Okay hello guys Im new. I've been wanting to get an is300 for a while now and I found an 02 for 2200 with 125k miles, salvage. The only problem is code p0300 p0301 and p0302 misfire on cylinder 1 and 4. I was doing research here and it says most of them are just coil replacement or plugs since the guy said he just changed the spark plugs.he also said he changed all 4 02 censors, and cats. Hope you guys can help me decide if I should get it and hopefully its just replace the coils and plugs or if you guys think it can be other things

 

what if its not as simple as you think and its not just the wires you could be looking at more cash i say not worth it

 

Not worth it, you can find salvaged with no motor issues for around the same price..

 

yea... sounds like a money pit trying to find gremlins. I would say pass as well.

 

I would pass up on it. By the time you fix it you could've got another one running right and less hassle.

 

If you are just trying to buy this car to get it running, it really depends on the condition on the car overall, paint and interior have to be perfect. When I bought my car I tried to stay away from salvage and rebuilt cars.

 

If you're not extremely familiar with engines then stay away.

If you're going to buy it as a project car to where you'll be tearing the engine apart or doing a swap then it's all about the body and interior condition.

 

I'd stay far away from it, it's almost certain to bring you a headache
