Well, it looks like I'm picking up an 01 Lexus IS300 tomorrow, thoughts?
Well the TA and are are parting ways at the beginning of August. So I began looking for a replacement car, I first thought another fbody. But I think I'm over the fbody phase. I've always liked IS300s, so I started looking. I looked at a couple, but they weren't very clean. I found one, in which I talked down to $7100. It has 103k but supposedly the guy has taken care of it. The timing belt has been changed. The only issue I have, is the color. I've been on a few Lexus forums and it seems as though its a pretty rare color. But I'm still a little hesitant. What are your opinions?

I have always liked the IS300's ... I think the color will grow on you too. Not bad at all .... but the real question is why are you getting rid of the fbody? Ive always liked your T/A!!

Love my IS300. Matts build is definitely unique and he's currently making a LS1 swap kit. Motors are pretty much bullet proof, car drives great (uses the Supra Frame), comfort is great for road, I could on and on about this car. Just take your time to find a nice or check out the myis forum.

Also, the guy backed out at about 10pm last night. I'm ok though, that orange would have been tough to live with.
