What to pay for turbo IS
I am thinking about buying a 2002 IS300 with a fully built motor done by trd with a t66 turbo and a 6 speed trans. The car has 12000 miles and is a complete sleeper, They want somewhere around 20k is it worth it? Is it worth more? Thanks in advance for any imput.

Fully built motor, I'm assuming it is a GTE head and block since it has 6 speed trans.
That's pretty sweet. Very rare & soo little miles.
You don't like your 2010 lexus is350? I'd rather have a 2nd gen IS

2000LEX, post the link to the For Sale posting with all the details. is it a complete GTE swap or NA-T? 12K miles sounds too good to be for a 02. my guess its 12k on the motor, or since the build, not the car.

no way. 2nd gen body style is pretty boring. too "ES" looking. plus with all those recalls

if the car is clean and the turbo build is good quality 20k sounds like a steal. as baadhabit said post the link or some pictures or something so we can see. theres just such a wide price range on turbo cars all depending on the quality of the build and the product brands they went with building it.

I saw a turbo IS300 on craigslist for $8,000 couple times
I bet they were beat all to hell though
Didn't even waste my time checking them out because I knew it wasn't gonna be good.....
