This may seem as if it were a random question but I just recently sold my first two sc's but im not sure if I should go with another SC or a Q45. Im so lost what are your opinions? Thanks.

Its always nice to have an SC in the garage.
They are cheap enough now to buy one for a toy.

I was initially going to pick up a 2002+ Q45 but at the time they were well over my budget. I see that their resale value is very poor so you can probably pick one up for a good price.... I love my SC4 tho and i'm happy with it.

The stock SC is a sports car compared to an F50 Q45. Be ready for the ultimate in floaty-boat ride and body roll if the suspension is stock. Loved the motor and interior when I was driving one, but the car felt like it needed firmer suspension tuning and better brakes. Apparently the 2003+ cars got an ECU reflash to make them a bit quicker than the 2002's. I wouldn't sell my SC for one. However, they're great value for the money

At this point in my life, I would get the Y33. SC, on the other hand, is another great car. If you feel a two door would suit you better, get an SC. If you feel a four door will suit you better, get the Q45.

Strangly enough I have both an f50 q45 and an sc300, the q45 is fun and fairly quick but its definatly no sports car. And those headlights aren't justs for show, they are amazing. The car in general is a well made, quick and luxurious but more oriented to an older crowd. And the navigation sucks.

Depends on the year and maintenance of each. There is no one shot answer, each car is different.
