Hello to this!:






IS300 5-speed w/ Exhaust, Intake, and Tein H-tech Springs

http://www.cardomain.com/id/danman1464

I was gonna get this Red 1997 6-sp Supra TT, but my job requires me to have a luxury car (Loan Officer) so I just bought the IS300 and am gonna buy the Supra next year as a weekend car or something.

I do miss the CL, but unfortunately I didn't want any transmission problems, so I sold it.

haha yeah I already am thinkin about the SRT stage 2.5 kit....most common / reliable kit used on www.is300.net

With this job I have, I can afford that easily soon. I'm hoping that I can find a shop to do it all -_-

Either I turbo or S/C....just thinkin S/C cuz of the easier maintenance and full range boost

Nice, I dont care what anyone else says, I really like the IS300. I wish the SportCross model came in the 5 speed.

IS300s are a nice car, and Lexus service CANNOT be beaten. One question, why the boring silver?

well ill answer questions:

I got it for $23,350 @ infiniti of kirkland dealership. They were showing me 6-sp Coupes when I was there but i didn't get to drive one

it has 40k miles

I got silver cuz there were no other IS300's in the area that were 5-speed -_- and I couldn't afford a new one.

Yes it does drive like a dream

Should have opted for the g35 coupe. The IS is hot, but IMO the GS seems classier and the g35 just has them both beat. Looks better, performs better but it only has 2 doors....

They aren't altezza style........it's the originator! After all, you're really looking at a Toyota Altezza

well the thing is i paid full cash at the dealer, no loans nothing.

I didn't have enough cash on hand to get the G35, and they didn't have any in stock for sale....HUGE wait list.

I'm only 18 and I bought my own car with my own money....so I mean it's a good car for someone who is buying their first!!
