    And random fact, an IS300 is lighter than a MKIV Supra :)

    I looked on Craigslist and there is a yellow one for sale not far from me... wearing 20" chrome.

    Pity, I might have been interested in finding out if it was a manual trans, as it was I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

    What? This is perfect.

    You know it hasn't been thrashed on those dubs, and they have decent resale value on craigslist to put towards the required Volks!

    It's probably an automatic.

    93-98 N/A Supra 3,210 lbs. 51/49%

    01-05 IS300 3,255 lbs. 54/46%

    The Supra is not only slightly lighter overall, it has over 100 lbs. less on the front axle.

    That's a damn good price for that, minus the awful mods.

    $8900 with a rebuilt title is a good price? You must've missed that, because that's OVERPRICED for clean title examples around here.

    How hard/expensive can it be to swap a 5-spd into a auto car?

    Not terribly hard, but while the IS300 is a good car I don't know if it would really be worth going through the trouble of that if you're just going to use it for a daily. It'd be easier and cheaper to just get a BMW at that point.
