Keep the SC!!!

If you don't like the interior of the MKIII then you won't fully enjoy the car. Then whats the point?

Why downgrade yourself? The SC is far more superior than the MKIII..I've owned one (NA) in the past and let me tell you, it was horrible at cornering to say the least..It was also a bit on the heavy side with horrible weight disturbution..Otherwise, like anyother Toyota, it was extremely durable and reliable at times, even with 190k miles on the OD..

Why go for a bike? You cannot hold passengers or things that you might want to bring along with you and it is not REALLY a source of transportation...Safety is the upmost concern for bikes because it is EXTREMELY dangerous at times...Unless you want to take public transportation 99% of the time, a bike is not a smart choice...

The SC400 suits you well, trust me...I have ponder many countless hours about selling my SC400, but in the end, I just love it too much...Teres not a car in this world, when price and durability is concerned, that can beat the SC400..

Why downgrade to an mk3? And with the bike, they are dangerous- I was broadsided by a trailblazer on my 98 gixxer 600 back in Nov. 2001. That didn't knock me off, but it did send me into the rear quarterpanel of a parked civic. Then, I flipped the bars and rolled down the roof and hood of the civic, finally landing on the ground.
And that was just at speed of 15mph on a 1 way road leaving the parking lot.
I love bikes, but I don't know if I'll ever ride on the street again, I may stick to racing only.

I have owned both an MKIII Supra and an SC and it depends on what you like. The MK3 is alot easier to make fast but the SC is alot more refined & realiable.

snamen: I would offer to sale it to you, however I am in Canada and it might be too much of a PITA for a sale to go through, currently I am asking $21,000 Canadian, which might seem high to some people in the states? I have no idea what they are worth down there, but thats about how much they are worth up here. Well a bit less but since I have done some things to it I am hoping to recoupe a bit of the money 'invested' (The black hole investment)

Thanks for the input, I know MKIII is downgrading, they are ... ok... I wanted to free up some money for a later date.... someone has offered a trade for a 90' 300zx TT, I don't know I have to talk to this guy further, seems like an alright plan... if he is wanting what I want... but then again it sort of defeats the purpose of me getting rid of this car. What do you think?

Sounds like a lopsided trade unless the 300ZX has less than 70K and is in perfect condition. If you are thinking about a ZX, try to stay between the years of 1992-1995. They are however, incredible automobiles if taken care of from day one. I sure miss mine.
