Hard to find an IS300 w/ decent mileage @ a good price w/ 5 speed. The transmissions from what I hear are a weak point if modifications/FI are added. ---

LOL @ Joey trying to buy something totally boy-racer under the guise of getting something that will be a good, reliable daily driver. DSM, reliability, and daily driver all in the same sentence. HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING DANIEL-SON? ---

:bowrofl: You’re a moron stop trying to buy a daily driver that is a racecar. Whitey would put that thing on a trailer if he had to take it to the end of the driveway. I mean granted a good bit of that is because he was scared I might swing by in the Vette and challenge him to a race, but still… ---

I’ve even gained some knowledge from you, like how not to buy cars from Kolar. . . Exactly! Learn from my mistakes. But the nice thing about that deal was his mother felt really bad about how much I paid him for that DSM, so she gave me half off nickel blowjobs for a year… so in the end I actually made a tidy profit on that deal. ---

Solid as fuck, cheap, nice car, parts are cheap, easy to work on, pretty sporty and fun if you can find one with a 5 speed. ---
