Do they make replacement taillights for these cars that don’t look like ball sacks? ---

THAT is an E36 M3 (4 door) that is better than an IS300. I’d love a 4 door e36 m3, but they are so hard to find with a 5spd. That is nice, but a bit over my price range… I need to sell my WRX first… > [@bing](#): > > i’d take a the IS300 over an E36… but an E46 over the IS300. > > Who cares about HP when you buy this car.

Yeah, I’m really not too worried about having a fast car… If I want something fast i’d pick up a cobra or the like… I just want 4 doors, rwd, manual tranny… and a rear LSD… (yeah, kind of a small thing, but I HATE open diffs) I’m trying to look into the aftermarket on the is300s, I enjoy buying little bolt on parts when I owned vw’s and my wrx’s… And as of right now, I’m in no place to heavily mod a car, because, I don’t have a job and barley have a college education. :picard: ---

Then why don’t you sell the WRX first then ask questions about buy a car. ---

Unless you go boost the IS300 is a bad platform for modding. ---

no one is going to buy your car with cash, you’re going to have to trade it in. stop making new threads about cars you will not own. Until you take a picture of your face next to 12,000$ you should stop making threads about cars you are “thinking” about owning with money you think you will have, if someone buys your car. ---
