dont know what to get. help me

So im in the market for a new car. Preferably a rwd sedan.

Even though i want to "VIP" a car, i realize it isn't cheap, and my budget isnt huge.
So to start off i want a car that even when purchased is

- around $10k-$15k
- good reliable dailydriver
- has potential but can live without it. (i.e. i'll be able to enjoy the car even if its unmodified)
- below 80,000 miles i.e. (car in very good or great condition)

considered so far....
99-00 infiniti q45
97+ Lexus LS400

to add... ill probably just lower the car with coilovers and invest in some quality wheels as the first modes.
those VIP bodykits are way out of my reach for now.
any opionions ...

2005+ M35/45 is one of my favorite cars. My friends M45 has everything im looking for except its way out of my price range. The 2004 m45 is same story.

Are you just looking at the newer cars?

Cuz with a budget of 10-15k you can have a nicely done older LS or Q.

Re: dont know what to get. help me

is it safe to say it depends? 1) what do you like the most 2) if you want other people to decide for you than what car do you see less of in your area and do that. so you could be different.

Re: dont know what to get. help me

Ahh dudes lets stay on point here he wants to do vip lets give him vip car choices. i dont we like to do different things but offering a non vip car and then offering a car that takes work to vipstyle is not the route. Heres the route id take and less traveled go with a second gen ls400 95+ slam it get some dished eurolines or something of that nature then work on getting the stance on point then a kit after if you choose. That my friend should be your starting point then the ice and the wing and lights all that extra stuf. Listen you wont go wrong.
