I would check the carfax but that's the 2nd cheapest ISF I've seen ever. I paid a grand more for a car with only 6k less miles on it. But So Cal is expensive. if you're in CO and the car is in TX I would just try locally if possible. Buying a 50k+ mile car out of state just seems too risky to me.

+1.

Unless the seller sending to you a free round trip ticket to see the car, save time and energy for local search.

Appreciate the feedback guys, but I've been having a really hard time finding a used ISF in CO, especially for under 40k. I guess I'll just keep watching and waiting for the right deal .

I'm trying to pay 63.5k for a new one and there are no dealers with blue ones anywhere near Los Angeles.

It's so hard finding this car!

Thanks so much for the offer, I really appreiciate it, but I think I'm going to hold off on getting one for now, and save a little more for one with a little less milage.

I am not sure if it is still available but there was a white one with just over 15k miles for sale at low 40k range in Omaha. I cant remember what used dealer. I know back in late September I was debating the USB I bought or the white one.

If I find the post I will try to get the link on here. I dont know if it will still be there though considering it has been a few months.

I couldnt find the post anywhere. It probably sold or went to an auction due to climate here in Omaha right now. Tough time selling rear wheel drive cars in the Winter season for profit.

Just as mentioned. If your patient you will find something. Most important thing is to jump on it when you have the chance. Seeing how many are available then try to pull together a list and state an offer. Worst they can say is no and if they still havent sold after a while and want to part away with it they will lean more towards your price.

Its what I did and got a 5,700 mile ISF for 45k. Dealer had it for almost 4.5 months and I was only serious buyer capable of purchasing. It was Lexus ISF of BMW 1m Coupe and Lexus came through first. Both fantastic cars in my opinion although I like Lexus set up better after riding around

Thanks for the advice, I'll definately keep looking around, hopefully the right one pops up.
