Not an IS ...

No sport seats , or mtech steering wheel or OBC or maplight mirror.

[JinormusJ]

Oh wow... Good catch.. Totally forgot about those options...

Why do you say that's clean? It's a shitty looking non oem color respray (or just crappy paint, can't tell from the pics), with visible dings in the pictures (see hood for example), which means it's MUCH worse in real life. I've never heard of the door handle breaking (although someone else may have, it could be common). Interior is meh, fugly head unit...rear valence is completely fucked, and it has almost 300k. I wouldn't pay 2k for that car.

Door handel breaks because of race car?

[CHIF8008]

because MAD MAN

[ButtJuice]

That car doesn't look too bad, as long as the motor has been some what rebuilt like the ad says. But obviously there isn't any proof of that. & converting an 'i' to an 'is' is ridiculously easy/inexpensive, as long as you can find some decent shaped sport seats w/o having to reupholster them.

still wouldn't be a door-tag iS

[ButtJuice]

True. but does that matter? Unless you're eventually trying to sell it as a true 'is'.
