Yeah, can't go wrong with the SC platform. Prices are low for this luxury sports car (IMO), but only if you don't mind riding in a 15 year old car...
Several on sale around me between $5-8K, some with nice mods too... QUOTE (FreddyTheOthaMeat @ Aug 18, 2008 - 11:48 PM)  Lexus SC300. A cheap luxury car with the non-turbo'd supra engine (also RWD). Could probably get one for about 5-10k easily. they also come in V8's (SC400) --------------------   2002 SC430 (WC) - 19" SSR Comp-H, Daizen swaybars, Sparco Demons, JDM Soarer conversion, carbon fiber spoiler, Injen intake, front strut bar, drilled/slotted Brembo rotors 1997 Celica ST (DD) - 17" ADR, ViS Zyclone CF hood, ViS CF hatch, K&N intake, Invader body kit |

Then again, if you want the auto you should just give'r, they're cheap, abundant and RWD. I'm not too sure how much power the auto can hold but just remember, this is the Supra engine (if you get the SC300) we're talking about. You could hit 500hp easily, 800hp with a bit of money and 1,000hp with a built engine. --------------------  (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.

I wouldn't buy that honda for 9500 either, that's WAY overpriced. Plus can you pass emissions in CA with that anyway? Not to mention you're a student, you're not racing the thing, and there's a few select creature comforts that thing is missing like A/C that if I lived down there I would NOT pass up on. Try explaining to some girl in your car that you like that yeah, baby, it's hotter than hell, but my car is fast once we get off this freeway and out of traffic.

Mine never complains she just enjoys the boost [And tries to be my rally copilot with all the "watch that truck, there's a pothole, slow down blah blah blah..."  That sh*t drives me insane]

Yeah but she's not new to you, you're past the "impress her" stage where that's concerned. Plus IIRC you were looking for something with a/c weren't you?
