I own a 97 LS 400 COACH edition and i cant explain how much i love this car. but my sister is moving to spain and said she will straight up give me her 2005 acura RSX. its black, clean, and stick. i know lexus makes the greatest cars ever and acura cant compare, but im sick of no one like understanding the beauty of the ls400 and i believe i will have more fun in the acura.
The problem is I cant decide. please give me some unbiased advice

I would keep the RSX and sell the LS. I love my lexus,and the luxury, but spending $75 on fill ups sucks. Also, its quietness has gotten me in quite a bit of trouble (tickets). The RSX will be super reliable and be way more fun to drive. The LS is awesome, but everybody thinks its my parents car.
Honestly though, if you can, just keep both cars, if money dont matter.

You sound young. And with that said, if I were you I would go for the RSX. Have some fun now, might not be able to get away with it later. BUT ONLY, if the RSX is stick, not auto. If its auto, dont even bother, its bad enough its FWD.
As far as keeping the Lexus. Why would you care what other people think about it? Its yours isnt it? If it gives you joy, thats all that matters in life. I always had cars that I liked for their style, not for its popularity or cool factor. And LS has a lot more style, more mysterious factor to it.

Yeah I am not a fan of the RSX especially when compared to my LS (FWD 4 cylinder). I see those guys riding up on my LS revving their engines LOL - I would never trade my LS as it is now for one of those ricers. It is a one of a kind now - Besides, I have a 350z for when I want to race anyway - and it will leave most RSX's behind and it is a stocker except for intake ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
But, if your sister will give you the car free of payments then maybe you should opt for it if you don't want to individualize your LS. Either way it osunds like you have a big decision to make brother.

from a purely financial standpoint, if you're going to have both cars and only keep one, i would definitely sell the RSX. Driving a 2005 Acura you'll be getting mauled on the depreciation with every mile, while with the LS you already know you'll never get what it's worth.
If you're not totally sure you love the Acura and change your mind in a few years you'll have taken a several grand hit. The RSX will lose a lot more value over the next few years than the LS will, and that reason alone would be enough for me to sell while it was still in pristine condition and worth a fair amount.
