go take a look.
i'd love to get it. but i'm 16. :P

that guy is still in business?

I think i'll pass. My buddy bought a S13 from him a few years ago when they first got into the "popular car scene" and it was a dud.

but it looks like it was a bank owned car.... i just don't know how he can price shit the way he does.

[ayuaddict]

i would LOVE to build one...

maybe throw like a 1J in it if im feeling tricky.

too bad i can't even afford to build a decent S13.

...one day.

i just picked up an 04' sport edition w/ 54k and MINT condition. its auto, but it was nice to get away from the 240 scene and not have to worry about any reliability problems lol. but i do miss driving manual though, the paddle shifters are kinda rad though lol. the best part is is their is an intake that gives like 20something whp and and a set of headers that showed 27whp gains. so you you figure, that intake,header/y pipe combo, and an exhaust and your looking at or around a 50whp gain for under 2 grand!!!!!

how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? i'm looking at a 05 auto with 35k on it, they're asking 17,900 but i was going to offer 15k and see what happens.

also which intake and headers are those?

Damn, wth. Where they using straws for the intake and exhaust system? Those are some big gains...

[!Zar!]

It all comes down to emission really...

But I'm not sure if you're just able to just say (X1 X2) = Xhp.

But I will say that the power increase is pretty good.

[Flicktitty]

Well, i guess i'll update if anyone cares. I went and looked at it. I liked it, sat in the car started it up, no problems, looked at the odometer...and thought what the fuck am i thinking. and got out.......

i like the cars but i think i wanna find a better mileaged one.

[!Zar!]

Yeah if you're going to drop some cash on one, get one you really like.

There is a GGP 5sp with 90k miles at a dealership up here for 12.5.

With times and money being tight these days I'm sure you can talk them down...

Never settle. I'm looking for an m5 and still haven't found the right one and I've been searching all over the place.

[JoeC1982]

mileage is high, my 96 S14 only has 112k miles on it.

NO do not!

Not really. The average person drives 15k +/- years per year. So that puts the prior owner of that car right around the average.

The mileage on your s14 just happens to be low.

Yeah, I've heard quite a few stories about feng.

As for your gf... I call BS that she is worth looking at until you pm me pics.

That's not what I remember reading. The way I calculate it is 10K is whats supposed to be normal. 12K is the real average. 15K is the more extreme of the average....if that makes any sense.

What I always wonder if people calculate it from the year the car was made or the year its tagged with. A car made at the second half of '03 is tagged as a '04 model for instance.

But what it comes down to is this. If you're gonna be laying down $10K or $100K the car better be worth that (or more if you're getting a bargain) and you should be comfortable with the mileage and condition.

[!Zar!]

True.

But it really depends on the buyer.

I wouldn't buy a new used car with over 50k personally.

Your from Chicago? No idea.

as far as the mileage, when i found the car it was posted twice on CL. once by a dealer and a few days prior by the original owner. Guy said he drove 45-50Miles 1 way to work every day on the freeway so i could understand the miles.

[dynamicck]

i always wanted an IS. this video only made me want it more.

long story short i paid 14k, the dealership had two of them one sport design (they were asking 19,900 for) and the regular one, same color and interior colors were the same. well, i got them down to 14k for the regular one (which was in worse shape) and they sent the guys to grab it and wash it, after the paperwork was all done i went out side to drive away and noticed some dents were no longer there, i opened it up and noticed the carbon fiber trim kit and thought they added it, then i realized the car washers brought the wrong car and the salesman sent someone else to grab the vin off of it and he obviously didnt realized the mistake either lol...checked the paperwork and no shit they accidentally sold me the sport design version for 14k... they called a couple days later after they realized it and asked if i would come back and switch out, they were dicks though the whole time, so i politley told them no.

oh btw, the headers/y pipe combo are made by mazzuri racing and the intake is a swift racing technologies (srt) and it comes with a ecu chip thats plug and play. on the is forums you can find back to back dyno runs and proof.

[JoeC1982]

Nice work on that one, i found the swift intake already. Mazzuri just closed its doors from what i've read so their header may be hard to find.

shit that sucks i was really planning on buying that...i wonder if their is another y-pipe/headers that give that much gain and "not ricy" sound quality

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

the is300 is a beast, especially when you turbo it.

really? you're the first I've seen (read) that actually likes that body style.

[origin_s135]

^^
i know a friend that has one, it's allllllllllllllllright. i prefer the sedan more.

[JoeC1982]

I went and drove one tonight, very smooth drivetrain and i liked it alot but the interior didn't feel as nice as my 05 TSX. they wanted way too much too, 19,900 for a 05 even with under 30k miles.

[DrIvEsldEwAyS]

my roomate just sold his 5spd is for 12k. he loved it, fun to drive, somewhat good on gas and pretty comfortable.

X2, i am a HUGE wagon guy and not a real fan of it.

[pink godzila]

Take your time and look for a 5sp!!

[Jeezy240]

if it was me i would hold out and find a manual one with less miles for less money.

but i would look around a little more.

manual IS300 are certainly worth it, it is much funner and 02-04 manual came with stiffer spring, carbon tail light and wheels, and LSD. i drive my manual IS300 in LA traffic just fine....

not all manuals came with smoked tails. that was only L-tuned and some other model.
but thats not all manuals.

its LOUD as FUCK lol but he likes it.

they are real nice cars, i LOVE the dash setup. plus its got the lexus factor= p-magnet

what IS came with a 6speed?

did he do a v160?

that's a good price, i used to have an auto is300. great daily driver with no balls!

go look on my.IS you can many IS for sale. you can find a a turbo one for 13 right now. and you can find a 5seep with 75k and a bunch of mods for 7,900 obo.

lol hah yeah your right about the tails. they are horribly ulgy.

my.is

My.IS. You can many them.


hahaha. I had to...


Honestly, my.is is a shitpile of a forum.

I haven't posted on there in forever. Those guys are stubborn and jerk each other off worse than nico.

Only a handful of people were worthwhile on that forum.

And those people joined zilvia/zt.

[Jeezy240]

lol yeah sorry a typo.

well anyway. you can find a bunch of them on there.

but yes they are a bunch of jackoff's

interesting, so what do i have? it is 02 intensa blue but not L-tune or sports design, but it has LSD, graphite tail light and wheels. as far as i remembered, there are only non sports design model and sports design model available, so what are other models are out there? I thought i read somewhere that manual model comes with a package with those stuffs.

[Flicktitty]

What's another good IS site?

i was on my.is but more the marrier.
