I agree. $20K for a car with 145K miles, and a rebuilt engine, and all those mods? You should run away from this as fast as you can.

^^Agreed

Plus I thought he took off the twin turbos? You can find an IS350 bone stock with the same amount/maybe even more power than a twin turbo IS for around $16-17k. No offense to e46m3 (what ever) but just speaking the truth. Good luck with the sale to him and good luck with buying a car to the OP

^ No offense taken. The OP contacted me through Facebook a couple weeks back and asked how much I was asking for my car. I only listed it once on Instagram and on Craigslist just to test the waters and see what I can get. I totally understand that mods don't add any significant amount of price increase to a car (This is my 13th car that I've bought in 6 years) but being that I'm not really needing to sell it... I felt like my car is worth at least $20k so I stuck with that. I know my car is super reliable and that's all that matters. I do have some things up my sleeve which I can't discuss publicly at the moment but it'll involve the twin turbo setup and a well known tuning shop that is going to be using my vehicle as a test mule.

If this doesn't sell... Do expect some crazy turbo setups, carbon fiber parts and wild colored vinyl wraps in the near future

You guys down in the US are lucky to find these cars so cheap. I feel like I paid out the *** for mine compared to you guys, and at the time it was the best deal in my area.

If I had come across this car and I was interested in flying out and driving it back, I would have seriously considered it, knowing that I would mod the car anyway. I would take it without the twin turbo setup, and probably sell the F2 coils for BCs. Since when were Gramlights considered reps anyway

EDIT: I just did the conversion on the exchange rate (CDN to USD), and I ended up paying just under $23k USD for my bone stock 08 AWD with the Luxury package, 37k miles (56k kms).

I think this would be a good buy for anyone wanting a already modded car... But I know most of us like to make it our own but honestly if I could of bought a modded Lexus before a stock one for the same price I bought mine at carmax I would of taken it... A lot of you dont consider the fact that out here in the southwest where we have year round sunshine our cars are completely rust free... Compared to you that have them in the east where it snows im sure our cars are la lot cleaner underneath no matter how well you take care of your car and that gives our vehicles more value
