Question Keep my TL or get a old skool GS300?

Ok, i found a nice old skool Limited Edition GS300 with 68K miles for 15Gs. It is a gunmetal color with a nice Japanese kit and cool lookin whale tail.
Now, my 2000 TL has almost 20K miles and i still owe about 23Gs. I could just sell it and break even and not owe anything. Only mod i got now is Apex'i coilovers.... If i get rid of the TL, i wont have to have a 600 a month car note no more. But i would have to drive a older Lexus. Only thing i'll miss is the nice comfortable interior and nav of the TL..... Sigh, decisions decisions... what yall think??

I say go for it. I love hooked up GS300's and 400's. Both recent and late models. Plus that extra $600 a month could be used towards modding the $h!t out of the GS. Twin turbo GS300 baby!

AHhhhh...

Mistor Mui: I would prob get rid of the TL. FIrst of all it was in a pretty bad accident and its not running like new anymore right? Plus you have such big payments. I still love the old school GS and they make nice kits for it. I think you should get the GS but thats just IMO. Good luck to whichever you choose.

WOW $600 a month US, that's high........ Mine is way too high already, well, until I see yours.......


Anyhow, I am looking into trading in the TL as well. I mean I am close to the point that I can breakeven. As soon as I can do that... I will get rid of it... for many reasons....

But I would get something like the WRX, C-coupe, or most likely the RSX-S...

I am really not a big fan of an old school GS. I like the newer models with the quad circular headlights. But if it is going to get rid of the $600 monthly payment then just do it.
It all comes down to you and if you are happy with the old school GS then do it. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

BTW, what year is the GS you're looking at?

It's a 94..... i dunno, i just heard some bad stuff about this car recently. One of my friend's said it gotz engine problems. I did kinda wonder how and why he bought it at 60K miles and he only added 8K miles to it. And he had it for a couple years already. My car has been in a accident, but its running perfect w/ no problems ever..... So i guess i'll do the most logical thang, heh... Just to save 7Gs, its not worth me driving a 94 model car anyways. O well, so much for this plan. Dont matta anyways, one of my friends still pickin up this GS300 i found. (Nopi gonna buy it Pat, BTW it's Nick's GS300 that used to work at Endless)

aTL:

hey nice GS on your profile! Nice pics!

couple questions:

1) Why do you have Pace-Setter exhaust AND Hooker turbo style max mufflers?

2) Why do you have Eibach Prokit lowering springs AND edelbrock coil-over springs?

3) Why do your 20inch rims look like 18s?

4) Why does your turbo look like a SUPERCHARGER?

thanks!
