Default New 2001 IS300 Owner from CHICAGO!

Hey everyone. Im new to the forum. I own a 2001 IS300 black with 18inch Lexus rims. Its black and has around 57K which I think is pretty good for being 7years old. Its has a K&N intake system and aftermarket exhaust. I have to do a little more research on my car to find out what is "L-Tuned" I have badges on my car that say L-Tuned and I dont know what it means.

I absolutely love the car. I bought it because it has the 2jzge motor and because of the way it looks.

here are some pics!!!!!



After market front lip/sport design grill


Rear L-Tuned badge/Sport Design Tail lights

Saw the car at the meet! Very clean. The wheels compliment the car very well. Nice ride.

I believe the wheels are Lexus Tormaline. The previous owner purchased the rims new from sewell lexus in march. i have all the reciepts. and lol yea it was a bit cramped and not many people got to see my car which IS for sale. Maybe if i would of put a bigger sign on it. I kind of wrote it small on a spot that wasnt too noticeable. Im actually only selling it for 14,700. Its an automatic with e-shift and only 57,000 miles. I say only 14,700 because almost $2,000 worth of parts were put into the car in the last 5months with rims/tires, cold air intake, grille, fogged tailights, short antenna etc. which were all put on the car in march.

Nice speaking with you at the meet, your car was sharp. I was impressed that it was free of rock chips and the headlights were not sun baked. I miss my 1gen.

Glad you joined. I am the one that was talking to you with the camera.

Did you still want to sell your car? Give us the info if you do so we can spread the word for you and help out. I am sure you will have some activity and that car was in perfect condition!
