Default My recently purchased IS 300

Here is a picture of my IS 300 Sports Design Edition; I have had it for three weeks.










Two months ago I totaled my ES 300 (wasnt my fault), and loved lexus so much, I went and bought a 03 IS 300 with 20k miles. So now, even before my first oil change (free), what happens to my car? I t-bone an expedition going 65 miles per hour. No injuries luckly though and luckly it again wasnt my fault. We can thank Lexus for designing such a great/safe car and also throw some luck in there also.



Now, I am looking to buy another IS; it is between a low mileage certified 300 or a new 350.

If anyone has any leads on another IS exactly like this one (sportsdesign, graphite gray, or any color really) for a reasonable price then please let me know; I would greatly appriecate it.

I would try to buy the 350 IS sportdesigns are rare they made 2000 each year for the 2 years they made them so kinda hard to find. The color you have was offered only in 2003 and is even rarer.
