" Now for the history of this car, it was involved in a light collision to the front. The front bumper, right headlight, right fender, and radiator support were replaced using OEM Lexus parts.
There was no damage to the frame, engine or the suspensions.

This car has been repaired all the way and has been brought back to its original condition. All damaged parts were replaced with original OEM parts. All repairs were done at a professional shop with extensive experience in foreign cars. This car came out like it was never wrecked; repairs done to this car were one of the best ones that we have seen.

Please check our 100% feedback rating. your satisfaction is guaranteed!!! "

LOL I'd take it for 28,000

Salvage title or not....$35k does not sound bad at all considering it has been repaired!

Hmmm, not a bad price at all I'd be weary of the salvage title and would recommend checking out the car in person before purchasing since pictures can sometimes be misleading

If you are going to keep the car for long time...not a bad price but if you are going to sell it after a year or 2...It may be tough to get good $$$

You have to ask yourself one question - WHY did the insurance company write it off if it was economical to repair? They NEVER do that, so there's something (or somethings) we don't know and won't ever know.

The only way I'd do this is if I bought it wrecked and fixed it myself.

Hit that bad, I'm sure the interior had to be redone to as airbags would be popping all over the place.

Totally Agree Yeah, Im sure if it was a "light hit" the insurance company would rather cut a $50k check to the owner over paying $15k for the front end. SURE

lol sometimes, people pull some crazy tricks with their insurance companies.... atleast in Miami, I have seen some real LIGHT HIT's get "SALVAGED" and the owner's received a nice check or a new car.

Light hit on a 95 civic making it salvage, yes... Light hit on a $60k car thats still worth at least $53k on paper is equivalent to $40k in damage before they total it out. How light can that be?

I didn't know IS-F's were "hard to find and rare"??

Look at the bright side..

You get:

A cool roof spoiler, F-Sport Shift **** and wheels that were installed BACKWARDS!!
