Default !!!I have an important question: Nissan SUV Vs. Toyota Soarer!!!

Well here is the situation,
i have a 90 nissan terrano (pathfinder in the states good condition and every thing runs finewhich has a VG30 motor which is the EXACT motor that is in a naturally aspirated nissan fairlady(300ZX).has a 700dollar sound system (infinty sub10" [self powered], blaupunkt 6"x9" 's, bazooka 4"x6" 's jvc headunit)

here is the toyota soarer which is a LEXUS GS???? and it has a 2JZtt SUPRA motor in it but the front bumper has a crack on the bottom lip and the whole driver side has minor (well kinda) damage along the whole side due to 3 owners ago he side swiped a guard rail and caused the fender to crinkle very little and pushed in the back quarter panel a bit causing it to rub the tire when under heavy load (all this is fixable) and it over heats due to dirty cooling system. motor is stock,front fascia, stereo don't work


My question is should i sell the terrano and get this Toyota and fix those minor problems or just keep the nissan ? i can get alot of money for the nissan and i cannot discuss the price of the Toyota :rick: because i would REALLY get it a whole lot cheaper for what it is actually worth. sorry for no pix will have em next week some time :cheers:

I'd go for the Soarer. It's the US Lexy SC400

No contest.
Sell the Terrano (since it will command a high price) and get to work on the Soarer.

Infinitely more refined. Much nicer handling. I'd kill for a 2JZ-GTE powered Soarer.

And it's closer to our SC300 - but you lucky bastards got the turbo motor. The US market only recieved the N/A variant.

I are teh envious. h:

Soarer. I've driven Pathfinders and I don't know how you can deal with it everyday.
