Thanks alot for your help! I was just a little concerned about the high mileage on the one I am looking at 162,000 km ( 100,662 miles ) but it seems to be not to bad for a 2001 especially.

Hey everyone, I'm looking into buying a 2001 IS300 and the buyer said the CD player doesn't work (common problem apparently) I was thinking of either buying a new head unit and replacing it or putting in a Pioneer AVIC. I was just wondering if I could see pictures of what it looks like. Any pics would be great. Thanks in advanced! Jimmy

How about the maintenance schedule? Obviously oil changes every 5000km is pretty standard for all cars. The car that I am looking at doesn't use synthetic. On a engine that has 162k KM on it do you think it's to late to switch to synthetic for extra protection? How about differential fluid? What kind does everyone use and how often is it changed out? Brake/Transmission/Coolant - What is the best and how often should it be changed out? Spark Plugs - How often should they be replaced? Thanks again, Jimmy

Hey everyone, I found a deal locally for a 2001 IS300 and I just have a few questions that I would like to ask owners. The car has a Odometer reading of 162,000 KILOMETERS (100,662 MILES), should I be worried about this high mileage? How reliable/solid are the engines on these cars? What are things I should look out for? - Anything specific that MY01 have problems with? - I plan on having a mechanic take a look at the vehicle is there anything that he should specifically look for that? How much is maintanence costs on the car? (Oil changes, Brake/Transmission/Coolant/Spark Plugs etc.) Anything else anyone would like to add would be great! Good or Bad! Thanks in advance! Jimmy
