Thanks, I thought so too.

1Sick is right; manual/navi is tough to find. Here's another place to look:

Something i also like is that he is a co-worker so i know how he treats the car and i know the car is good.. Imagine traveling just to get there and something is wrong with it.. And yes 5speed/Navi=SEXY.... and that blue color is also very nice with black leather... I was approved for the loan so i might just jump on it this friday..

 

I wouldn't touch it, not becuase of pricing or what it is, an 03 IS300 with a 5 speed, but because it is from a co-worker. If you buy it and it turns out there was some hidden problem you weren't aware of, whether he was aware of it or not, or perhaps just bad luck it the tranny fails or some other major repair comes up, it can lead to a real bad situation at work.

I say don't mix business with pleasure. That includes selling/buying cars from family members and co-workers. Too many headaches and not usually worth the potential hassles.

Of course if you have no problem with this type of transaction, than just be clear that what you are buying and he is selling is as is with no implied warranty or guarantee.

 

Well we work at carmax and the car has been fully inspected..... If that changes your opinion?? But yes I do see what you are saying.

 

Well, having it inspected is a plus, as you have a pretty clear idea mechanically on what you are buying. If you do buy it, hopefully luck will be on your side and you won't need any major repairs in the near or distant future.
