You guys bring up a good point with the wrx. For image, the car isn't exactly realtor-ish. I think I'm trying to compromise and may regret it. It just hurts my heart to go from "nothing can mess with me on the road" to " why can't my car make it up the hill".
I'd like to think, especially in Austin, you don't get judged for your car. The few sales I've had so far haven't been affected by the Z. If anything it's a conversatoin starter. In LA nobody cared, it was just another cool car, but here I have people stopping me to talk and compliment me pretty often. Cops love staring at me as we pass too  |
I agree with Chuck, you probably won't get 30, mayyyyybe because it's a 13, but I still kinda doubt it.
I don't know which LA you're talking about. But my friends are realtors out here in Los Angeles, and car makes a huge difference. It shows that you can sell a million dollar home. Or have sold 50, million dollar homes. I asked my parents if they'd buy a house from someone with a Z, they said its unprofessional. Ask me how much the house costs or what the realtor drives, lol
I really think you should buy a second car. Spend $20k and buy a 2008 LS460L, it'll run forever, and if you ever actually drive anyone around, holy shít they'll love you for it. May not seem like it, but it's almost as fast as a Z stock in the 1/4 mile, it's just 3 FEET longer than the Z... And you'll know it.
Or get an ISF. (Buy all your Lexus parts from Rock Auto)
