Hello, just picked up my first ISF. I'm in Golden, CO (10 minutes from FIGS engineering!) Thanks to the members on this forum already answering my questions, it has been a wealth of knowledge! Got this as a summer car, in the winter I drive a Magnuson supercharged 2016 6MT Tacoma. It was a lot of fun before it got cold and snowy around here, so for now it's in the garage for a few months.

1. 2008 MRM with 36K miles
2. Nav/ML
3. Black
4. Bought from a local Toyota enthusiast that had searched for months to find it, then decided less than a year later to get a GR Corolla in manual. He bought it from a Lexus dealer in Ohio (luckily was always garaged / never driven in snow, so the body and undercarriage are pretty clean). He put 8K miles on it in under a year and had old PPF removed, paint correction done, replaced water pump, and had ceramic coat applied. I had been looking for a few months and this popped up literally 30 mins from me in Boulder.
5. Clean Carfax, 100% dealership service history. Has never had the valley plate done, so banking on needing that at some point but for now no coolant consumption. Just some PS4S on it and have bought the FIGS LCA bushings, 2013 shocks and springs for install after we're out of winter. Going to keep it as close to 'factory' as I can as I went hard on the mods and tuning on the Tacoma!

Yup....will correct this spring. Though telling costco they were corner specific when I got my new tires on resulted in them writing in my warranty docs that the mileage warranty is halved due to inability to rotate. They still screwed it up. At least the price was great and they didn't scratch them. .

White 2008 ISF
Nav
Sunroof
First Lexus
No collision history

Car was going to be wholesaled because our dealership didn’t want to pay to install catalytic converters on it. Saw it and knew immediately I had to save this legend from the auction yard.

Afternoon all! New to the forum, long time lurker and finally had the opportunity to purchase my dream car, the ISF!

1. 2012 MRM with 165k miles. AFAIK, 1 of 550ish produced in 2012, and of those, 1 of 50ish produced in MRM!

2. Nav/ML
3. Black Alcantara
4. Flew to Houston, TX and drove it 800 miles home to North AL. Purchased for 21.5k about a month ago. Car isn't perfect but is in great shape for the age/mileage. I've done quite a bit of maintenance since acquiring it to include 285/255 Firestone Indy tires, OEM plugs, cabin and air filters, all fluids (except coolant), Moog DS wheel bearing, rear SPC UCAs, alignment. Car came with PPE UEL headers installed. The only 'mods' I've done so far is installing Morimoto dual mode fog lights and a Blackvue dashcam. I reinstalled the HPS intake hose and RR Racing AOS that the previous owner removed in preparation for selling. I've done a lot of small things such as replacing missing/broken fender/cover clips, straightening out smashed pinch welds. Mod wise, I plan on doing an X-Force valved exhaust paired with an RR Racing Tune down the road - also will soon be installing a Grom VLINE unit. Maintenance wise, I have to plan to do the valley plate reseal, valve cover gasket replacement and maybe a rear main seal in the next 6 months to a year; she currently has both a minor coolant and oil leak (was able to use this to negotiate down when purchasing the car). I've put 3000 miles on the car since I got it and it is SUCH a blast to drive and is everything I hoped and dreamed for. So happy to finally own one!
5. Clean title - CarFax showed 2 minor-moderate incidents several years ago. Having worked on the car quite a bit since I've gotten it (maintenance, etc.) I can pretty confidently say damage wasn't overly significant.
6. PICS, PICS, PICS!!! <-- Say LESS! I'll post a link to a video as well of a small mountain run I did over the weekend - the induction noise is intoxicating!
7. Sunroof
8. In North AL - Huntsville to be specific.

Link to little mountain run over the weekend:
