So it's a bit of a basketcase:

It's lowered...slammed really. The rear tires hit the fender liner on even the smallest road imperfection. OEM suspension is already on its way.

The front and rear bumpers are both badly chewed up. See above.

The "exhaust" (he just cut the mufflers off) rattles the interior at certain RPMs

The rearview mirror is laying in the backseat

It's clearly been in a wreck, though the history report and title are both clean

The jackass removed the Mark Levinson sub prior to selling it to me, so there's no bass.

There's a frog wedged in the grill. Then I ran over a lizard on the drive home. This thing hates reptiles\amphibians

That being said it's fast. Deliciously fast. Non smoker, no lights on, no leaks. Oh, and I got it ridiculously, ludicrously cheap.

And cheap forgives a lot of sins.

So, anyone got a lead on a Mark Levinson sub, or an OEM IS-F exhaust in Texas? Anyone know the model of wheels on it? I sleuthed around the OZ Racing site, but can't seem to find any info on them...

If it was gallon of milk cheap, he stole it. The cops should show up shortly.

I really like those cars. Check clublexus.com for a used exhaust; or better yet, order a joey z exhaust!

Once you put some miles on it please tells us what can of mpgs you see.

I was behind one of those on the way home, and kept thinking to myself how much I like the way they look, sound, and likely Toyota reliability.

Except for those ridiculous exhaust tips

It's amazing what people do to perfectly good cars. That being said and depending on the price I think you might have made a good score. Oh and those tips, like irish said.................ridiculous.

Think about the cheapest once you've ever seen and deduct about $5000

The all knowing ECU tells me 20.5mpg lifetime average, though in my experience they're optimistic. My drive home was...significantly less frugal

I got a 2011 new. I loved the motor but the ride was pretty stiff for a daily driver. It's heavy and eats consumables on track. Fairly bulletproof although I had a friend lose two rear wheel studs at Homestead. Never did find them...

If it came in a coupe version with a manual trans, I'd still have it instead of the FRS I replaced it with.

A cheap isf is berking awesome. Put a joez exhaust on it, an alpine sub, and beat it relentlessly.

Nice, just needs a little, ok a lot, of TLC, but you have a heck of car there.

I love those cars and I don't think the exhaust tips are absurd. Pretty much the best color they came in. Unberkeley the suspension and drive the wheels off it.
