Midnight Purple 6mt Lexus IS250 (lightly modified)
Hello!
My name is Johnny, and I've been around for awhile. It's finally time to sell my pride and joy, my grocery getter, show stopper, and reason for e-fame. I am selling this car because I have picked up a 2003 BMW M3, which I am in love with, and has decided that I don't need two cars in my life. This is my first brand new car, bought it back in February of 2006, it first started out as Smokey Granite Mica, and had two color changes since then. I have also painted it flat black after a small hit-n-run which involved my rear bumper/passenger side quarter panel, which DID NOT mess up any body panels, minor scratches occurred on the lip of my rim, body panel, and rear bumper. The flat black paintjob was painted throughout the WHOLE car, engine bay, door jams, etc. I then repainted this car Midnight purple around 2009, but the door jams, engine bay, etc were left flat black, I did this because it was a cheaper route, and the flat black door jams didn't make too much of a difference when being matched up to the Midnight Purple exterior. After selling off my Ings kit, I decided to get a Vertex kit for the next owner of this car, because this kit is more tame, and also would make a great daily driver since it wasn't that low. This car has been in two magazines, Import Tuner and Performance Auto & Sound. It has been to many carshows and won numerous awards (all that I'm keeping, lol). I hope i can get a few vouches of how gorgeous the paint looks in person, and in the sun. I'm sorry for this long paragraph and history of my car, but here are more details of this car.

If you think the price is unfair, don't be afraid to offer me something you think is fair. If you don't get a response? Well.. you know that that means.
Car is located in San Diego but i can show it in LA also (but that means more miles on it). We all know it's a Lexus.. so it's going to last forever. TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Help a fellow Lexus owner

Sad to see an OG go. But damn, you did it in superior fashion. I remember looking up to your car when i first got mine back in '08. Also, I bought your ARC intake box/pipe awhile back. xD
I hope your stay here was good and I can only imagine how your M will turn out. Best of luck my friend!

Hey Chris, of course I remember you man! Hope you are still enjoying that intake.. Nothing in the market comes close to the growl of that thing.
It definitely has been a hell of a ride.. But we all gotta move on. My M already has te's.. Lol typical. Hopefully I find a buyer that is passionate about cars and takes good care of this car, it will be missed for sure.
