Honest opinion on IS300s

[tylers88]

Been kicking around the idea of trading my 04 Silverado. I have always liked the is300s so I would like to get some honest opinions and insight on them. I found a very clean looking bright red one. Not concerned with the auto because I will only consider manuals.

I always wanted one, couldnt find 6spd when I was in the market so gave up. Anymore I find them a bit dated looking, but still seem to be solid cars. I also still would take one.

They're solid cars, absolutely. Obviously the timing belt/water pump will need to be done if it hasn't yet. Aside from that you can DD it without a hiccup. If you like it then scoop one up.

Guy gave me insult trade in price on my truck so the IS I found isn't happening, did find an 06 STI I like a lot. So now any big issues with those?

is300's are cool because you can do a turbo 2jz, 600+whp . take your time, do your research and pick the car you want and go find it. don't settle on whatever trade comes along

[tylers88]

Not really settling, just kicking around ideas of cars I like. Subi would make more sense since I would imagine it would get around better than the Lexus but I could be wrong. To be honest I settled for my 04 crew cab when I got that and turned out to be a good truck just getting bored with it and truck parts are so much.

What you want out of the truck I know a few people looking and working in a delaer you know they offer half price unless its uber uber clean.

I had one for 3 years and it was an auto. Had a blast with it the automatic part didn't even bother me. They have "paddle" shifters if you will there just buttons on the stearing wheel.

You would have fun in the sti. They are pretty fun and reliable cars if taken care of. They are also a practical car. They handle snow and winter conditions well but remember tires can make or break a car. Send me the link of the car and I will see if I know the car or if I can give you an idea of the condition

Always had trucks, just looking for a change, to get my 04 the way I want I'll end up $2500 in wheels and tires, $1000 in gears and TruTrac, $2000 into suspension, another $1000 in shocks, $1000 in fiberglass fenders and still have to get it painted.

I don't know why but this surprises the hell out of me.
