Pondering a little
I’ve had my car for about 3 years and have not put a single mod into her. Mainly, due to financial constraints but I have loved her just the way she came. Well I’m about to graduate school and was thinking about getting another car which is the 2004 Lexus GS430. Before anyone throws the tomatoes help me make a rational decision. I cleaner her for the CL ad and I gatta say it would be sad to see her go. However, the GS430 is a mighty car with a lot of kick in RWD.
CL SSM 6 Speed 105k with black interior no navi (pictures included)
GS will be black on black with Navi 91K miles (picture included)
Thoughts?

This is some great advice. Glad to see honest people respond. I’m actually traveling to Peru in a couple weeks for 9 days. My last spring break... ever

Lol I was just there for two week in November.
Try and get to huacachina... When you arrive in Lima you can pay the cab drivers to drive u there directly.. It's about 5 hours but Soo worth it... Only for 2-3 days you'll get the whole experience. Make sure you take the dune buddy guide ride to the coastline.. It's just amazing the scenery. Make sure u haggle the cab drivers. They will try and stiff you cause ur a foreigner lol.
Lima is ok, they got some good food lemme tell you. Go to alfrescos they have the best saviche omg. To die for.
Custco is really good, the altitude will get to you the first few days, but it's a good place to be if you want to go to Machu Picchu like we did.
I reccomend you take the bus up to the ruins, then you will have the energy to walk around and enjoy the scenery. And then you can climb Machu Picchu mountain. Which most people would never dare to climb.. 3000 ft of ancient inca stairs. When you get to the top there is no water. So bring a camelback the big one that holds 3 litres. I did and my 5 friends did not... They were all beggin me for water. I have never seen such a dehydrated bunch of shlubs in my life :-)
Have a blast pal, it won't be hard. And keep an eye out for thieves if you are not in a big group, they prey on people like us. I swear, be safe

We went zip lining, white water rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking.... I am sure I am forgetting some stuff too.
There are ruins in custco too! A few different sectors of it. You can mKe a decent day out of it and it's not expensive really. Maybe 30$ at most... There currency is less than 1/3 of yours so you will be living like kings no matter where you go.
We stayed in a hostel called Loki, just be ware tho hostels usually have 4-6 ppl per room so if you want privacy, make sure you inquire about that :-)
If you are going to custco just be prepared for the altitude it does mess with everyone.
I had altitude pills but I got very very tingly hands and feet. To the point I stopped taking the pills and would rather just deal with the elevation... Which you get use to after two days or so. My other friends who took them also got the same symptoms and then stopped taking them.

Keep the CL, get a job after school, save money and go from there to plan/save for your next car. Being that the CL is bone stock with over 100k theres no need to treat it as a weekend driver, id keep it as long as possible.
