So Long IS250.... joining the V8 crew

It's been fun... here's one last look at my IS250. Will be posting several items in the classifieds once I get them all cleaned up

I couldn't leave the Club Lexus family, so I traded in for a 2008 ISF with just 43700 miles. SO MUCH FUN!

Gorgeous pickup. Report back on the difference in ride. I'll get an F, but right now, I'm enjoying my little go kart 250

Nice upgrade. You probably had the best maintained IS on here. Good Luck in your ISF adventures. Sent you a PM on some parts.

Wow, low mileage! Someone really garage queened it, saving it for it's next owner, lolz. Huge upgrade from the 250, grats! If you don't mind sharing, what'd they get you for on it?

Yep, that is what got me interested in it. $30k after negotiating (listed at $32) which was the lowest I have seen an 08 with low miles. Couldn't pass it up.

I figured 30k was market price. I saw a 08 USB that loooked good, similae mileage for around 26k.

Nonetheless a good pick up, i see it has some mods on it already

It's got a front lip & deleted mufflers, but stock other than that.

KBB has this car at $32XXX, and truecar has them averaging over blue book value, so I'm quite pleased with the purchase price.
