and caliper job

hid top and bottom

tsx retro

18" sportmax 502

kicking it with my mr2(still for sale too)

Upgrades in cars are inevitable. I usually drive my SC for 2 days after a dry streak and I'm back in love. Put yourself in it for longer than a quick drive.

Hmm that's hard. If it was me I'd just keep the SC.

I would personally keep the cars saying that there all paid off. Even if you did sell them both you would have a nice car payment if you bought a ISF. The base price starts at $57,000. Fun car to drive I would buy one in a second. Price is the problem.lol

Your SC is really nice, why did you make it a garage queen? I agree with OLT, you have to drive it to enjoy it, and once you take her out for a ride, you'll understand.

I hate the da*n ding ding ding ding the ISF makes when driving it. It would never give me second when I wanted it. I had to rush up to a corner brake hard down shift as far as possable. Then hold it in that gear around a corner but the entire turn it was still Ding'ing at me. very annoying

i would keep the SC. every now and then i'll fall in love with my sc all over again. plus is-f's are cool, i've driven a few of them, but the tacky wanna be carbon fiber interior is lame, and it is way too overpriced
