Default WTT: 97' ORIGINIAL 5 SPEED SC300 for GS or IS

Let me first start off with saying this. I am not 100% sure I want to do this. I am really kinda getting a feeler. I love my car with all of my heart, but I need something a little more practical. Do not think I am going to let this car go for cheap. I will explain why below.
A little about the car:
1997 SC300 5 speed ONLY 120 MADE EVER! I have seen 4 that are salvage now.
Vin number is #1
THIS IS NOT A 5 SPEED SWAPPED SC!!!!!!!!

Exterior: 9/10
Paint is flawless (no fading or anything like that)
Rock chips (most) have been filled in with Lexus paint
Few door dings (nothing huge)
The car shines amazingly when in the sunlight
Full detail including clay bar, buff and wax, wash

Interior:8/10
No rips or tears in seats at all
Leather on shifter is starting to peel
NEVER smoked in
Drivers side trim on door pannel is cracked (common problem)

Engine and Drivetrain, performance parts:
Enigine-9/10 I dont really know of anything that needs to be done other than the timing belt needs replacing in 20K
Transmission-9/10 Shifts perfect. Nothing wrong at all. I dont know when the clutch was last replaced (thats why its 9) but I know it isnt slipping or making and noise or smells
Brakes- BRAND NEW cross drilled and slotted rotors and pads
Exhaust- HKS Carbon-Ti no cats
CEL because of no cats (from what I heard it can be taken off by plugging the O2 senor or something like that and will still pass emitions)
Wheels and Tires - Yes they were spray painted...sorry haha. Brand new (like I bought them this week) front tires to match the back which are still a good 8/10. Bought them not too long ago.
Tint- Limo tint all around except front glass (this includes sun roof) Front glass is 35%
I have ALWAYS changed the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic. Always at 3,000 miles. Just changed about 1,000 ago.
Mileage: 185K

What im looking for:
I know what my car is worth. More than KBB, thats for sure. Its a rare car, and I have seen many go for 10K+ with more miles and not even near the condition mine is in.
I REALLY want a higher mileage GS430. Thats what im looking for honestly. I will entertain other offers, but I think I want a GS430. Let me know what you have and I will see. Also considering IS300 too.

This is a Trade, no price needed.

I know its not in your list of cars wanted, but I'm almost tempted to offer you my pearl white '99 sc400. I've always figured the ONLY thing I'd trade my '99 for is a '97 5spd, and now that I might have the chance I'm torn! haha..
Please tell me you DONT want mine as a trade, and put my mind at rest!

Lol, I'm not really looking to get another SC right now. I'll just stick with the One I have. But thanks for the offer!
Asking price is 20,000 and no I'm not being real but that's what it is.

And thanks for the compliment man'
