Wrd,
Q45 builds are popping up everywhere on this forum :pat:
It's like taking a girl to the mall and she knows every guy she runs into....straight up loses her value.

-coming from a Y33 owner


pro's for a Q45 is that your definitely find one cheaper then a LS400 so more money to fund your build.
GL with your choice and future build though

LS are easier to build in my opinion but Q45 have better option for wheel fitment.

Its the opposite here in hawaii. LS's are more popular here than q45's. So idk depending on your likings, both cars are great!

How much you get the LS for? Cousin on the market for a q45 or ls400 too..

We checked out 5 or 6 different q45s. Pretty hard to find low miles and nice body..

I have owned a q45 and now two ls400s. Personally, I think the q has a cleaner looking interior and outside body has a newer look than the ls. But yea... Q45 are just too common, not many build 2nd gen ls400s. And because they are more boxy, they do have that gangster mafia aura about them. Can't wait to see what you do with your new ride!

Haha. I'd have to agree, which is why I promote people to buy LS's instead so I don't have to keep seeing other Q's. Yup I'm hating. ^_^
