Default HUGE question just brought up...

*Sorry for akng two new threads tonight but this one needs to be brought up.

So as ive said, Im a pretty young man whos been looking for that starter stang.

So this weekend im looking around and get to test drive a nice black/black 1,000 mile 207 GT going for $23,000.

Today I get home rom work and my dad's out of town until later and I call him up to ask where he puts the keys to his lexus SC, electric hardtop, 60,000 mles. I drive to his place and take it for (the first time) spin. It's pushing 288 horses untuned and rides smoothly (any SC owners t there?)

So anyway, it's a good 60-70,000$ car and I really had alot of fun with it.

I want to thanhim for letting me tk it out and so I ask him out to dinner. There we talk about the Mustang and whtnot and he brings up the question- "Ill sell you my Lexus for $19,000 if you want it."

It's been an 'Ill think about it' but I think im oing crazy. The choice should be an easy one. Lexus SC for 19k or Mstang GT 23k.

But I just really have been long for a way to start modding a car for myself an Ive grown attached to the Mustang vibe.

No idea what I want to do now but I need a smack of reality or at least an opinion.

Thanks!

Go mustang defidently...pretty much everyone here is going to be biased enough to say that lol. What you have to ask yourself though is what your plans are for the car and what you want the car to be to you and do for you.

The Lexus is an older persons car. People will always think you are driving your fathers car.......and .....well.......you would be.

Mustang FTW!!

Well, 4 grand is 4 grand, but the lexus is a lot older, and you'll probably have a LOT more fun with the Mustang (modding, how it feels to drive, etc etc).
