Scotty,

I don't even know what this model is. If I were him and wanted a Lexus, I'd prob go sc340. If that's too much, maybe a Boxster (or preferably Boxster S).

If you're going to spend your money on a Porsche, at least get a Carerra.

Am I the only one who thinks this car is really gay? I mean, for 40K you could get a pretty sic

-Unreal classic car (GTO, cuda, trans am etc. with like 400 horses and an insane after market stereo)

and your going for a 4 cylinder mid size sports sedan? What?

No, Im with you. Although the cars you listed arent real cool either, mustangs/chargers etc. I like the SUV/Classic Car option though. Or do get a couple cars, thats what I decided on. I have a jeep wrangler for the summer/off-roading, a superbee Im restoring (although you can probably find one in decent condidtion). Mine is going to be similar to this. and a Deville for everyday use. If you are doing it for the chick factor you are definetly going to pull more tail driving a classic, than your suped up toyota:

You're not the only one. 90% of the Baylor girls think so too.

TWC,

I just looked up the is250. Whoa. Bad choice! I don't think it looks impressive at all.

Spend that money (maybe a little more than you planned) and pick up a sweet flashy car that will really turn heads!

Your dad is right. You can get a sweet car for less than 40k that will still pull some tail, and invest the rest.

for a 19 yr old to buy a full lexus with poker money, it is very, very expensive and pretty dumb for the vast majority of people. instead of ivesting the money you will put it in an asset which will depreciate and cost a lot of $$$ to maintain, through insurance and repairs (even if you get a better made car like a lexus compared to some of the more unreliable ones, its still a lot of dough)
