no time. =/ there are made to be driven!

[jumpman2334]

bump for my terrible grammar in post #3.

[jumpman2334]

still a little surprised a zilvian hasnt roasted me for asking 12k for an IS300 yet bump. may be interested in trading for a 4wd yota w/ a clean title + cash on your end.

also added some suspension shots to the OP. its a shame you dont get to see any of it when driving.

I couldn't sell my IS with neo2 bumper, vskf, full interior and coils for 8k. Good luck.

the resale market for IS300s is all over the place. im willing to bet yours wasnt a factory manual sportdesign with the ash grey interior (let alone all the other shit i have done to it). how many miles did yours have?

theres a stock one of these with 56k miles in WA and the owner is asking 14k and it doesnt have the ash grey interior. doesnt mean he will get it, but ive seen some IS buyers specifically look for l-tuned and sportdesign trims. im willing to work with a potential buyer on price, but this isnt your average run of the mill IS300.

edit: a single seat, steering wheel, and a double din is not a 'full interior'....

[FaLKoN240]

In Norcal an interior that isn't stripped is full interior to me lol

Mine had 170k on it, a ton in mods and replacement shit...

My point is most of the people into the IS are looking for a cheap one that's 5 speed and just want to drive it around. They're not like s chassis owners that will spend a ton on mods. Mostly because the base car isn't cheap or easy to find. The used parts market sucks too.

[jumpman2334]

lol. good point.

[jumpman2334]

bump.

no, i will not take 8.5k for this. dont waste my time.

[jumpman2334]

bumpppppppp.

[[240sx]]

Holy shit, an is300 advertised as a manual with THREE pedals!! Tha fuck is wrong with '300 owners marking their F.S ads as Manual trans, only to see a pic of a G*d damn AT gear selector! They dumb as shit or do they think the 'manual shift' option on their auto is the same? /Rant.

Anyways, this is the cleanest '300 in the CA market currently. GLWS.

beautiful car, glws

[jumpman2334]

thanks you two. i drove it this weekend locally a little bit. still a blast for how low she is.

i think the e-shift/auto people want to think they are included with the manual crowd because they have these magical buttons on their steering wheel that tell the auto trans what to do. ive never been in one, but i have been in a car with a similar system. its definitely not the same, i will always prefer three pedals to two.

You'd probably have a better chance selling this with stock suspension and wheels

[jumpman2334]

probably, but i cant put the stock wheels back on due to the arp studs and the stock lug nut design. im also willing to sell without wheels. i can wait. im not in any rush to sell this thing.

20 Lug Nuts Mag 12mmx1.5 Chrome Open End 13/16" Hex With Washer For Factory Toyota Alloy Wheels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009SDA7G2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Fw.9CbNFPFK8Q

[jumpman2334]

i didnt know those existed. cool.

with that being said, i absolutely hate the design the stock lugs utilize to fasten the wheel to the car. i do not miss the stock wheels. they were heavy as hell too.

[spooled240]

Yeah they are heavy, but they do look nice for a factory wheel, especially in the graphite colors.

Mine were curbed to hell with mismatched tires so I recently swapped them out for 18x8 +38 with 225/40's all around and they were each 0.6 lbs heavier than the original 17x7 215/45's.

thank you. they are fantastic cars and mine has always treated me well. its hard to leave these things stock. my.is isnt as trafficked as here, but it still a great resource, i enourage you to check it out if you havent already done so.

[shn33b]

bump, very cool car with all the annoying work already done to it!

[jumpman2334]

alright folks. the one and only price drop (see top of original post). i really need to free up garage space. if this doesnt sell, it will go into storage somewhere else and continue not to be driven.

thank you.

[dizzariot]

I love how your 'issues' aren't really issues, but they'd be issues to me as well lol.

Bump for an OCD seller.
