GS350, M3, M5, E63, Escalade, corvette,911 and if none of these than just swap in a newer engine and call it a day if the higer mileage bothers u that much

Unless I could afford an F12 Berlinetta, I'd look for a 98-00 SC400, G35, 1964 Eldorado, M5, SLK, Jag s-type or a bicycle.

I'd choose an SUV, like Sequoia, LX, Suburban, Escalade, and maybe even a tundra.

The LS430 is in my opinion the best car out there, 300hp and that UZ reliability, with options and luxuries galore, and dont forget a champagne cooler in the back

I have owned a lot of cars, Corvettes, BMW's, Mercedes, Porsche, et al. I have to say the SC400 is a unique car. There are many that are faster, but few that do the all-around job of the original SC.

I replaced mine with an 05 LS430 UL. It's so much nicer than the SC. I don't even like driving my SC as much anymore after having an LS.

There is something unique about the SC that draws me to it though. Once I save up some money, I'll probably find a 97+ SC or a MKIV Supra.

My SC400 is a daily driver so it would probably be a new GS.

Probably cause they're not super reliable and cost more to maintain. Also if you want to go big power you need to spend more dough. But with a few basic mods a 335 or 135 is a rocket.
