Default Okays its for reals this time..

I picked up a C350 last week.... My SC300 is going to its new owner this weekend. I already took full payment.

I didnt really want to sell the SC.. It also wasnt because I was bored of it.. I love the car. It just made more financal sense as I just bought a home and remodeled it.. I depleated alot of my funds. The money I made will go to restock my savings funds. Imma miss the car alot.

Ill be on the forums still. AND I will BE BACK with another SC in another year or two, just nothing this krazyy o_O lol. Im thinking NA-T

Pictures of the new ride:




As you can see I already started to Mod it. Enjoy the pictures. Im sure the new owner of my SC300 will introduce himself next week on the forums.

ILL BE BACK !!!!

I hate to see your SC go, but that Benz is nice. Your SC was always one of my favorites.

Hmmmm... I think I would have kept the SC and NOT bought that Benz. Terrible trade IMO.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah might be a trade down in some peoples eyes. I already miss the power from the Lexus. But I needed something a little more practical and business friendly. (4door) Daily Running around in a Turbo SC only attracted kids and cops.

I wanted something I could really truly daily drive without being afraid of getting pulled over and still look decent. I also wanted to try at least 1 german car in my lifetime. Im 26 so might as well play now before I get older.

I was debating on these 4 doors.

- 3 series (only 2 door looks nice, 4 door is ugly, very poor relibility, everyone has one/modded)
- Lexus ISx50 (4 door is too cramped for 4-5 people, everyone has one/modded, style is getting outdated imo)

The C-class I dont see too many people that have a nice modded one around my area. I have full warranty til 2016, and got 1.9% financing on this CPO.

Also the value of our SCs are going to ****... its really sad =(. If i decided to keep the SC any longer for years to come. I would not have gotten the amount I asked recently. Its really the best move financially for me to use the money for my home.

Ill build another turbo sc300 when I have extra funds to play with on a smaller budget. This time I wont go so overboard on a 6sp/usdm 2jzgte. Ill be back.. in another black SCx00 probly 2JZGTE single 5sp. =D

Nice. Definitely stick around the forums man! Maybe in a few years when you are ready you can be lucky enough to buy your old car back? Either way, best of luck to you.
