LEXUS IS300 Quick 5 min history

[@johnconnor7501]

I got my 05 is300 white manual for $3500 back in 2017 and still driving it! I enjoy driving this car even tho I can now afford any car.

[@dvmedia137]

Absolutely the is300 is still an amazing machine and to this day is classic! I really wanted to pull the trigger the prices are just way too high

[@claydough18]

You gave the 2j specs when you said the i4 but we got the gist.

[@dvmedia137]

Oh thanks for the correction! I definitely need to go back and make an updated version of these older ones! I miss researching and talking about these!

[@profitstags9842]

i want this whip all stock . this probably everyones dream car .

[@dvmedia137]

I'm looking budgets less than 8-10k clean title and lower than 150k. its tough, I don't mind the automatic either.. good taste:)

[@isaiah8532]

Got my 01 is300 for 800 just look around

[@dvmedia137]

@@isaiah8532 what was the situation! That’s a really good situation

[@dvmedia137]

@Polymer Tools I'm so peanut butter and jealous... the prices for is300's here with a stock motor and clean title is insane, oh and less than 200k miles.. commonly find salvage title ones for about 7k or less. or 350k miles body with 150k miles motor.. will find one. by the end of this year this channel will have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd get one that's a promise

[@skippypeanutbutter9136]

got the unicorn in 2012. graphite pearl with black interior, 5 speed manual, LSD. It's no longer stock (impossible to be at this point). Did BC 264 cams, exhaust cam gear, JOE-Z intake, Dezod green headers (i'm sure the cats will need cutting out and replacing), and I intend to do a 304SS custom cat back exhaust with likely a stockish magnaflow muffler. replaced heavy flywheel and clutch with the N/A supra clutch (shaving 25 lbs and saving me $3000). Have koni orange shocks with eibach lowering springs (a mild 1" drop). Still running stock rims. Need to replace a shit ton of suspension bushings. All these mods gave me a dyno of ~220 whp and 218 ft-lbs tq (increase of nearly 40 at the wheels). She's nearly mint inside and out, did have to respray the hood and do a new front bumper when junk fell of some truck on the free way. Currently 165,xxx miles. All this to say: i've been offered $15K sight unseen and passed it up. Nobody who has these things and kept them clean is selling them for honda civic prices. Good luck my dudes.

@@dvmedia137 lol yea trying to buy is annoying but the right deal will come around. Florida has some good prices on GTE swaps, I usually hunt every state.

Wow Very nice movie. I didn't knew that IS300 drive in rally

[@dvmedia137]

Yeah it’s crazy how much history these cars have and barriers I really wish I ended up getting one but made a different move!

[@Qwertyuiop-123]

​@@dvmedia137 Yeah, this car is very good in drivability. I and my brother have two IS200 almost identical cars: 99" year, 1C0 lacquier, sedans, 1g-fe engines, 6-gears manuals gearboxes (it is very rare, because a lot of cars have 4-gears automatic transmissions), same interiors (blue colour, alcantare and leather seats), and very smilar equipment (rich options), but I have version with navigation (but not work, because i have prelift version, so now is not available DVD disc with maps to this monitor) and sunroof, but my brother have premium audio - Mark Levinson, and life would be too beautiful if we had a limited slip differential, so we both have a full open diff unfortunately. I highly recommend this car to everyone, but unfortunately it is very difficult to find a good and well-kept copy, and even more difficult to find parts for them, so if you are going to buy such a car, I recommend choosing one of the more expensive copies, because if you think that you can fix minor defects yourself, you are wrong like me, because you can double the cost of the car, because the parts for these cars are either very expensive or not available at all. And don't wait too long with it, because in my country, the prices of these cars have almost doubled over the last 3 years, because once these cars were treated as drift rubble, just like BMWs.
