    When are you doing this? You’ve got plenty of room in the tundra garage.

    Swapping it would end up being cheaper. There is a local who has done up several of them and has spent enough to buy a couple C7 Z06's. Even when done his BRZ's had less performance than a C7 by a long shot in every measurable manner.

    They pop up once in a while but you have to be quick. Its hard to find an MT, it's even harder to find a nice one. Best way is to hang out in the IS300 forum's.

    Wtf?? Yes you should have!! That straight 6 in it is a beautiful work of art :drool:
    Is300 is one of my favorite vehicles ever. Little brother had one and it was such a solid and reliable and very well made car.

    2002 IS300 with 5 MT
    red
    Tint

    I traded it off on my 2005 Tacoma because I couldn’t afford to keep them both. No joke 2 weeks later I got a new job that was a 40% pay bump :(

    it was gone and couldn’t find another. Eventually got a 2007 IS250 AWD.

    the IS300 with MT, RWD, independent suspension, JZ...super underrated car.

    No way. Truly that is one of the worst jokes the universe can do to you. Wow man wow. What a shame.
    It's so hard to find real clean ones. And a manual tranny. And red.
    Yes, I know its just a car yada yada, lol. But in that same light, it is one of the funnest cars I've ever driven. I haven't experienced the manual trans in an IS300 though. It's gotta be an absolute riot in MT :cool:

    Yeah it still makes me sad. It was in good shape and only had 125k on it… The MT was a blast. It was quick and handled so well.
