Default Decision time

Hey guys i am having a hard time deciding what to do want to do.I would like your input.I am trying to decide if I should keep my lexus sc300 or sell it and buy and supra-It is been hard trying to decide.I like having the sc300 because its not something you see alot of with high horsepower. With supra's it's kind of expected and the resale value of the supra is high the sc300 with mods dont really sell for good moeny from what I have seen. I have already sold the engine,turbo kit,ecu,wheels,ect. a member on cl has bought motor setup already-wheels I sold.so now its decision time-
appreciate the input
Adam
Here are a few pics of what it looked like before i started taking things apart

Damn it was looking good too, I see more potential out of it.. But you already sold the motor and other stuff so really comes down to whats more eye friendly for ya. Ive been debating the same thing and decided to stick with the SC IDK I just love em

^ if it's a MKIV with a traceable history and a good CARFAX, get it if you want. Otherwise stay away!

I'd keep the SC. But it all depends on what you want to do. If you're getting older and want something more refined, a supra is NOT the way to go.

Are you looking to buy it for the looks or some type of racing?

I'd keep the SC. As much as I love the MK4 Supra, the SC imo is in a class of its own with the perfect balance of luxury and sport.

Its probably too late because you sold a lot of the big stuff but did you consider buying an NA Mk4 then swapping all from SC to Supra? I understand the resale thing with the SC. Supra resale is like the real estate bubble. Amazing how much they keep their value.

A lot of the guys who go as far as you did just end up keeping the SC. I didn't keep any of my OEM parts so it would be hard to part out and go back to stock.

This post is kind of weak. As everyone has stated it looks like you've started the part out. The post should have been: Does anyone know a good TT Supra for sale? In which someone would have said "Man there is a clean over priced one on Supra forums". But anyway, you may as well keep parting it and find a supra.

With that said, dibs on the tales And the best of luck to you. Your SC would have been really nice with better wheels.
