So who like project cars!!?
I came on here to ask if anyone has ever traded a nicer stock SC for a more troubled model,
because mine has little stupid problems here and there and i just dont have the time for it anymore.
so i was seeing if anyone has ever experienced it. if you have, let me know the circumstances.

I just got my SC a couple days ago trading my LS400 with a leak from the crank seal. Mechanically this car runs great, my problems with mine are my ac blows but isnt cold, idk how the AC Clutch is supposed to react but mine doesnt spin much. My door panels are destroyed, my window actuators are gone, and it just needs some interior work, it was a rebuilt title from theft in 2002. so they just pulled everything out and stripped it. the only thing that would take me a while is figuring out my AC, my interior problems are just a matter of me finding them and buying them. there arent many SC's in the junkyard here in vegas. And i don't want to spend $200 on new window regulators so im ok using my hands lol.

Actuator isn't too bad, get one cheap off of CL.
Door open light has a switch that every time the door closes, it presses the button so the light turns off. Button is probably just broken.
Cat's are a pain in the butt...but still not too bad...
The door handles aren't that bad. If anything, I'd buy an SC just like that and have it fixed in a couple days.Your schedule is crammed I guess so I understand totally...but just to let you know, you have one of the best most reliable vehicles on the road right now...

I have an idea for you. People on this very thread can tell you what parts to buy. PM "Aliga" (member who sells parts for Sc) to see what he has for you first. Where in Cali are you? Post here and in classifieds for a CL member who knows the repairs, to come over on a saturday and help you. You pay him, and learn how to make those repairs yourself and will never pay for them again.
It will be so much cheaper AND better then a dealership etc.
We see it as doors and a cat.
You can even get the part, then have a budget shop weld the cat if need be.

I've considered trading my SC for a swapped car. I don't have the mechanical skills, money, or knowledge to swap an engine myself. But then again, if I can't swap an engine, then I have no reason in owning a high horsepower turbo car in case something breaks or requires troubleshooting.
I can however follow our stickies really well, and your problems SuperwetSC are very simple and easily found by searching. I've come to realize that no one will help you like club lexus in your time of need.

Come on bro... we just got a 30 day notice and i dont have money to spend on the car right now because now we need to find a house... i know that they are little problems to fix but i have work, school, and nephews to watch. so fixing it or having someone fix it is completely out of the question.
