Default Want a GX, but get rid of my GS or SC?

So I've been having the itch for a 4x4 lately, the GX470 specifcally. I already have a 99 SC400 and a 02 GS430, doesn't make sense to have 3 vehicles. So I'm on the fence as to which should leave the stable to make room for the GX. The SC is black/black which is very rare, 119k miles, super clean and well maintained. It is my second SC. Will be very hard to find another like it. The GS only has 38k miles and has every option, also super clean and well maintained. Probably will never find one with mileage that low. I don't have any kids yet so a 2dr could still work for a while, but I've only had the GS for a couple of months now.

What would you do?

That's a tough choice, by just reading the title I was going to say get rid of the GS. But after reading what you wrote, I'm not so sure.

I think I'd get rid of the SC.

I'd keep the GS, that's cherry. Plus it's a 430 heck yeah. Never been the biggest SC fan so this is an easy choice for me

I'd keep the more rare and exclusive SC as your 2-door and the GX as your 4-door - best of both worlds. I'm biased though as I have a soft-spot for the Gen 1 SC. Its impact to the luxury GT market in '92 was almost as significant as the LS back in '89.

Keep the SC, you can use the GX to haul people around. You don't see very many SC's around any more, and they're usually pretty beat if you do see one.

Plus from a monetary standpoint, that GS would fetch a few thousand more $$$$. Use it to buy a nicer GX or reduce your loan amount.

I'd keep the SC. You wont be able to find another one i like the one you have if you was to ever want one again. Chances are better with finding another GS,maybe not with low miles, plus they are easier to find.
