Default Got my IS! :)

Just wanna share some pics of my "new to me" 2001 MS iS300
Picked her up yesterday morning for a cool 5k

Cons: salvage title and 193k miles.

Pros: excellent condition, runs extremely well. Previous owner seemed to take good care of her.

Heres a pic or two:

At the previous owners house-

And noe at her new home

Nice pickup! Looks clean, but also wondering why salvaged?

I picked up my own 02 MSM is300 about 2 weeks ago.

Also wondering why it was salvaged? Any interior damage?

Looks like a good bargain at $5K.

Any plans to mod it in the future?

Hey thanks everyone! The interior is clean (besides the floor mat. Big whoop!) Heres a picture per request


As far as mods. Just little things. Altezza front grill, lip, springs, tail lights, wheels, exhaust, etc. Nothing major.

Congrats on the new purchase. Looks pretty clean. Why the savage title?

What are these things going for these days?....I feel 5k is a lot for a 12 year old car with almost 200k miles. Hell, I can;t even get 6k for mine and it has 120k miles and a clean title. (not as clean as the OP though.)

Thanks man. Apparently it was in a rear end collision but everything checks out. New rear bumper, tail lights, car was repainted, etc...

When I was looking around for an IS, I was seeing alot of them going for around 6-7k; and the super clean, low mileage ones were selling for 9-15k (in socal). So, for what I got, 5k wasnt a bad deal. Drives great and runs smooth.
