Just wondering what is the difference between a o1 is 300 and 03 is300.

Thanks

from "question about the IS series" by UNOHOO

someone said just the electrically the 01 is different from the 02-05.

As stated in past threads, 01 did not have stability, curtain airbags, front speaker grills, smoked headlights and tails (04-05), no special models lile the L-Tuned, no center arm rest and also, it is rare to find a 2001 with full leather.

 

ah thanks for the input, seems like the 03 is300 is the best option for me right now, meeting up the guy tomorrow to talk further more business, and test drive the car. Well keep u guys updated on how it goes.

 

Oi Brian! I have front speaker grills ... maybe that was a Canada 'safety' thing

Also, the 01 sits a tad lower at its stock height, the LSD is standard & there's no navi option.

 

also, 01 is auto only. all other years are available in both auto and manual.

and engine internals are stronger in the '01's. different process in making internals i believe.

and i dont know if LSD was available in '01?
