Question so after i sell the sc300.. what should i get?

i've been debating big time on this.. and cannot make up my mind.. i've been wanting the sc430 for a long time.. but i recently thought about the is250awd since it would be better for the snow.. and im guessing the gas mileage is a little bit better..

what do you guys think? .. the is250awd or the sc430?


OR SHOULD I GET THIS?

well i would say get the ls430 but if you want my opinion on the two youve spoken about the swc430 forsure-----its much faster and it is on a higher scale forsure.

good luck on your decision

Ugh, what's wrong with a 2000 SC400? Lol. That's what i would want. But i say a GS. Best of all the worlds IMO, and look the best IMO as well. =P

I have an IS250AWD...it's severely underpower but if you just looking for a DD/cruiser it's excellent. Handles real well in snow also.

Tough decision but I'd choose the SC430 only because I'm a two door person. But, if I had to choose any 4 door Lexus, I'd seriously choose a 2005+ LS430. They are beyond nice inside if you want a big body car.

IMO the ls430 is the car for any lexus enthusiast to get.

its just the epidemy of luxury, first class all the way.

It actually hurts me to see what they are doing to them though if u visit the ls430 forum---theyre lowering them on airbags-----body kits----just butchering them.

i love the way the is250awd looks... sc430 is so ugly to me.. but this is coming from a person that wishes they had a 4 door car.

my next buy is a yellow is300 whenever i get employed again.

also why do you guy always have to recommend something thats not on the poll?

I think the big difference is if you want a convertible thats 2 seater OR if you want a 5 seater where you can carry your friends.

I would probably get the is250 6spd

I'm thinking of picking up another car as well, need to sell my SC!

I test drove one the other day...Holly **** is that thing weak!!!!! SOOOOOOO underpowered. I think I drove it 1 mile and brought it back.


Sc430 is a car ment for 50yr old women Realtors that still die their hair blond

Nothing wrong with a is350 with a 6-spd.

Honestly...be a baller and buy this
