Any IS300 owners out there? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

goddfather40 · 11-30-2003, 09:54 AM

I just got the car I've wanted for the last couple years, a brand new '04 Lexus IS300, graphite gray, black all-leather interior, e-shift. Got it for 29,500 plus tax, lic., fees. It is such a nice ride. Very smooth and great handling. Are there any other IS owners here on TFP?

I don't have an IS300, but my family's last 4 cars have been lexus (aunt: rx300, dad: sc430, mom: ls430, me: lx470)
They are quality cars and will last you forever.
Congradulations and have fun!

I don't have an IS300. They seem like fairly nice cars though. However, I think that all the other cars in Lexus' line are shit compared to other brands.

I'm the proud owner of a 2001 green is300. This is a bitchin' car! Fun to ride, responsive, smooth and enough power to have a blast! I also got eshift though I don't use it much. I was going for a mazda protegé

but I found this one instead. About 20000$ canadian with repairs.

How's that? I read the most recent JD Power magazine, and out of their top 10 autos, I think 4 or 5 were Lexus. They're also even more dependable than Toyota, which is quite a feat (I know they're the same company, but they rate more dependable).

As far as luxury and dependibility, *maybe*.

For the money you spend on Lexus, you can buy some real german engineering. Benz, BMW, Audi, which IMO, are a WHOLE lot nicer then anything Lexus or Toyota makes.

I think I would have had a tough time finding a, for example, '04 BMW 3 series for under 30K, if that is what I was looking for.

Wish I was an owner I would go for a Yellow standard transmission model if I had my choice. My family has been Toyota owners forever always been good cars. I am still driving the 1982 Toyota 4x4 that my dad bought new and I bought from him.

IS300's are great cars...........they have high potential and very mod friendly.

I would have bought one but the snow here suks.
