Set on getting a RR but I need your help solving my garage dilemma!

Lexus would be gone in a heartbeat. I ditched my Bronco Badlands to go to my Raptor. That GT350 will be worth more and be more collectable than the Lexus ever will be

Man, am I glad that you replied to my post.

I love the Shelby but lately with how little I drive the car it’s felt like a waste. But, I just know that if I let it go I would regret it significantly and your post validates that. I could use the money but why sell it just for the heck of it…the only car note would be the RR. I can swing it, at least for now, so it looks like I’ll be replacing the Lexus with the RR and keeping the Shelby.

My work is done here.

(I still have a set of new wheels and tires that never made it onto the Shelby for a track day and I die a little inside every time I walk into the storage unit and see them)

Thanks! I just hope the Shelby treats me well and no unexpected repairs come forth.

I also pray that my RR order gets picked up. It’s been a month and no build date yet…seems like the dealer didn’t have an allocation like they led me to believe…

I would love to have all three but I’m not sure I could manage that financially or if it would be wise.

What makes this so difficult is that I love both the Lexus and the Shelby. And as much as I love the Shelby…I barely drive it…and with a kiddo idk if I’ll drive it any more than I do now. Also was trying to capitalize on its value but it’s just such a special car that idk if I can let it go. Lexus is such a comfortable daily with good performance that it’s also gonna be difficult to see it go. The RR is really messing me up here haha

The Ranger Raptor is the more practical vehicle compared to the Shelby.
The Lexus is boing like my wife's 4RUNNER. Nice long distance hauler but not exciting to drive. Nice balance between practicality and fun having both the Raptor and the Lexus.
The Raptor is fun with a capital F. You won't miss the Shelby. Go for it!! You won't regret it.

I really lucked out in that regard. The dealer had ordered one months before I showed up and short of the graphics package and bedliner, it was pretty much how I would have spec'd it. Offered me decent money for the Shelby and the Colorado, saved me dealing with selling either privately, which I tried to do initially.

I pretty much decided im going to get a Ranger Raptor. I own two vehicles right now and don’t know which one to give up or if they both should go.


Current Garage:
-2019 Shelby GT350
-2023 Lexus IS350

For context:
-My wife and I are expecting a baby soon. She has an SUV.
-Best case scenario I can only keep two, worst case scenario one.
-I value a comfortable daily commuter but I enjoy performance and sporty driving.
-Looking for more utility considering a child is on the way, something for home depot trips, or something to throw bikes into and go for a trip.
-Looking for a perfect blend of performance and utility.

I think I already know what I have to do but I’m looking to see what y’all would do if you were in my shoes. TIA!

your wife has an SUV so I'd trade both the Mustang and IS350 for and ISF might find a nice certified one
