Ok guys heres the situation.I have A 98 mitsubishi eclispse GS. Custom lighs fron and back, with exuast and intake mods. It's getting kinda old now and well down right unreliable at times. Im planning to Buy a g35 (coupe) but i still need to save a up a bit more first. So I was looking into other cars in the mean time an found a 2001 Lexus IS300 also with intake and exhuast mods. Now, I had never really looked into sedans(whether it's sports or not) never been a big fan. Wanted to get some opinons on how it will compare to my GS. Like gas milage performance and and such. It's only a temp till I get my g35 becuase I need something to replace my eclipse.The owner is willing to let the IS300 go for just take over of payments so it's 14.4 for it it has 90k miles on it also as a note. So thats pretty much all the details the questions posed are. Whats your opinon of trading up to the IS300, How do you think IS300 compare,and even if you think i should maybe just continue to save up and keep the dying GS till I can afford the g35(which wont be still till like next year). Other car suggestions are welcome also :).

I wouldn't get this car. If it is just a filler car for you until you get something you really like, why waste the money on a Lexus. Buy a Honda Accord or something reliable to hold you over. 14.4 is not a great price either. I sold my 2001 with 60k on it for 19k in 2003.

I probably would spend that on a filler car either. considering you've never really liked sedans, i guess the Evo and STi are out too. Considering your two options, I would definitely pick the G35. Just a suggestion, but why not try to find a Supra. Got enough money for a G35, then you'll have enough for a decently modified Supra. Or get one stock and then modify the snot out of it. Just a thought. Good luck and if you have any money left over, feel free to let me know and i will glady take it off your hands.

The Benz is a supercharged 4-cylinder, the Lexus is a V6. The engine design is simpler in the Lexus, and maintenance costs should be lower than the Benz. But the biggest factor is the salvage title that comes with the Mercedes. NEVER buy a car that has a salvage title! Also, don't worry about the guys, they'll compliment your vehicle choice no matter what you buy! Tinted windows and custom wheels will attract guys who are interested in your money, get some cute new clothes instead!

Get neither and save up a bit more for a BMW 335i coupe.
