i know its a toyota so its gotta be reliable. im thinking of trading my 02 civic si w/ 106k miles for a 01 IS300 w/180k miles with cash on his end.

Is this stupid?

 

Id do it,just to get rid of that dead end of a vehicle you have right now.

 

Your car is worth about 7-8k, and his is probably worth about 5-6k, and thats if it is in awesome condition. I wouldnt do it, unless he gives you about 1500-2k on top.

 

High mileage IS300 > high mileage EP3 all day,any day. And thats definitely not saying much.

 

I think his point is that assuming his si is tastefully modded or stock, he can probably get much more than what the is300 is worth, in turn, allowing him to buy a much better is300.

Mucho cash on top or dont trade...just my 2 cents.

 

thanx for all your input even the bad. you either love or hate a EP i think mines pretty nice and tastefully modded. im asking 9,500 for mine. heres the link to it showing what i got.

i was thinking 1200 to 1500 plus the IS since mines worth more value wise.

 

this guy must get beat by a whole lotta hondas... seems like every honda thread is laced with this dude hatin...

in the spirit of fairness i would say, whats your motivation? if youre trying to bump to a luxury 4 door with a little sportiness to it and you cant afford a new school TL then the IS is the way to go. just make sure you get someone who knows what the heck they're doing to take a look at it before the deal is final

 

yeah that comment kinda pissed me off but i just let it go

yeah its like a EURO look but the reliability of a Japnanese. well i want a luxury sport with a lil RWD fun. nothin fun about spinning the front tires hahahaha

 

when it comes to used luxury sport the IS is def top of the list. good luck with the search

 

The Is300 with 18000 miles on it in fair condition is around 6k.
