2002 Lexus IS300 E-Shift 5 speed automatic transmission
Absolute Red
Just rolled over 100k miles on it
Clean and clear title in hand

Standard options such as keyless entry, power windows, power door locks, one touch moon roof, power mirrors, power seats (drive and passenger).

Exterrior
I have taken very good care of the paint since I've owned it. I've clay bar'd it and waxed the car weekly. Anyone who knows me knows how often I wash this car. Its never seen dirty, lol. The paint is in great shape.

Mind you the car is 8 years old. There are a couple nicks here and there from DD. The rear spoiler paint looks like it has debri in the paint. You can't really notice it until you get up close and run your hand over it. Someone opened the door into my left rear 1/4 panel. Its so minor you can't tell. I tried to take a picture of it but you can't see anything. You can't even feel the flaw with your hand. Only way you can tell is if the sun is shining right on it and you stick your face against the side of the car and look directly down it. (Yes i'm that anal about it)

The head lights are a little hazy. They need some elbow grease. It has the front headlight housing's painted black. Of course factory HID's and fogs. The rear tails are the factory sport tails. So they are smoke tail lights. Not the lenses the actual housing inside. So they aren't the flashy chrome. The clear coat on the mirrors and handles has started to peel a little.

I have also added a JDM Altezza grill (pictured below)

Windows are all tinted limo tint. Its DARK!

Overall 7.5/10

Interior
The interior is all black. It has black leather seats with suede inserts. The trim around the radio is smudged. Looks like it got hot and touched. Its pretty common in IS300's for some reason. Overall its VERY clean. No rips tears or even where marks. All the factory floor mats are there and in great shape. Everything works just fine. It has a double din In dash DVD/CD player that is touch screen. I have it wired so movies will play while driving. Its setup for music videos etc.. Who ever had the car last replaced all the speakers with Bass Pro speakers. yes....they suck.

Overall 9/10

Wheels, brakes, suspension
Right now its sitting on Ray Gram Lights. However, it will probably come on a set of Konigs in perfect shape with no scratches or nicks of any sort. Brand spankin new Nitto Neo Gen tires 225/40/18's all the way around. All stock suspension all stock brakes. The car handles and drives like new. The front rotors are slightly warped. When braking at low speeds you can feel a little vibration in the steering wheel. Should be with in specs just need the rotors turned. Pads and such are like new. All four calipers and rotors have been painted gloss black. When I say rotors I mean the hub part. All tie rod ends, balls joins etc.. are in good shape.

I'll say overall 8/10 because of warped rotors.

Engine
All stock and has been that way. Engine bay is fairly clean no mods. I just put new spark plugs in it. When I bought the car not long ago I had a car fax and the plug wires were changed and it had all maintenance done at a toyota dealer. I just recently changed the oil with full synthetic. Which has always been that way. The car runs nothing but premium (as the owners manual calls for.)

I have put a new cat back exhaust system on it. It runs a magnaflow high flow cat and 2.5" piping into a magnaflow polished stainless steel turbo sport muffler. I've added a video below of the sound. Its got a nice sound to it not raspy at all. Everyone who has heard it has complimented the sound of it.

Overall 9/10

I'm sure i'm forgetting something but if I remember i'll add it. Any questions please feel free to ask. Before any of you smart asses ask no there are no recalls on it.

I'm asking 11,000 OBO. If you don't like the price look up blue book on it or move along and find another. It is OBO but not sure i'll budge much. Feel free to PM me a reasonable offer. I am accepting no trades unless you have a red or white 08+ STI.

You can post here, PM me, or email me at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thanks guys.

I have the stock grill to go with it if you like that better.
