Default Dilemma: Sell the IS-F or The SC

I thought I made a final decision to sell my IS-F this coming Friday. But as this day gets closer, now I'm debating if I should just keep the IS-F and let go of the SC300.

What would you do if you're in my shoes.
I really have no reasons owning 3 cars... plus, of course my girl's. got one too. But man!

this better be the best looking , fastest, best condition SC ever or this doesnt really make sense to the average person besides someone who personally is in love with their SC.

I was gonna sell my SC once. It is far from being the best looking/condition and is mostly stock. I've barely even started the process of making her look all puuurdy. I STILL can't sell it lol. If you are an eighties baby, product of the 90s, like I am, be 100% sure you want to sell it before you do. We've got a classic waiting for its turn to be recognized as such! Don't sell the SC imo.

I say let the IS-F go. It will never be rare, or hard to find. It's not sought after like that SC. And honestly...it get's the same gas mileage. Sell the IS-F and make the SC mint with quality mods. Lol this is an SC forum! I'm not a fan of the IS-F though, the styling just doesn't appeal to me. If I saw one debadged I wouldn't know if it was a Mazda or an Infiniti.(Nothing against either, just doesn't scream Lexus to me).

I would sell the IS-F and buy the SC a 2jzgte vvti swap as an "I am sorry for even thinking about selling you" present.

All kidding aside in my first response... It sounds like you're more fond of your Sc, willing to part/sell the IS-F from the original post and since its a 5 speed another Pro for your Sc. It's tough call...
I would also like to see pictures, of both your beauties/vehicle's.

Which makes for a simpler 2JZ-GTE swap?





There's your answer.

I'd sell the IS-F, they are nowhere near as rare.

Idk, maybe I am weird. I just don't get emotionally attached to many of the newer cars, even if they are faster or have more tech.
