I have 2 cars. My DD is a 2009 Lexus GS. I love it. It is rock solid and low miles and 100% paid for. The only problem with it is that my other car is a 1978 Toyota FJ40. It's the best toy I've ever had. I learned to drive manual on it just 5 months ago when I bought it and now I suddenly find myself searching for a reliable, fun, manual DD to replace the GS. I am just bored driving automatic and completely in love with manual. I have 2 young kids so I need a decent backseat. I am not a speed freak, I don't need a rocket ship but I am looking for a fun, exciting driver. I don't commute much. I am totally spoiled by the reliability of the Lexus and all my free time is now spent on the FJ40 so I have no tolerance for anything that is going to need work. I can get somewhere from $18000 - 20,000 for the GS so my budget is about $25k for a replacement. It certainly does not have to be new.
So far the best candidate seems to be older Lexus IS300s. What are your suggestions?
Thanks!
