Re: high mileage IS300?
As long as it appears to be in good working order and was taken care of I wouldn't be afraid to do that. Especially if he's giving you cash with it.
Do it asap. |

in the spirit of fairness i would say, whats your motivation? if youre trying to bump to a luxury 4 door with a little sportiness to it and you cant afford a new school TL then the IS is the way to go. just make sure you get someone who knows what the heck they're doing to take a look at it before the deal is final |

Re: high mileage IS300?
Do it, put the extra cash aside, continue to save more cash and put a new motor in it.
Theres always the 2jz swap as well. |

Re: high mileage IS300?
That someone would say to get rid of a civic because they get beat by a lot of hondas.

It is in fact a dead end car,which is why you can buy them for almost the same price,or actually cheaper than a tastefully modded EM1. It was by far the least popular SI made,as well as the least powerful (thats not saying much either). I dont care if your car made Honda tuning,SCC,or whatever import magazine that is in right now. It doesnt take away from the fact that the car has no performance,or appearance appeal what so ever. The last "honda" I got beat by,was a K swapped EK hatch. It certainly wasnt an EP3,nor did it have EP3 powertrain underneath the hood. But lets look at the statistics : He spent probably somewhere between 4-6k on the swap,Engine managment,bolt-ons,and a tune. I spent lets see here...200$ on a CAI,and about 180$ on a 4.10 ring and pinion gear. Guess what?? it took him until 6th gear to actually pull away from me,from a 60 roll in 3rd gear. Congrats. It was definitely a nice car,but at the end of the day,I would rather have a decent performing vehicle with simple everyday features like cruise control,A/C,power steering and other things than just a "Fast" car. I dont give a shit if the IS300 has super high mileage,if the guy throws cash on top,do it.

yeah its like a EURO look but the reliability of a Japnanese. well i want a luxury sport with a lil RWD fun. nothin fun about spinning the front tires hahahaha Im sorry you got pissed off at the truth. Let me re-iterate it again for you : YOU own a dead end vehicle. You want advice but you want to get mad when someone tells you the truth??? Dont post again then. Ohh yeah, Dont even bother - repping me on some dumb shit for getting butthurt. |
