IS300 5-speed manual anytime soon??

i highly doubt lexus will bring a manual in december. very very very unlikely, and not cost efficient. no reason to not wait until the 2002 lineup to start producing it. cars are still flying off the lots as fast as they come in. hopefully when the 2002 sticks come in ill sell my 2001 for maybe as high as i bought it if demand is still high. if not im more than sure i can sell the IS for at least 30k, then fork out another 8 grand for the manual and nav system. id hurt to have to eat the full 8 grand but i think you get what you pay for, and im paying for the fun and better things in my life. isnt life grand for a 20 year old? haha.

ckolsen: i was saying the worst case scenario would be that i could sell the IS for 30 k next year. i bought the car for 38k this year, so if the price were to stay the same, give or take a few hundred, then i would just pay the difference on the 2002 model. get it?
