Okay /o/,
I'm trying to decide between a beater '96-'98 XJ or Lexus SC400 to progressively fix up to a very capable DD. The XJs seem cheaper overall, I like the Americana of it, storage space is nice. The SC has the comfort, V8, looks (IMO).
American I6 bulletproof moddable SUV or Japanese V8 bulletproof luxury bubble coupe also moddable?

I have a 95 XJ. I used to own a Soarer with a 1JZ.
The Soarer was a great car to drive but the XJ offers me a lot of utility and stands out a lot here as there aren't many of them.
I would choose the Soarer if you're doing a lot of distance, but the XJ if you have dogs or a trailer. Ideally get both.

Why 96-98 XJ? The 99 is better than the 97-98 and the 94-95 are better than the 96.

Both is the goal! But for the interim the one which would be the better daily will probably win for me. Did you notice any reliability difference between the two? I'm in a big southern city but also do a good amount of traveling down older country roads.

Aren't the '99-'01 notorious for head gasket issues or do I have the years wrong? I started with '96 because of the redesign
