Default Looking to possibly get into an IS300. What should I look for?

Im looking to possibly get into an IS300 as a daily driver and since I know quite a few members either own or know about them, I was just curious to know what should I look for before buying. It'll stay stock with possibly a wheel upgrade but thats as far as I'll go so just need to know about any mechanical needs. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've owned pretty much all jz vehicles on the market with the exception of a GS300 and I find the IS3 my favorite.
Easy to drive and looks good and power upgrades are there since you have the right platform. Gas mileage is great. Depending on your budget you are gonna spend between 6-11k. If I were to go and get one today I will be looking for a 2003 in the $7K neighborhood or 2004 in the 8-9K. All depending on the mileage of coarse.

If you get an IS, then go for the Sport cross wagon. That's always been a dream car of mine..
