Default should i keep my ls460 ?

So i am super confused right now ,

Earlier i used to drive my ls460 like 200 miles a day i used to commute between two cities for work . But now i have moved to my city back and do like 20 miles back and forth .

I am starting to get itch to get something little sporty or something, i used to love my LS for the daily long drives , now i rarerly do any long trips .

I was thinking to get like a IS300 1st gen and Swap it with 2jz GTE or get 350z or 370z .

I am really confused as in what to do , and another thing the longer i keep the Ls460 the more value it will drop .

Help me out guys as in what to do

Do what your heart tells you. If a smaller sportier vehicle suits your needs, make the switch, rather than asking what others would do. You're opening up a can of subjective opinions.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

You have to decide if you will be ok with a smaller car and different ride. I'd love to have a small weekend car. But for me, i most likely won't be driving anything small on a regular basis.

It's your call.

I would be fine with a Smaller car we have 3 cars at home , so i can use the others when needed for the family .

I do love my Ls460 but it lacks the fun part

Then sell it. Worst thing that can happen is you get another car and end up wanting the 460. Then you can just grab another one.

Every time I feel myself wanting a smaller, faster car I take my 460 for a long drive and those thoughts disappear.

Personally, I'd get a Porsche 993 with around 70,000 miles and watch it go up in value while I drive a phenomenal sports car. But that's not the type of vehicle I'd be willing to put a bunch of miles on.
There's something awesome about driving a car that is going up in value rather than down.

BTW, I have two early '70's 911's, each costing around $8,000. Each one is now worth around $60,000. I don't think I'll ever buy a new car again.

I was gonna pull some chump change outta my pocket and get this one. But then I realized, my pants are at the cleaners.

but the weird thing is after i erased the codes i drove like 50 miles and stopped at a gas station and the Lights go on again . and ignoring the lights i keep driving in like 30 miles the light Disappear on their own . then i drive like around 200 miles more on the same day no Lights .

i come back home drive to work again and then i stop at a gas station again to takegas the lights turn on again ... WTF , how the lights are linked to the gas station ! any suggestions ?

i scan for codes again and its same code C1391 abnormal leak in accumulator .

now you guys are enjoying free replacement , could anyone help me to see if i could even just parts from
USA Lexus USA Lexus
and i will have the actuator replaced here my self . is there a way to contact lexus USA to see if they can help me .
