yeah, there is no issue with it if you don't mind going a few (decade) years older and a few more miles.

You'll have a hard time finding a decent shape GN for $7k....----, you can't even find a really nice T-type for that kinda price unless you're extremely lucky or don't mind putting some work into a car. I look at these cars constantly.

You can find alot of these cars at that price that are in good shape. I gave $6500 for a 93 LX 5.0 about 4 years ago...car had roughly 80k miles and was coming off a recent restoration. It was a nice car, and I enjoyed tha hell out of it. Everybody should at least own one.

I was talking about getting an IS300 over with my wife. She is on board when the boy is out of daycare. The only issue would be I couldn't resist the urge to turbo it. Then I would be on the phone with JD more often than not about the FIC and he would hate me!

Re: Need to buy a car. What should I get?
 
I talk you through setting up an FIC on an is300 one time, and you are set.

I'm supposed to tune an '01 the end of this week or the beginning of next week, whenever the paint is done. I really like those cars. I can't say that enough. I drive a lot of newer ---- and really I can't say I'm affected by it at all and don't see the point in buying new(er)... with the exception of the is300. I just really like them.
