The only things I would do are: newer SC because mine is a 2002, an ISF, GS350 F-sport or GSF if they ever come out, supra with tons of horsepower, or LFA. In no particular order.

A 2010 sc430?

I know there are some garage queen SC430s out there. One of them will be my replacement.

Hope mine lasts a while. I'd probably go up a few years and get another 430.

Since I currently have an SC300, probably an SC430, MKIV Supra, 2000 SC400, or an SL500.

I hope to have a lot more time with my SC before I think about something else. I still have several mods to do! Once I have it the way I want, I might do like Liquid and others and get a new body kit. The SC-ISF bumper merge Ice is doing looks great too!

i dont think ill ever not have my 430 unless its totaled...trying to keep the miles low ill be buying a lexus SUV or Toyota Truck so that we have 3 cars and the 430 gets even less use. Ill be buying an ISF or GSF in the future also and my 2IS will go to parents I think. Of course if they release a new Supra I might just have to get that

I'm tempted to go Italian, ie Ferrari F360 or F430 but must be a manual thou. The Ferrari are getting more affordable every year. At least its not an engine out to do a timing belt like the F355.

I was thinking of a Mercedes SLK55 AMG. Any of you have knowledge/experience good or bad about this roadster?

^^My dad had one up until this past December. Good little car, fast, nimble, good looking. Went through tires like crazy and the interior was cheap feeling, but overall I'd take one over the SC if maintenance costs weren't an issue.
