WTB: Another IS300

[Goodspeed]

Sup fam,

I love my IS300 very, very much. So much so, in fact, that I'm looking to buy another one. I'm specifically* looking for a '03/'04 IS300 Sportdesign in Thundercloud Metallic (1D2) with black interior (leather, or leather/suede), in tip top shape with lower miles (ideally <75k). They look like this:



It's a fairly rare color exclusive to the Sportdesign trim (smoked lenses, unique grille, wheels, etc.). Auto or manual, doesn't matter (cue Maeng - though manual w/LSD would be easier in the long run, but whoa nelly that's rare).

I've got a hankering to slowly (s-l-o-w-l-y) piece together the parts to eventually build a LS-powered IS to be my ultimate, well, car. Stealthy, practical, and fun - and a TCM Sd would be a wonderful base to start with. My Millenium Silver is great and all, but TCM is where the heart lies. It does some pretty amazing things in the sun that don't photograph well, it seems.

*Not specifically looking for just this color anymore. See below.

Post script:

- There's exactly the one on Autotrader I'm looking for in Indiana that's already sold but heyyyy we'll keep our ad(s) up! In case you find their listing. I have Autotrader alerts set and try to check CL (including using autotempest search engine) now and then.

- Before anyone suggests I try driving an E39 M5, I did. Fantastic car, but just too big for me. The IS just fits me so, so well. Still, I'm glad I got that out of my system - and it heavily emboldened my idea that a torque-rich sedan coming in below the radar is the way to go.

So that's it - I figured the more eyes aware, the better. Maybe someone knows someone's grandma has one, or you might stumble across one in a used lot somewhere. I think we have a few members that have auto auction privileges, though I know not how that works, exactly. Anyways, you know where to find me. Thanks!
