Default Supra???

Im pondering to sell my SC300, I know said it previously that I rather sell my GS than SC but lately Im getting an itch for a Supra. I don't know what it is about Supra, I just did a Na-t (I've done just about every thing except AEM EMS) few months ago and very happy about the car and it is beauty to me I had this car for 6 years now and invested a lot of $$$ and time.
I need your input. If I do decide to sell what should I ask for??? (check my sigs for mods and 117K miles)

Why would you sell your SC to get a supra? Your SC at she sits right now can take a TT Supra.

What do you like about the supra that you don't with the SC??

You can buy like 4 SC's for the price of a supra. They are more of a money pit than the SC...I would just stick with the SC.

I know I have only seen your GS in person man but if the SC is ANYTHING like it, KEEP THE SC! Supras are very nice but a little too flashy

supra is a great car, but i personally feel the SC is more of what the JZA80 should have been to keep the heritage of the earlier Supras. I would keep the SC, but i can see w/ having a GS, you have the luxury side covered, so i could see wanting something more sport than the SC as the second car.

Maybe I wasn't clear about "I've done just about every thing except AEM EMS" it is kinda vague but what I meant is that in knowledge (I'm still learning) it was completed w/ PT61 and the kit, fmic, safc2, gauges.

You are absolutely right but it's not about the numbers, its about a car that I always wanted.

Then you should get that Supra.

I owned a 1998 Lexus LS400 before ...
then after 2 years driving the car I traded in for a 98 GS400 (fully loaded).
I Got all the luxury I always wanted.

However ... since I've always wanted a sport coupe, I started to get bored with my GS.
I also saw some cool SCs on my morning traffic to work.

Decision ... decision .... Then I decided to sell the GS to get my 95 SC400.

I know ... I know .... It is an older car, but it has low mileage (108,000) compare to my GS (190,000) and its tittle is very clean (1 owner, no accident, always got serviced at Lexus dealer by the previous owner).

Now I am very happy because I have the car I always wanted. What I need to do right now is to get her a supercharge .. well not soon since I gotta keep up with my morgage

What do you really want? What makes you want to sell your car for a similar car that is sportier? If you can answer these questions without money being an issue, then you have your answer already.

Well, if it's a Supra that you've always wanted then why not get it? I've always wanted an SC300 (5spd) now I have one. I also wanted a S2000, now I got one, too (insurance is also killing me). Although I really like Supras(TT), but I think the prices are ridiculously high for most of them!

If you can afford the car you car you want then why not get? For me, I'm just having trouble deciding which car to go FI, but I'm in no rush at the moment.

If you really want the Supra go for it. I feel the same way sometimes but everytime I drive the SC I can't let her go. I guess you want the Supra for the true sports car that it is. I like my SC because of the sleeper status with balance of luxury and power.
