Name: Jay Hardin
Contact: email or iMessage [email protected] or PM.
Location: Memphis, TN 38134
Title? Clean, no lien, in hand.
Price: $12,000 with wheels. $11,000 without.
Miles: ~130k on body, ~60k motor and trans

Do NOT contact me if you aren't serious. I'm sick of wasting my time with you flakes and e-tirekickers. Seriously. Nothing makes me more mad where I'm willing to work with someone to have them say "Oh, I won't have the money 'til June 2020" or some other nonsense. If you're not interested, have the decency to tell me so because if you contact me and someone else does, I will lean towards more who contacted me first and wind up losing a sale on you fucks.

I'm willing to take offers on the price, keep it reasonable though. Please, don't hit me with "blue book value" or "my homie will sell me his for this much though". Save yourself the embarrassment.

Up for sale is my Lexus IS300, it's an 01 and fairly clean! It's got a VVTi 1jz-GTE swap with an R154 transmission that feels great! Car's a head turner no matter where I go but is by no means "canibeat" or "hellaflush" status. I'm willing to send more pictures, I'll upload a few more as well. Trades? Welcome. Although I must say, I'm kinda picky on what I'd want. But I'm open as well, the worst I can say is no. Mainly looking for an FD3S RX-7 or a super clean Kouki S14. But as I said, I'm open to about anything. Just please, keep your shit box to yourself. (I'm open to salvage titles too depending on the severity)

Engine

1JZ-GTE VVTi swap, I'm told about 60-70k on it. Pulls like a champ. DOESN'T burn oil.
Fresh gaskets ALL OEM. - including the intake cam seal that you can only get in japan (seriously, look it up.)
Oil changed with OEM MKIV Supra TT filter every 2500 miles.
R154 Transmission, close to about the same milage. New clutch! No grinds, pop outs, jank shit.
FMIC w/ custom piping
3 inch custom turbo back exhaust leading to a Borla muffler.
Aeromotive Return-style fuel system w/ regulator
Walbro 255
Within the last 100 miles I've replaced the ENTIRE igniton system (Coils, plugs, leads, ignitor) with new OEM Toyota items.
LSD
A/C that'll make the girls nipples in the next car over hard, and heat that'll have the guy in the lifted truck behind you nose bleed lol.
I'm also including a Power FC and Commander w/ the car and a manuel boost controller.

Exterior

Graphite Grey Pearl! Light scratches here and there, but it's super clean for a 12 year old car that's not been painted.
Amuse Style lip. Tried to find the real one, no go. (not installed in the pictures)
JDM "Altezza" Window Visors and Tail Lights.

Interior

Kenwood double din DVD/CD with bluetooth streaming, Pandora, iPod. - Ran me 600, has warranty will include receipt.
Cloth interior - pretty light and rare for IS's I'm told.
NRG quick release and hub with Key's racing wheel (I will most likely keep my wheel unless you want and will pay, otherwise you'll get a sweet grip royal leather :mepoke:)
EVERYTHING WORKS! Exxxxcept the horn. Had to remove for the FMIC. But who needs horns when you have boost?!
Power windows, locks, sunroof, etc
Car was built to be a fun street car that you can still take anywhere without feeling like it's a race car. It is just that.

Suspension & Wheels

Stance Super Sport coilovers with less than 1000 miles on them! Not slammed, ride great. You literally have about 2 inches of thread on the coils left to lower.
Fresh Alignment from Firestone - lifetime shit :D
Eibach front and rear sway bars
I also have some sort of strut tower bar, not installed but you can take it with you.

Rays Sebring Wheels (Rare based JDM)
17x8 (205/40) Rotella tires, brand new!
17x9 (215/40) Rotella tires, those are brand new too.
Powdercoated Championship white faces with Gold hardware!


Bad?
Like I said, a few light scratches. NOTHING out of the ordinary for a 12 year old car that's daily'd. Typical rock chips on hood.
Front bumper tabs are broken, typical for a IS300. I was going to replace but local place screwed me. Still on the lookout so I will include a freshly painted one.

Thanks!

Yes, it was! Sadly, I don't think I made it haha. I'll be back next month with more on the car and much better pictures.

Engine bay pic added with DSLR picture! Been getting half ass offers, as well as some good ones. NO, I won't take 9k for the car. It's hard enough to find a stock one that's fairly clean and manuel for 8. Let alone with cloth interior.

I'm pretty sure that Key's wheels are made somewhere in Europe (maybe Italy), maybe I'm wrong though.

No thanks, I love R6's. I almost got one before I even had a car back in high school. I just have a few friends who's lost lives on one and they scare the shit out of me now.

Thanks so much! Been getting some great offers, but please, don't be this guy.

This is insulting, to say the least. I completely understand the fact that you'll never get what you have in a car back. This car is priced at that level too. No matter your level of "hookup's" you can not, for the most part, replicate this build for 8-9k in ANY way. I still see STOCK IS300's with more miles and the shitty W58 tranny sell for more at stealerships.

Sorry, no longer looking for trades. A deal has come up that I possibly may lose out on because of the amount of flakes around here. I need this gone TODAY! Someone come take it from me so I can buy a V wagon!!

THANK YOU! I'm glad someone realizes, especially when there's a car on this forum for sale that's not swapped, turbo'd, weaker tranny, and on replica wheels for the same damn price. :mad:

No offense to the other guy selling his IS.
