What's going on guys? I really need help in making a decision. Here is my delima:

1. Should I keep my 95 SC400 and do some mods to it?? It is still basically all factory.

2. Should I wait another year and save the money for a BMW M3, SC 430 or CL55 AMG? I will eventually get one of these cars, but should I get it sooner or later?

I am looking for something that handles nice with some speed... So far my lexus has been reliable as they come. I was thinking about upgrading the exhaust and dropping it an inch with Ebach set up. I heard that this would make a big difference in the handling of the vehicle.

What do you guys think??

 

you didn't elaborate enough for us to make a good decision. surely, all those cars that you mentioned are upgrades to the sc you currently have, but you did not talk about budget constraints either. if just by looking at what you're trying to do, I'd say keep the sc stock, save money and buy one of those cars you mentioned (i didn't pick one because I'd rather have an IS-F). keeping the sc stock will allow you to daily drive it with less worries if you're gonna purchase a $50k weekend warrior.

 

Have you considered the BMW 1-series also? I'm not a big fan of BMW or MB but I've been reading a lot on that car recently. I would stick with Japanese, though. I'd probably keep the SC. I've always wanted an older NSX myself.

 

As far as handling goes, the M3 would be the best choice out of the3, the CL55 would be the worst. It also depends on how much room do you need, cause the SC430 is even smaller in the rear seats than the rear seats in the 400. Either way I would go with the CL55. Fast+luxury+looks= Good choice. IMHO.

 

If you can afford it buy it. My point is do what makes you happy. I'm done modding my SC and I'm thinking about selling it.

 

Buy what you like, but keeping and maintaining an older luxury car will be less expensive and at time more rewarding.

I just can't seem to wrap my mind around payments or depreciation anymore!?!?
