Default 02 IS300, Crystal White, 5spd, 54k, North DE

I've decided to sell my IS300, I bought a more practical car for my daily. If you think I missed something in the list, just ask.

2002 Lexus IS300, 5spd manual, 54k, Crystal White, Tan Leather, no issues
I am the 2nd owner, originally from Georgia (warm, dry weather only)
Always garaged kept
Never seen snow, ever
Never smoked in, ever
No accidents/no paint work/no leaks/no funny smells
Always dealer or personally serviced
Excellent overall condition
Very clean interior with no mars or wear to mention
Professional light tint on all 4 windows (not that cheap ***** that turns blue)
Brand new Falken ZE512 (way more quieter than the OE Bridgestones)
Brand new Lexus installed transmission/clutch/shifter (warranty-bad synchro)
All sythetic fluids
I even changed the cabin filter
Spare tire has never been used
Enclosed transport used for my purchase

I did some carefully chosen mods:

*I am not a ricer/racer and do not abuse my cars. This IS was my daily peace and quite car with a touch of sport. I carefully chose these refinements
*Brand new headlights. Custom painted housings by David Beck. Matte Gunmetal Metallic. I think I paid apprx. $1000 for these.
*Fog lamp lenses were repolished and housings paint matched as per the headlights
*TRD Tail lights
*Tein S-tech springs/Tokico 5 way Illumimna shocks
*Custom 4 wheel alignment (to reduce the dreaded inner tread wear)
*B&M short shifter (installed during the transmission R/R)

Notes:

I have not driven the car regularly since last fall. It has been started and driven to keep the flat spots off the tires. There is a small crack (apprx 2in) in the very lower front LHS bumper area. It has a simple repair holding it together from behind and is not noticable. The car is in great condition. It has maybe a few dings/chips/scratches, but nothing notable. Afterall, it was my daily. It has never given me any mechanical problems and burns no oil. The engine bay is very clean. It operates smooth and quiet. The trunk is clean and dry.

I want $18k. I know how rare the white 5spd IS300 is. They were mostly sold west and south. I have never seen another one in this area. I'll take a few pics of it in the garage (it's raining miserably here today ). I will have the car professionally detailed prior to the sale.

Default A few pics, forgive the bad lighting.

Here's a few updated pics. Just got the car back from Clean Pro...best detail shop in this area. They don't use any cheap gimmicky treatments like glossing the hell out of the engine and interior. They didn't even touch the engine bay. Had 2 coats of carnuba paste and the leather fully conditioned. She smells sweet! Click thumbnail for big pic.

Hi, where are you and/or the car located? Also, by 5sp, does that mean it's a manual transmissioned car?

Yes, it's a manual/standard transmission. The car is in North Delaware. I updated the pics above.

What did you get as a DD if you don't mind me asking? Since I was thinking about getting an IS300 for a DD...

Thanks for the endorsement Redpaste. I'm putting this girl on auto trader next week. I drove her this w/e...oh man I ask myself why I'm selling. I forgot how much I like that car.

It's too bad you're located so far away or I'd take her off your hands. Good luck with the sale though.

Dont let the distance deter you, cars this clean have to be traveled for. Im certain James can get this car to your doorstep without incident. I can vouch for the cleanliness and the meticulous approach he took in regards to this car. If I wasnt dying for a fresh 5 series, Id be all over this for a proper "beater".
