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.

BMW M4 vs. Lexus RC F in Head 2 Head sports coupe showdown
Wed, 29 Oct 2014It's the showdown everyone's been looking forward to, the East versus West grudge match of the year. We're talking, of course, about the BMW M4 versus the Lexus RC F.
Although BMW uses a twin-turbo straight-six and the Lexus uses a free-breathing V8, the two are pretty closely matched on paper: a luxury coupe with over 400 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels.
The BMW has been doing these cars for longer, and the M4 boasts a higher power-to-weight ratio. But then the RC F has more power - and without forced induction to break up the rev range. So which is the better luxury muscle coupe? Watch the latest episode of Motor Trend Head 2 Head to find out.
TMG Lexus LS Sports 650 destined for production after 2015?
Fri, 01 Nov 2013There's little question that Lexus has succeeded in challenging its German rivals in the luxury marketplace. And with the LFA, it has proven that Japan can build a world-class supercar. What's left blank is the space in between.
Toyota Motorsport GmbH came up with a compelling answer in the form of the Sports 650 prototype, a Lexus LS with a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 641 horsepower and other go-fast components to challenge the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and Audi S8. Toyota boss Akio Toyoda was reportedly so impressed with the project that he initially ordered TMG to build ten examples - one for him and each of his nine best friends. But since the model on which the project was based has since been replaced, questions remain over the project's fate.
Georg Kacher - European correspondent for Automobile and Car magazines - recently drove the prototype and reports that "the project will now likely be transferred to the new model out in 2015." That could come down purely to speculation, but Kacher tends to get the inside line on industry news, so this particular bowl of gossip soup might not requite the usual grain of salt we otherwise might add.
New Lexus small CUV may have been behind moving ES production to Kentucky
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Lexus may have had another big reason - in addition to the financial incentives potentially worth up to $146.5 million that Kentucky offered - to move ES production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The ES has always been built in Japan, and a report at TheDetroitBureau.com claims that the Kyushu facility will be tooling up to build a new model thought to be a compact hybrid crossover expected to go on sale next year. While ES300h production would remain in Japan, shedding 50,000 units of traditional ES production would free capacity for what many think will be an important model in the Lexus lineup.
The new CUV will come in below the RX and be built on the platform of the RAV4. Speculation is that there will be an NX200t and an NX300h, the former possibly getting the 2.0-liter turbo Toyota engine due in 2014 - matching the predicted timeline for the CUV and supposedly also meant for an RX200t - and latter getting the same 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain in the ES300h. We'll see a preview of the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 fighter at this year's Tokyo Motor Show; the production version should be unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
