Default Sell SC400 for SC300?

Just wanted some peoples opinions, I have a 93' SC400 and live in Canada. First thing Canada doesn't have any SC300's... so if I wanted one I would have to get one from the States and probably no further than Washington State, do you think its worth it for me to sell mine and buy a SC300 down there? I notice they are pretty cheap in US, anyone in Washington know the market price of a 95-96 SC300 5spd?

Thanks

Albert

why ?
turbo's maybe other than that and the 5 speed I can't see why.
Keep the 400 man the pros outweigh the cons unless you're boosting ( that pro is bigger than most cons combined )

i agree w/ hotboy. f you wanted to do the swap or turbo the SC3, then id say go for it. otherwise keep the SC4.

the v8 has even more potential if someone will actually do it.

The SC300 is rarer (or non-existant) in canada, and he wants to have a one of a kind car over there. Or maybe he wants a 5-speed.

I agree Nothing like the rumble of a V8, and the 1UZ is fine engine. There is a forum devoted to tuning the Lexus V8, I think it's called Lextreme.

Now that is Funny!

I got a sc400, my buddy got an sc3 5spd both same color. We re both cruise in our cars. I am kicking back eating peanuts and drinking my ice tea. While he gota stay busy cause hes shifting all the freaking time.

personally, I agree with all the guys. SC3 only if your boosting and actually do it. otherwise leave the luxury ride like it should be v8 power with automatic so you can kick back.

True to each his own. IMO a luxury sport coupe should be riding in comfort and style. and no shift work.
