Unless you're talking about a limited production exotic, or comparing a high priced vehicle (a lexus sc is not high priced...)

a newer car as long is not an economy model is always more prestigious then a used one...

Have you seen the newest accords and camrys? theyre quite nice, and I would say maybe even more luxorious then the old SC. At least if you get the top of the line trim level.

Wow, how are you going to attack this kid like that? Not only that kind of nonsense puts a bad example of how this forum behaves but as well as SC owners

Yes I have. They feel like most new cars (scion tc, mazda 6, subaru wrx) cheap. A clean 99-00 SC with black interior and good sun undamaged leather is exponentially nicer. More so with a nice modern stereo.

Being in both I disagree with you. I wouldnt put a wrx, or a scion TC or even the mazda 6 in same category as a camry or accord leather interior. Not in same league.

If you are comparing leather it is Ferrari/Maserati or bust. Even brand new Mercedes Benz, BMW and Lexus vehicles have a "cheap" feeling leather.

I was referring to the styling of the interior with a car that isn't beat up that is to say in like brand new condition.

First off, somebody doesn't know what exponentially means. And by someone I mean account2x. 2nd, if you don't like my car, don't be an ******* about it. Just say what you don't like about it, and allow me to explain my logic behind it. And really consider why it is the way it is before you judge it. And about how a valet is going to enjoy your car more then mine is hilarious. I think it would be funny to see a valet squeeze in my bucket and try and figure out how my quick release wheel works. And then not stall my car. Honestly, I think your dumb for letting a random valet drive your car at all. All of that money tied up into making it pretty and all it takes is that kid to curb your wheel, ding your door, or scratch your paint. The only people I let drive car are my girlfriend and a handful of my friends.

So your saying my girlfriends moms 2006 bmw 760il has the same leather quality of a 2006 Hyundai elantra? Interesting... because my grandmothers Hyundai elantra has leather seats and they feel like poop. As for the bimmer.... pure sex. Amazing roadtrip car might I add. aside from the v12 devouring 93 octane like a fat kid eats cake.

Its just a grey 4 door (325E) with a m25b25 and 5 speed swap on xxr 513's and ie3 springs with recaro seats from a 91 gli jetta and a welded diff. I MISS IT =( wish I still had her for a daily.

Best first car I could ask for. This one girl I dated called it the microwave on wheels. Lol

I don't remember saying that.

I do recall mentioning how a brand new BMW still has cheap feeling leather compared to a nice Italian car.

My favorite part is how the title said don't hate, and that's all that some people came to do.

Sweet ride man. Way to know your limits and not try to over power yourself. I would have tried to get as much power out of it as I could afford at your age. Well that's what I'd do now too but I'm a lot better driver than I was then lol
