2002 Is300 Manual..should I get it?
I have a few friends who own is300 but they own the 2003 and newer now I know the car is reliable and im expecting to do some maintenance work on it because it is like 11 years old. The car has 116k miles on it claims to have a new transmission it seems like a steal but they want $8.5k for it which to me seems a little pricey. It is the only one within 300 miles of me that is a manual and offered at a dealership. I am looking to finance the car to build a credit history any and all input is greatly appreciated!

i did not get the car i went and checked it out the thing is falling apart. they said it was clean title no accidents the whole passenger's side of the car was painted and never buffed parts of the car were taped on. Interior noting was screwed in if you open the windows and then when you tried to close them the whole panel falls out and it just wasnt worth anything close to what they were asking for it. It was at a little family dealership, their mechanic works in a tent in front of the dealership
