Default Which car is favorite between 1st generation GS300/Aristo & SC300/400?

I`m a owner of a 1995 GS300 Touring w/129k original miles great, interior and body looking to sell in a few weeks. I was just curious to find out which is the preferred car, after looking up some Craigslist ads for pricing comparisons. Also whats a good price to sell for in Jacksonville

Their both really good cars. Im not really a fan of Coupes. That why i have a 95 GS300 Touring. You can sell it anywhere from 22k-28k i believe.

22k-28k??? Mabey 10 years Ago...

If you really want to sell it put it up for 4500 and start from there. Any more and it will never sell. I bought my 95 with 150k miles for 3500 from a dealer in 2008.

I own both the GS and SC. As much as I enjoy the GS, the SC is just a little more fun to play around in.

Thanks for all the input guys,this body is a classic to me.I remember being a 23yrs merchant seaman in Norfolk,VA cruising the Virginia Beach playing Biggie Smalls "Big Poppa. Which he made mentioned,"I got the GS3 and chronic by the tree".Youngsters let me tell you, If Lexus put out a car today that had the same impact as this car did. They would probably offer a F model, for f!@#ing .It would consist of a trunk full of Viagra,condoms,hotel discounts,and excuses. Even the fat boys that owned this car were getting laid. LOL! My glory days..WOW!!

Sc is the daily GS is the "fast" car. GS is fun to be a sleeper in, the GS is fun to look good.

hehe, mine is the opposite. Kept the GS passenger friendly and let the SC be the obnoxious one.

always loved the 1GS, but i got myself an 1SC. If I could, I'd own both, and pick up a GS as a project

I really like the lines of the GS and the fact that they aren't seen often in my area make it an instant favorite for me. On the other hand, I would love to get my hands on a low mileage 99 SC400 and make that my weekend car.
