Got a new car!

[gripster]

The bad:

My s13 hatch failed smog miserably (a gross polluter) and that was the last straw. didn't want to put any money into it for now and put it back to stock. And NO, its NOT for sale.

The GOOD:

I picked up a certified pre-owned silver 04 Lexus IS300 with manual transmission and i'm loving it.

so you gunna badge it an altezza and remove the lexus name and put toyota?

[gripster]

Yeah, the 240 will get fixed up once i have some extra dough. As for the IS, i don't want to 'de-value' the car by turning it into a 'toyota.' It will, however, get some subtle mods such as CAI, clear front bumper lights, a 'slight' drop and maybe some wheels.

how much $$$?

LOL if this was the case for me I would have had a new car years ago. My s13 hasn't had an up to date sticker for years. I think I have an 03 or something sticker. :bigok: Still drive it everyday.

Anyways nice car! Looks like it's ready for a 2JZ-GTE.

wtf... someone already broke your window? that is some bad luck for a new car.

[projekt_s13]

That pisses me off, damn thieves should burn. Sorry about your window man.

Got the car for a little over $23k . . . got a little help with the down payment from my dad (he matched my $$) . . . still financing quite a bit. I kinda knew the car was going to fail smog . . . so i didn't bother fixing up the car . . . saved my money and got a newer, and problem-free car.

The window was broken into early Tuesday morning (12-26) but had it fixed by that Friday (12-29) . . . bought the glass myself, had a window pro put it in the door . . . would have had to wait a week if insurance co. were to take care of it.
