Looking to buy a great condition IS300 SportsDesign manual transmission. Engine must be in stock condition as I plan to keep the car stock (also to keep in compliance with California smog laws). Graphite Gray Pearl or ThunderCloud Metallic color preferred. Willing to pay good money as long as it's reasonable. If you sell your car to me, I will make sure to take care of it well since I do my own DIY work and detail my own cars. I do not abuse my cars and I drive like a granny (meaning not pushing the car hard of course). If you're looking to sell your car to the next owner who will look after the car, you found the right place. It's my dream car and I plan on keeping it forever.

These cars are INCREDIBLY hard to find. I just bought one in January, but the only place I could find (a decent one) was in North Dakota (I'm also from California). Getting them financed can be hard too, because the automatics go for a lot less and these cars are from the early 2000s. Mine is a 2002, with 47k. The car is absolutely beautiful. My S2000 is my pride and joy, but this car lives up to the hype as well. Only reason I would consider selling it, is because I plan on buying a Tacoma later on in the year (To haul my S2000 places and avoid putting miles on it). Other than that, I love this car, but if you'd like to talk, feel free to message me.

Doesn't the SportDesign version have all leather seats? Also, what happened to the SportDesign logo on the side of the fender?

My bad, I didn't pay attention to the trim. The last time I saw one of those was in 2012. Performance wise, they put out the same numbers. The grill is probably its most noticeable feature. Best of luck on your search!

I see them multiple times in my area and different places around the country, but they're either overpriced for the condition they're in, or they're heavily modded. I'm posting in different forums hoping someone out there still has an unmolested clean one.
