Hey guys!

Just picked up my ISF about a month ago and loving it!

1) 2008 Obsidian exterior on Black interior
2) Navigation and Mark Levinson
3) Black leather
4) I have been shopping for a new/used car for 6+ months and never found an ISF in my budget until I came across this particular one. I've considered the IS350, 300 SRT8, and also a Coyote 5.0 Mustang. I'm glad I chose the ISF, it's the best balance between sport and comfort for daily driving. (Although I do find the stock ride on the stiff side *not complaining :P)

5) No known accidents
6) Sunroof
7) Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Just joined the ISF family picked one up Saturday. I have a soft spot for any Lexus was (still am) in the SC game but always wanted an ISF. I already put a JoeZ intake and Borla exhaust on her. I already had the parts before I had the car..

So I just bought my 08 ISF 4 days ago and I have fell head over hills for her.( Wife rolls her eyes) So I was looking for a four door car because the wife wanted for me to have some thing to haul the soon to come bambinos. I had a 2010 Camaro SS and loved the power. I tried with a Jeep and that wasnt cutting it.. I sold it before I even changed the oil. I needed power. I looked at STI's and EVO's but once you got inside of the cars it really felt as if I was taking a step down from the Camaro. I mean my SS didnt have the most luxurious interior but damn does it hurt to put a little more quality in those other cars. For mid 30's you would think that they would do a little better. So I was going to drop some money on a Chevy SS and call it a day but then I found this car and fell in love. She fits my personality to a "T". So now I need to start modding again.... damn the cycle never ends.


1. Pearl white
2. Nav/ML
3. Black
4. Fell in love with the car
5. None
6. Sunroof
7. In HI for now but from TEXAS

here's what hard to understand
I love my F, and so does everyone else
a young guy came up to me in the parking lot the other day and said,
this is my DREAM car, and some day I will have one
so then, if it is the DREAM car, why did Lexus stop making it?????

Whats up CL, picked up my ISF about 3 weeks ago and loving it!

1) 2011 USB
2) Navigation and Mark Levinson
3) Black leather Alcantara Mix
4) Come from a long line of cars..starting off with Hondas. My 2007 Volvo S60R that i babied and loved died on me on July 4th .. Engine blew up due to faulty wategate. It was a hard pill to swallow but I spent 5K to fix it with the intentions to sell it and get an ISF. Searched for 3+ months and finally found the right one in Texas at a small family owned dealer... Having it 4 months they couldn't move it( not a single thing was wrong with it, fully serviced at Lexus its whole life, Lexus PPI stated it was a solid car. I found it called them on Monday and Friday went to pick it up and drove it 2300 miles back to Cali.. Best car buying experience in my life..
5) No accidents
6) Sunroof
7) Sacramento CA



Picking it up from the dealer...

I paid a little over 35K for it, Dealer and i worked out some issues with the car and but i had toi spend more on 4 new tires for the car so that wast cheap. I saved over 4K in taxes, titles and etc buying it in Texas vs. buying it in California and registering it in my Home of Record state. So that alone to me was a no brainier..
Id say i was happy for the car i got for what I paid. I will probably have to get the hood and front bumper repainted from some small rock chips ( **** like that) but its solid.. He had it listed for 41K back in June of this year.

Probably the best car buying experiences i have had.

Thats the best color you can get for ISF. Congrads! I had $33k offer on '12 silver ISF with 50k miles here, they wanted $35k too + 6.25% tax, I figured it was a bit too much....would need to buy all 4 wheels and tires too since it was on winter set. Dealer had it listed for $34990 for like 5-6 month with no sale, seems to be gone now though.

I would have to agree with you 100% on the USB.. Color.. I really wanted that color and was about to settle on a black ISF but I just had black with the S60R I had and wanted to move on from black. The Nebula Grey was next but my boy has one and I didn't want to be a creeper Lol.
So I was moments away from getting another ISF and this one popped up so I had to jump on it.. I think I'm the only one in Sacramento as I have only seen a white ISF here..

I only had yo pay 3.25% sales tax since I registered it out out of state.. some counties here asses upwards of 9.5 %..for auto sales tax.
However I did drop 1400.00 on a set of new tires so that really sucked but I feel more comfortable with the right tires on this high performance car..vs the all season Nittos that were on it when I got it..

Looking for the right one can be a challenge.. I looked for 100 days and my window was closing so thank god this one popped up because I didn't really want to settle but I did want an ISF.
