Default SOLD! Los Angeles: 2003 SportDesign Black Onyx IS300 Auto

SOLD!!!!!!!

Location: Los Angeles, CA
Vin #: JTHBD192830078553
Mileage: 145,010
Price:
Title: Clean
Contact info: mickificki@gmail.com

This is a 2003 SportDesign Black Onyx IS300 sedan. The SportDesign entails smoked headlights and tail lights, the charcoal Lexus emblems, and the sport design spoke wheels. The engine is a 3.0L inline 6, making 215HP with 218ft-lbs torque.

The hood is a BRAND NEW OEM Lexus hood with OEM hood insulation liner and hood prop, with a professional paint job by a well known and local auto body shop (parts purchased and paint job done by Hi-Quality Auto Body in Alhambra, CA, in January 2013).

Also, there is a K&N FIPK II air intake system installed as well as an L-Sportline exhaust system that doesn't drone and is very quiet yet sporty sounding (think Infiniti G37 exhaust, or maybe even quieter).

Suspension-wise, the car's suspension has been modified significantly with BRAND NEW PARTS installed in March 2013 that includes:

Tokico Illumina shocks
Eibach Pro Kit springs
FIGS Engineering front caster arm #2 bushings
FIGS mega arms (black version)
Steering knuckle rca hysteer (which I believe is the ball joint, etc).
FIGS front and rear sway bar end links
FIGS toe links.

Hotchkiss sway bars front and rear are installed and have been on the car for about 70k miles (still in good condition).

All parts were installed brand new by a reputable IS300 installer, and an alignment has been done. It should be noted that with the suspension modifications, you will hear a little more road and suspension noise, but the handling is significantly improved.

I've taken very good care of this car, did all the oil changes myself, timing belt, spark plugs, water pump, etc. were replaced at 90k miles. The car has always been garaged, and overall is in good shape. There are very slight scuff marks on the corners of the dash. The interior is in very good condition, especially the seats.

Smog was just done two weeks ago, passed flawlessly, and registration was just paid for (June 2013). The car runs very well, handles great, and is very reliable.

Give me your best offer!

Bump! Price drop to $8450. Need this car out of the garage. Car runs great, handles like a dream.

With this car, you won't have to worry about ball joint failures, replacing shocks, etc. It's all been done, and suspension parts are brand new.

I'll consider throwing in a HKS Drager II exhaust along with the car if the price is right.

Also have the original stock air intake box, and K&N filter cleaning solution, which will come with the car.

Come on people, no smog for two years, registration is paid for!

Why did you have to change the hood?
Pics of the interior dash areas you were mentioning?
And I assume you have the paperwork for the timing belt etc?

Very interested PM me or post thanks.

Changed the hood because i ever so slightly tapped the car in front of me, absolutely zero damage to his car (he was driving a lexus oddly enough), and the slightest crease in my hood which bugged the heck out of me. I swapped it out for a carbon fiber hood, which eventually faded and I got sick of it.

So, went out and bought a new OEM hood, new OEM hood insulation liner, prop, etc, and had it painted.

I'll post pics of the dash later. There are a few scratches.

I have the paperwork for timing belt and water pump, etc.

SOLD! I'm actually shocked it lasted this long, with all the work that was done to the car.

Anyway, the car went to a great guy! Congrats!
