Default my new is300 5spd

this is my new is300 5spd 2005 78,000 miles with navi i used to have a 92 sc400 drove it for a year i made my money driving it too and from work everyday for a year but in the last days of the car it started giving electrical problem so i just jumped ship and sold it as shell. after a month of searching i jumped on this this car its very quick for stock still getting used to driving stick . i will be boosting the car sometime next year but for now i will be investing in coilovers and some is350 wheels and a full exhaust system. i didn't really intend on getting an is i really wanted a gs300 but i couldn't find any good ones to my liking . i even almost got a g35 thank god i didn't.

Just picked one up myself, it was an exercise in patience & persistence finding a clean well sorta 5 spd.

Your driveway is awesome, it screams Florida.

nice car congrats ,lol it took me a little while to get used to the manual is300 because the pedals are so close to each other but the car is solid and will last, definitely a good investment

Hated you jump ship with the SC, but at least you stayed with the Lexus community in the end. Nice car BTW!

Well yes I still live with my parents but I work and save for everything I buy no freebies or handouts. Next on my list is a mk4 supra already working towards it. And no I'm not rich if I was an m5 would be there instead.
