>>15586319
This

>>15586319
>>15586322
do they have manuals?

>>15586329

no but it does have 100 more hp than the 250.

>>15586335
do not want

>>15586318
test out both and then decide. lexus' are pretty reliable and tend to last a long time and i wouldn't normally worry about buying a car thats just above 100k. i personally wouldnt want to spend the extra ~10k

>>15586348
do you know how different they are between the years? They both appear to be 6spd

>>15586255
I'm a manualfag and I'd much prefer the extra hp over the manual transmission.

Get the 350 or get a different car. Like the g37. (not 35)

they made minor improvements over the years im sure but i wouldnt know off the top of my head

>muh manual

then go buy your little cuck mobile. You dont even get the mark levin sound system/navi with the 2 you listed and enjoy your carbon buildup.

>>15586451
what's wrong with wanting a fun commuter that has a manual? Also, what's this carbon buildup you speak of?

>>15586466
So then why not keep your current car if you have one and buy an e46 or e39?

>>15586485
>buy an e46 or e39
Yeah, no

>>15586489
Why not? Get one that has had the normal major stuff taken care of and has records. Don't believe the memes.

>>15586499
Paying a premium to get work done on bimmers is no meme my friend

Try for a first gen IS 300.

>FR
>smooth, reliable 2JZ-GE
>manual available

From the years of Lexus just being fancier Toyota with the same (or similar) models sold under different names elsewhere. It's not a racecar, and certainly not a 4-door Supra (you want a manual-converted Aristo for that) but it's sporty enough, reliable, and has just a bit of that boyracer charm to it.

He just can't shift. Ignore him.

Auto model pictured but that's the cluster.

unless you're getting the 300/350 don't fucking bother with an IS. LS and GS are the way to go

>modernish luxury
>getting the manual version
cmon

>>15586515
looks nice but i prefer the 250 exterior, any known issues with the 250?

The 2.5L V6 4GR-FE sucks ass. Carbon buildup issues are very common for these engines and it WILL happen. No amount of seafoaming will fix it because the solvent will not touch the problem area due to Direct Injection. The carbon buildup happens faster than you think.

And the booty responsible for kicking off the "Altezza lights" ricer trend.

>Altezzas and IS 300s
>not Aristos

With that said swapping a 2JZ-GTE into any FR Toyota sedan will make a 4-door Supra. Usually something that came with the 1JZ-GTE (Chaser, Cresta, Mark II) but a first gen IS will do fine too. It'd be a bit shit to do it to an Altezza RS200 since those came a Yamaha-tuned 3S-GE.

Turboing a 2JZ-GE isn't quite the same. It won't take anywhere near as much boost.
