Hey /o/, my parents are thinking of buying me a newer car because

Just tell them Lexus is the same thing as Toyota. If it's an early 2000s model you're not exactly lying.

>>15343428
Lexus is justba Toyota with some fancy bits. Get them to drop the $10k into the corona, brake/suspension upgrade, 3sgte or something. Everyone wins.

A Yaris is perfectly fine. You'd be surprised at the aftermarket support available to them.

>>15343428
Not if you lower and stance it like that, listen up your parents kiddo

Yeah, I told 'em that but I'd like to make em as happy as possible with it being their dosh, looking to see if there's anything else out there that could work better before goin too hard on it.

>>15343490
Hmm, that is surprising. 2ZR-FE not bad then?

>>15343530
I don't have that bad of taste, I'd keep the appearance stock even if I wasn't poor as fuck.

>>15343466
I wish I could just dump the cash into my corona but it's got some accident damage from a rich sandnigger slamming into me. I managed to repair it enough to be DDable but enough to make putting loads of money into it saving her not a good idea with my current economic state. If it wasn't for the damage I wouldn't even consider getting rid of her.

lexus. show them comparisons in terms of reliability. luxury car isnt a bad thing, it means they wont fall apart. theyre built well and it shows. is300 is the ideal car if you dont mind automatic. soarers are also sexy. just do not fucking waste your money on newer lexus'

>>15343490
why yaris over a fit?

We're in the same position but I'm saving up for a 1999 Lexus LS400. Dealer told me to instead finance a 2008 Lexus but fuck that it's way too much

Can get a manual in the US at least, just not a sportcross. Damn shame too cause I've got a fetish for wagons.

Get the is300. Pic related is mine

>>15343428
Same exact situation and I think Lexus is the only way

I'm looking for an ls430 but worst case scenario I'll fall back on an is300 and save the cash. I just want a comfy luxobarge to keep as my DD for the next like 10 years

>A Yaris is perfectly fine.
Only a person who bought a Yaris and is trumping it up would say this. It is a woeful little shitbox

>>15343428
>I'm too poor to buy another one myself if it does sudoku
If your car is solving math problems, you could probably make some money from it.

>hello /o/, my parents are gonna buy me a car and...

typical /o/ post right here gentlemen

Would be more entertaining if the 'rents came on /o/ and asked what they should get their special snowflake.

This.
Swap in a 2zz and your good to go.

>wants to get an IS300 or a fucking civic si
Let them decide what car they want to buy you, it's their money not yours. If they want to get you a soulless shitbox then deal with it you spoiled brat.

>>15343428
>5000-10000 USD (I'm in the US

Your parents are giving you that much money for a car...?

>>15346630
MR2 spyder is actually a pretty damn good car, after you get over the 'cute' appearance of it.

What's strange about that
