2004 IS300 automatic with e-shift option on steering wheel. I think everyone says this about their car but really the nicest and cleanest I have seen for sale. This car is simply fantastic it has never broken down on me and has always been reliable. It is small but a four door so still very convenient and nimble. It is the most practical of my cars and probably not the one I should be selling but...I just bought a new car bringing my personal vehicle count up to 3 so wife says one of them has to go. I bought the car with 32,000 and it now has 100,800 miles this may go up a little as I will drive occasionally to keep the battery charged and working properly as it is not good for cars to sit all the time. Clear title, 1 accident on the report which was a rear end bumper damaged only which was replaced with OEM bumper. No body or trunk lid damage I have VIN tag pictures of door jamb, both fenders and trunk lid I can send unfortunately they only allow 24 pics. If you know about cars then you understand that if the trunk and fenders are original that indicates no major collisions. You can't really go by Carfax as your sole source that only shows what was reported, you have to in addition go from looking at the vehicle. I can send photos of anything and everything you like to see just send me your address the add only allows 24 total photos even if you pay for more. Black on black leather. The 2004-2005 were the only ones with full leather the older ones were a mix of suede and leather bolsters which have not held up well on the examples I have seen. This one has heated seats, also perforated leather front and rear in the center section. I have never personally seen another with perf leather. 2004-2005 also had an improved, closer turning radius. I think they made less of these or people are holding them as I see more 2001-2003 for sale. I believe I am the third owner of 9+ years. During this time never smoked in or abused. The only smell inside that I notice is the leather conditioner which is not strong or offensive. I perform my own oil changes, Mobile 1 full synthetic 5W30 and the larger, high performing Toyota oil filter part # 90915-YZZD3. Everything works. No bulbs out no CEL, no SRS or airbag lights, no stories. Windows, sunroof, sun shade, electronic trunk release work perfectly. You will get two working master keys. Low beams are factory 4300K HID lamps. Fog lamps are amber incandescent. Battery is from mid-2016 Toyota OEM replacement 5 year warranty I believe I have receipt. New iridium spark plugs within last 10,000 miles. Front grill is aftermarket I will include the OEM unit with the sale. This and the antenna are the only changes done to the outside of the car. I believe I also have to original antenna and will include if I can locate. Car as been clay barred recently and paint is silky smooth. Door jambs, under hood, trunk, sils have all been detailed. The aluminum trim along the sill of each door are just about perfect. These are usually all dented up. The aluminum OEM pedals are also in excellent shape. Currently there is an aftermarket head unit this is not included I will put the original radio back in which works perfectly. I used to install mobile electronics professionally and assure you wiring was not cut I used adaptors which will be removed and back to original 100%. Speakers are perfect and no crackling or distortion-these are original. I installed a DEI remote starter I will leave this in for you so you can heat or cool the car, you can even have the heated seat come on automatically. Nice! Brand new rotors and pads all the way around (ceramic so they barely dust and make very little noise. Tires are around 75% tread life. Wheels are square (meaning not staggered aka wider in the back). Tires are not directional so they have been regularly rotated in x pattern. Car tracks and brakes perfectly straight. Very little tramlining even on bumpy or patched roads. Full size spare in trunk. Wheels locks on all 4 wheels, lock key in glove box along with Lexus black touch up paint should you need it, No cracks or major chips in any glass. I don't recall seeing nay scratches, wipers have been maintained so they have not wore into the glass. Some small stone chips which are to be expected for car of this age. Small scratch in the rear bumper driver side behind driver rear wheel along with small mark on same bumper under the license plate area. Very minor but I can send pictures. All things that are supposed to be shiny are-gauge cover has no scratches, headlights, tail lamps (the small circle lights on trunk are faded on almost every one except mine) Wipers are about 2 month old and are the high quality single beam type. Trans filter and flush done around 60,000. Leather looks great barely shows any wear in the front the back is just about flawless. Whenever I use the trunk I put a towel down so the carper is perfect still. Hopefully you can see that I am very particular about my vehicles, here are my ratings based upon my opinion you can draw your own conclusions from the photos. Overall condition for age: 9Mileage: 8.5Paint: 8 (it's black so not going to look perfect like white or silver but is super shiny)Exterior trim, lights, etc.: 9.5Interior: 9Steering wheel: 9.5Ride quality, suspension, brakes, wheels & tires: 9.5Reliability: 10 This car would be great to either swap a 2jz-GTE turbo engine or leave it exactly as it is! There is a weather strip that is supposed to separate the roof from the pillars on each side these are missing. I never replaced them because no one notices they are even gone and the rain drains off much better. If you want the car 100% factory then you could replace these for minimal cost. if you need a picture to clarify I can send. I am happy to work with your shipping company to get it loaded or you can pick it up. If you have any questions or concerns please address with me PRIOR to bidding. You will get two working keys, full tank of 93 octane fuel, and a wash and detail. We will need to go to the local tag shop to get a temp plate. If you are having transported I will find out the best way to accomplish this remotely. You see the quality, low mileage, and detail please I am somewhat negotiable but don't waste my time with ridiculously low offers. Car can be test driven as I have insurance, plate, and valid emission/inspection. You are welcome to have the car independently inspected. I believe these car will become collectable due to the low quantity and how cool they are. They have aged very well. Some people call them the 4 door Supra. Car is located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania (15 miles outside of Philadelphia). The last time I sold a car was on eBay to a man from NC he said he bought it because of the level of detail I put into the listing and he gave me positive feedback after his drive home hopefully you will feel the same if we do business together. Buy it now will require immediate $500 deposit. I have said a lot I will stop now as the pictures of this excellent example really speak for themselves. I am also advertising locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if I can broker a deal with a local. -Steve P
