Welcome, very nice MR2 turbo. If you find the right person they will do a even trade for a is300, or maybe the Mr2 and a small amount of cash for a is300. Remember even stock a is300 has luxury features like xeon lights, power moonroof, heated seats and traction control, good luck on finding a good one.

i love the is300, even stock its got a nice sporty road feel, although a tad bit slow. its super reliable and comfortable, and looks good.

Welcome to CL as well. I would suggest keeping MR2 and saving up and getting an IS as a second car. I'm sure if you look around and look long enough, you'll find an a 1st gen IS to your liking. Good luck.
