I've got to ask you some questions first.

Do you value luxury or sporty ride and design?

Four doors better than 2?

Manual transmission or slushy?


If I was gonna replace a TL, I would wait for the new TSX, that would be my choice.

But I always land on the sporty, four door, manual side of those questions...

Sup Mike? Sorry to hear the car is totaled. I would go for another TL. AS I mentioned to you before, I do not care too much for the IS300, because it is too simple in my opinion, plus it is a rear-wheel drive. If we have another winter like this year, you'll suffer in the snow. So my vote is for the 02 TL-S. (1)

IS300--plenty of a/m parts available now that'll make you forget about the TL-S, get a 7yr/100k Lexus warranty and the price on a used one is very reasonable compared to new...

I'd go for the IS300. I love how that car looks. I think it looks way better than the TSX.

I would go to a TL-S in your situation or a G35 or possibly the new V6 accord.

I'm not a fan of the IS 300...

I would wait for the TSX and the new TL/TL-S (if time is not a problem).

BTW, I don't like the IS.

Sup mike, so they totaled it huh... The IS is the enemy, and I wnet to the track the other night and watched 2 of em run 15.6-15.7's. Used S4??? I don't know your price range but I like the TSX. Or just keep it in the familly and get the Type S, the most for your buck.

most likely going to get a used 02 SSM TL-S. a guy who works next door from my dads restarant wants to get ride of his TL-S to start a new business so its prob going to be mine within 2 weeks or so if eveyrthing goes well. Down side now is worrying about the tranny... nooo. pob wont be to bad.

Jon now i can keep up with you!!! hahahaha

hopefully ill get it before the 1s meet of spring.

Nice! Hope it works out for ya, And as for keepin up, I think you will pass me. Once I put the rims on its gonna be a hell of a lot slower. I got my racing out of my system for a while last week at the track. Ran a 14.8, you'll have to start to beat on yours as soon as you get it.
By the way SSM
