Hi, looking for value info for my '02 IS-300. MT/LSD, MSM color, 125k original miles. I am the 1st hand original owner, bone stock, pampered and garaged the car all it's life. I live in So Cal, extremely dry here, no rust at all. Would like to get a ballpark # how much it worth today? Pic attached.

 

I've been seeing some pretty hefty price tags as of late on the 5spd is300's. Especially in the SoCal area. Now whether they're getting that or not is another story, but the right buyer might pay upwards of $9-10k. Based off what others are asking and the mileage. You won't find many below 120k miles anymore.

85-105k mile 5 speeds were getting between $9.5-12k fairly commonly a few years back. Obviously the 03-04 sport design 5 speeds will demand higher premiums but it all comes down to what a buyer is willing to pay, and what someone is willing to let it go for to find out what it's really worth.

But based on current market I don't see why you couldn't pull up over $8500-9k for it. Yours is a really clean representation of what most people who are going to spend good money on one are looking for.

 

8500-11k sounds right

 

go to a CarMax and see what they'll offer. they're probably one of the best baseline prices to go by. kbb sometimes books high and gives owners "high hopes." sticks are hard to come by now and days as well. I'm in concurrence, with above. I think you'll be in the mean of $9.5k.


someone in CA just posted that they bought an auto w/ 80k miles and bought it for $10.9k. don't know if it was from a dealer or not. just some numbers to look at though.
