    Buying new car!!!

    Ok guys, I got this new job as a mechanic and making 1500 or more a month. I'm deciding to maybe keep the corolla and keep it auto. I'll just use it for shows and cruising. I'm head set on getting an IS300 cause its one of the cars I want and still if I decide to mod it, I won't be like every other guy driving hondas and nissans. Also its a rear wheel drive and I found one thats a manual too. Wish me luck on getting this car guys cause I'm gonna be heading to the bank by friday for a loan.

    I work at Dunamis Auto Service. Its the place that took care of my new motor and tomorrow we recieve my new transmission. I'm looking more into the lexus I found cause its got everything I want except the tan interior. It's a 5spd manual, sunroof, little rear lip spoiler, and rwd v6. I found it for only 14,500 and I'm still looking for a black or grey is300 with 5spd, but black interior.

    good news! My parents and I talked it over about the car and I'm gonna do a little road trip to buy it this saturday. :) Also since the car has vvt-i on it, I'm sure I'll still stay here on the forums.

    common mistake...i've seen a lot of dealers state that its a V6 in their ads...lol...
    btw, since its a 5 spd, i assume its 02+. For 14,500, thats a hell of a price man. Snatch it up while you still can....

    Ya I was so pissed off that they didn't put in the description that it has a salvage title. We checked on on carfax and the car was totalled twice and the last owner of the car got it from auction. I'm really wanting to get an IS300 cause its time for me to move up to higher end cars, but not too expensive for my needs. I'm not getting the one I got planned, but I found other ones I'm interested on buying. I'm gonna go to some dealerships here and see what I find. I'll keep you guys informed on my hunt for a new car cause I'm 100% sure of getting a new one this time. The corolla has been giving me hassle lately and its time to make it a garaged kept car for show or just say bye to it.
