poor girl was looking abused, but i'm glad they got it to the Twanksta shelter. i hope she learned to take a stand and a little self respect while there b4 u sent her on her way.

:-( i hate seeing such a beautiful girl taken advantage of.

glad u got her looking "top model" again!

To be honest I normally despise the IS300, I valet cars and always see them falling apart when they are fairly new, however this one was a special edition and it felt VERY NICE! especially for an 04. i would recommend looking for the Sport edition!
