Today I got my first IS300. 2004 with 74k miles. I'm pumped. I really wanted a 5 speed manual, but decided that the automatic in this condition and pretty low miles would do great (especially if my family expands in the future). Anyways, this car is bone stock (except for the wheels) and at least for the next four years will remain that way while under warranty. Until then, I can only dream of modifying it. Already brought it up pretty fast and she handles like a dream! So psyched!

So, here's a few pics. Enjoy.

 

clean ride and welcome to the forums!

 

yeah that is a nice car, welcome and feel free to ask as many questions as you may need

 

nice find. i was looking for a 5 speed as well but when i found the car i did i settled for auto because the condition of the car was so good. you wont regret it, the button shifters shift pretty quick

 

real clean congrats

 

Welcome bro nice find

 

I was also looking for a 5spd but once I found mine I said forget it and I still treat it like the first day I got it. Looks good and have fun with it!

 

Car looks to be in amazing condition. Take care of it and it will last you forever. and at least your timing belt will be covered under warranty

 

wow looks super clean. Good pick up. Congrats = )

 

When does the timing belt usually go out? What signs to look for?

 

I was looking for a 5speed as well but came across a 2002 black onyx 63k miles for under 8k so i just got that instead. 5spds had alot of miles and cost more when i was looking for them =\. still happy with my auto =)

 

Great looking and clean car! Love the photography! What camera are you using?

 

Very clean! Great find! I'd also like to know what camera you're using.

 

90k is the service interval. Signs are cracks along the belt missing splines on the inside and if its hard and brittle

 

That would be my wife's Sony Alpha 850. She's a professional photographer. Check her site out if you're interested in seeing more of what Sony cameras can do! http://jaimeecphotography.com
