well first car was a honda 10 years ago and had many since then in fact i own 4 now. but im looking to get rid of my Lexus IS300 that ive had for the last 3 years that was making around 400 whp till i unboosted it to sell it.

im looking for an ap1 i like the fact it had a more sporty suspension and 9k just sounds sweet

just would like to find out if theres anything typical to go wrong or out in that model that i should look for when buying one

thanks

The AP2's acctually have a stiffer front suspension and alittle softer rear to make it more controlable.. also since it has 17's it gives a more firm ride out of the box... But if by more sporty you mean snap oversteer.....

 

I agree AP2>AP1

 

I disagree. The AP1 has a stiffer (and less forgiving) factory suspension setup.

Drive Both and Decide for Yourself!

 

The biggest thing to consider when looking at an AP1 is the rear window. The 00 and 01 models came with a plastic window and the 02-03 models came with glass. The plastic window cracks easily in cold weather, and requires replacing the entire top which is a major undertaking. Many of the 00-01 cars are getting to the point that the top is being replaced with a glass top conversion which is also something to look at. I was quoted close to $2000 to have mine replaced. I ended up doing it myself, but if I was doing it again, I'd pay the 2 grand. Good luck with the purchase.
