Would a manual swap be worth it on a budget build?

Question

I'm considering getting a lexus GS, SC, LS 300/400 I'd like to have one manual swapped but its a pretty expensive modification. Should I just work with the Automatic transmission.

A manual would be a dream in those but I hate to think of the cost to do it.

With any car - Lexus/Toyota, GM, Honda - a modification to the original build reduces the “desirability” of the vehicle in the open market. That stated, you do this based on your desire and hope for drivability. Keep in mind, the car is only worth what insurance will pay if you wreck it.

This guy documented his LS 400 swap. https://youtu.be/hcsIIvcv1C0

Have fun and enjoy.
