Default Used ISF's on Ebay

Why all the sudden are there about 4 used ISF's on ebay with only about 5,000 miles on them? These people are going to be taking a big hit on what they are asking to what they paid. Maybe gas and a big payment a part of it with the economy being so up and down. I just dont get it

We've already had two people at my dealership turn them back in because they couldn't afford the payments. Not sure why you cant figure that out before you commit to buy it...but yea

could be because they wanted an everyday driver, and although awsome fun to drive mine everyday, the early morning drives into the office aren't too comfortable at all. When your not in the mood to drive wide open or pretending to be a road racer, it can be a bit rough. I have right at 1,300 miles on mine and have found driving my '02 TDI Jetta into the office, a comfort upgrade!

good deal for someone looking for an IS-F, 5k miles is nothing, and someone ate depreciation already

I spent 10 hours behind the wheel of my IS F driving from Vegas to the bay area and even my wife commented that it was very comfortable.

I disagree - I actually find the ride to be very forgiving for such a high-performance vehicle. Of course it will not attain the buffered road-driver separation of the LS, but it is excellent for daily driving.

Mileage may vary on road quality, though. I'm sure those who live in areas where roads are very bad may not find the IS F fun for daily driving at all.

I agree, I recently drove from Dallas to Austin and absolutely loved the ride, it wasn't bad at all! Since I've been in Austin I can't complain about the ride either, I love the way the IS-F rides for a sports car, I don't think it is rough or horrible by any means

2nd that. On long rides, I usually just adjust the seat back and just sink into them and just enjoy the ride. It's so comfortable that I could literrally fall asleep.

I saw a NM edition IS-F on ebay, it was missing the exhaust tips. Looks really crappy without it.
