This is a very rare combo. The vehicle has been maintained to the fullest. Synthetic Oil used exclusively since I have owned it. All the maintenance was done either on time or early. I had the 90K mile service done already, I also did a new water pump since we were in there anyway. One of my best friends works for McGrath Lexus is Westmont. He gets me cost on parts and I pay one of the technicians cash for work and maintenance. So, I can do anything to the car for cheap. Basically you are getting a car that you can only change the oil for the next 100,000 miles and you should be fine. Full Maintenance records available upon request and will also come with the sale.
Price Includes a second set of Lexus Brand Rubber Floor Mats and Factory SportDesign Rims with Blizzak LM-22 Snow Tires with much tred left. The car is currently wearing SportDesign floor mats and Enkei EKM3 (gunmetal) rims with Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires.
There were only 2,636 Manual IS300s built in 2003. Even less had the LSD. Even less were GGP. And very few were SportDesign. This combo is truely very rare. My estimate would be less than 1,000 produced in the US.http://www.lexus.com/contact/pdf/2003/2003ISspecs.pdf
To answer some questions....
1.) I have owned the car since 3/21/2008.
2.) There are no missing VIN stickers. The front and rear bumpers have been painted in 2008, probably could use some touch up.
3.) I did not do the DIY timing belt, it had it done by Luke, who is a certified tech at McGrath Lexus in Westmont, IL. He did all the work and maintenance to this car since I have owned it at the Lexus dealership. I have records. The Belt was done at 90,004 miles in December of 2009 along with the water pump.
4.)On 7/5/2013 @ 108,790 miles, I had the following "tune-up" service done:
a.) Replace Manual Transmission Fluid
b.) Replace Rear Diff Fluid
c.) Replace Spark Plugs
d.) Replace Spark Plug Wires
e.) Clean Throttle Body, engine parts, plug channel, etc.
f.) Replace O2 sensor.
5.) It does have full leather seats.
6.) The dash is holding up great. No melting.
7.) The reason why I want to sell it is because I am going to be leasing a car through my company, and with two kids, I don't have much of a garage. So, I can't use three cars. (Wife has a Toyota Sienna). I'm looking at the Lexus CT200h for some fuel economy.

Lexus GS F coming in 2016 with 500 hp
Sat, 06 Sep 2014The Lexus GS F has been one of those cars that's been rumored and whispered about for years, but has never come to fruition. The last time we spoke of the Lexus-badged BMW M5-killer was in a crop of spy photos, posted one year ago yesterday. So what's behind this latest rekindled round of rumors?
Well, according to Autocar, sources have claimed that the GS F will hit markets in 2016, and that it will make use of a more potent version of the Lexus RC F's 5.0-liter V8 that will sing to the tune of 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF will be included, as will a Torsen limited-slip diff. Taken as a whole, the executive sedan should get to 60 in the mid-four-second range and accelerate to a top speed of 170 miles per hour.
Prices in the UK will start at 80,000 pounds ($130,000 at today's rates, but as we know, translating British prices to American prices is an inexact science), and right away, we run into a big issue.
2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport snarls in Switzerland with darkened demeanor
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Lexus is finally ready to return to the coupe market with the new RC, and while we already saw it in Detroit, it brought the new RC 350 F Sport version for the Geneva Motor Show.
The car packs 306 horsepower and 277 pound-feet from its 3.5-liter V6 and is meant to sit between the standard RC 350 Sport Coupe and the full bore RC F.
Most obvious when you glimpse the coupe is the more aggressive spindle grille with a new mesh treatment and dark, 19-inch F Sport wheels. The interior also receives a host of upgrades with Rioja Red leather and Silver Performance trim, plus perforated leather trim on the steering wheel and shift knob. There is a bit of LFA inspiration as well with the F Sport getting its moving center ring instrument display. It is not all about better style though because the coupe also gets adaptive dampers and an optional four-wheel steering system.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
