Saying hello!
Hello fellow Lexus owners!
My previous DD is broken and not worth the time and hassle to fix, so I inherited an automatic '03 IS300 that's been sitting in a garage for about 3-4 years! The interior is pretty beat... Seats has stains, cigarette burns everywhere, door cards look like they have cat scratches on them, the dash also looks to be repainted at some point and is peeling/scratched up from an unknown source. However, the exterior is in decent shape, and the engine/tranny still feels stout at 247K miles!
Staying fairly optimistic as this is a temporary DD for now and I will be restoring/repairing the interior. Once I jump into a new DD, this is most likely turn into a project car... And once the engine goes... I guess it'll be time for a GTE swap perhaps? Maybe NA-T? And a manual swap!
Just saying hello for now
