I'm considering getting a remote starter installed on my IS300. I guess my question is... is this even possible with the key being a special key and all?

Hold down the Homelink button and then hold down the button on your garage door opener. The light on the home link will eventually flash rapidly and then slower. Then you're good to go.

Can someone tell me what year they started offering tan leather? I thought I saw a few 2002's with it but now I'm not seeing them anywhere.

After only two days on AutoTrader.com I sold my car... ... so it looks like my shopping begins sooner than I thought... :D I went and test drove THIS 2002 w/ 35,000 miles on it yesterday. It's in really good condition... one ding on the front right bumper and that's it. Listed at 24K... but I'm sure I can talk him down. As soon as the check clears and I get my current car loan taken care of I'm going to tell him I'd take it for $20 and see what he says.

Thanks for the replies. What I want to find is a silver one with under 60,000 miles for under 20k. They're out there so it won't be that hard (just might have to go a few hours to get one). But, I may have to get a pre-2002 to get that price (they're out there, but rare). Is there any specific reason I should stay away from anything before 2002? As for building one on Lexus... it doesn't look like there's a single option you can choose at all. After you select the car it takes you to an options package page with only one option package that you must select.

Hi, As soon as I sell my Accord I plan on buying an IS300 and was hoping you guys could help me out. I've noticed some ads for IS's with automatics specify that they have the special kind of shifting (steptronic maybe?) where you can shift your automatic. Is this standard on all IS300's that are automatic? One of the problems I have with my Accord is that it isn't tinted enough (especially w/ a 6 month old kid). From the pictures that I've seen it looks like some IS's are tinted more than others. Are the pictures just not showing the tinting very well or do they actually come with different tinting levels of from the factory? I'd prefer not to get an aftermarket tinting job done (never seems to end up that great). Any other advice would be great... things to look out for that common is messed up with these cards, etc. Thanks, Chris
