Hey guys, my Lexus got rear ended and for sure it's probably going to get totaled. If getting it back to its original condition at a body shop costs too much for me, I'm thinking about getting a new car.
I always wanted a IS300 since it's one of the few cars within Lexus that has a manual transmission, the Altezza lights, a 2JZ engine, and a cool dashboard. There's literally plenty of awesome things about this car. Best of all, it doesn't have the ugly grilles like what you see in a new Lexus. To sum it up, it's basically my dream car.
I want to buy a stock manual IS300 in great condition (no paint peels, easy reversible mods if any, and well-kept interior preferably in all leather seats and tan interior). I've seen plenty of these cars in great condition, but they are all in automatic transmission. It's hard for me to find a clean one in manual transmission. And when I do find one, it's overpriced. When I take ownership of one, I will definitely keep the car stock.
How much does a clean stock IS300 manual usually go for? What's the fair price, assuming the car has around 80,000 miles to 150,000 miles? 200,000 miles and above?
