PROBLEM! Keep GS3 or buy f50

So i've got a problem.
 
I can either sell my 2000 GS300 which already has Tanabe Hyper Medallion Exhaust and Tanabe Sustec Coilovers waiting to be installed, or i could buy a 2002 F50. what should i do? I'm kinda at a loss for a decision.

How does a 2002 f50 look like?

Keep the GS3

My bro has one for sale 2002 f50 .. Silver ... in the sale thread 


Since  there are alot of Gs' running around ..

buy the F50 from pxlex. hella clean still. But yeah... ever since i bought my y33, i've counted 28 of the same chasis since i've owned that car (about 8 months). I bet i'd get a lower number if i was going for an f50, and at least quadruple that number if i was counting gs3s.. not that the gs3 is something i wouldnt get, but its always nice to be different from the crowd. Q45s are more rare, since they didnt sell too well when they were new. its ok, makes it easier to find one for a cheaper price. :biggthumpup: $.02 but then again, Lexus holds their value like crazy.

i agree the difference will set you apart. not to many nicely done f50's

new car payments suck...

The F50 is a bigger car and has much more options.

two of my buddies have the y33's and that's one reason i wanna do the f50. i rarely ever see them and if i do they are bone stock. The only thing that is shying me away from snapping and doing the f50 is prices for suspension parts. I can't seem to find anything either. Help on that guys...??

The suspension parts are expensive for this car and you will not find anything used (atleast not in the states).  Now a days, a bunch of JDM companies have coilovers for the F50 but like I said before, they are no cheap.  Good luck

well thanks man. i've got 790 right now cuz thats what i was gonna spend on my gs3 to get some coilovers, which i have noticed is a huge price difference with parts with the f50. My buddy with the y33 told me i probably won't find coilovers for under 1500 and that kinda makes me cringe...
 
where can i find em just to price?

lol, 750 will buy you 1.5 coilovers i think you need to save up some more.. good luck this is an expensive hobby

F50 coilovers start at over $2000.  If you do find a set for under that, they usually charge a core fee and they want your stock parts in return (shipping to Japan is expensive)
 
Ask some of the vendors on this forum to help you out.  They can get you just about anything you need.

dude ^^^ i know this is expensive. I'm just not as familiar with the f50 as I am the GS3. I was gonna get tanabe sustec coilovers for the gs3 which are 789 shipped. and i know shit for the f50 will be expensive but dayum...

Well This scene is a pocket hurter ! 
 
I have over 7800 in my suspension .. soo anything under is better than what I have  forked out .. ;\

man i got low down spring for $800 with shipping from japan , coilovers are nice , back in teh days i had a full flex damper kit from tein and i loved there products , in 2006 sema i was in their booth with a good friend i mine named sergio that he works for tein , thene i meet up with taylor tanaka from tanabe and the guys from jic , and the prices where really crazy on their set up , f50 like widebody said are expensive to mod , but they look damm nice when fix the right way i am not even close done with mine anyways good luck with your project man.
