The space crab Sportcross has had me thinking of IS300s more than I have before, and I was happy to find that Winding Road has done a POV drive of a manual one. I could absolutely go for one of these.

Sadly, the only one on my local Craigslist is rather expensive....

Altezzas are a thing, but they usually have the 2.0, I6 or I4, and are RHD.

Manual IS300s are pretty uncommon, hence the price. The owners usually know what they have.

The one is the video is also fully loaded. “Alcatraz” (or was that “Alabaster?”... anyway, black and tan) interior, heated seats, full leather, factory Nav... Might even have an LSD.

It’s too bad, because it puts them in the price range of several BMWs that I would rather have.

Personally at that price I’d rather lose the manual and go with a 2nd gen IS 350. Or lose RWD and go with a manual TSX (which I did).

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > gmctavish needs more space 04/03/2018 at 03:49

Exactly. As appealing as an IS300 was I bought my E90 for less than the cheapest manual one I could find. And it was of course heavily modified which wasn’t really what I wanted either. If you have to have a Lexus I’d go with a GS300 or eve a GS400
