Default Should I trade my 430 for an NSX????

Hey guys, just wanted to get club lexus' opinion. Should I trade my 01 GS430 for a 97 NSX? I always wanted one and I'm seriously considering it. Should I do it???
Thanks in advance.

always wanted to have an nsx...but to me, an nsx, would be a secondary car, something that i would buy when i have extra $$$. gs430 is a blend of comfort/performnace/daily driver, so i would not trade for the nsx.

good point.

97+ NSXs are great but it's not anything that can replace a GS. If you have another SUV or something then yah go ahead and trade.

If you get the NSX as a daily driver I would think twice about it. Think about what you are giving up.

If the "97" part doesn't bother you...by all means trade......

The 97 has T top, the biggger engine, nicer wheels...buetiful car.....

PLUS, the NSX is a daily driver....Honda reliablity...... this car is perfect minus two seats and a "made in germany" stamp

minus two seats doesn't quite link up with DAILY DRIVER.

And NSX is made in Germany?!?

I don't really like the NSX. To me its an overpriced sports car. For that kind of money, there are much better ones.

NSX......Germany?!?!!?! Since when? NSX's are Acura's. Which is the luxury dept of Honda. Same as Lexus and Toyota. NSX's are japanese cars. A lil FYI, in Japan they are Honda NSX's :eek:

NO I said the NSX would be the perfect daily driver if it had two more seats and was made in Germany.
