We've been looking at the Lexus Vehicles for sale section on this site and it seems these cars rarely pop up.
Looking at 2008 IS-F's in good condition around $30k price point and seems hard to find a good one. Doesn't have to be local as we'll travel for the right car but must NOT be a salvage car or have a checked history/past. Mileage is pretty flexible as long as it's not 80-100k range. Same goes for mods, color, etc.
Are these cars really holding resale value that well or is the market just slim on inventory?
thanks!

thanks guys for the wealth of info, I will pass along to my buddy!
I know he prefers to buy a car that is well cared for by a forum member and has a documented history. A lot of those cars out there have such a checkered past
USB and Black are his top color choices but again not too picky.

I paid 47000.00 for CPO 2011 23k miles . I think that was a good deal. It was little cheaper than trade in value at the time.It sat on dealer lot a little longer and they were about to send it to an auction.

I bought mine w/ 47k miles for 35.5 just last week. I know there is one at the northside lexus in houston for 31,900 w/ 63k miles. It is silver, has intake, exhaust, and coilovers. It was pretty nice but the mods made me nervous. I am sure you could work out a deal for 31k....

Thats me. I don't want to sell the car but felt like it made sense because my wife is due in 2 months and I figured it made more sense to have a more family friendly car. I know the isf has a back seat but its really just for looks. haha. She had been dd the car for about 4 months. Go figure I buy it for me and she drives it... Well after talking with her over the past day or so I think I am going to keep the car unless someone offers my asking price or very close to it. She is going to start driving my 12 platinum f150 daily and I picked up a older dd. I like the idea of her in a 4 door truck with my new born. Nice and safe. So the isf will be a sunny day weekend car and I am prob going to order headers and a exhaust for the isf this weekend
On topic. I am asking a little bit more the black book private seller value for my car and I have had a few people pm me on it and text me about it over the past few days. No offers but lots of questions about it.

IMO I wouldn't be less inclined to get a car with 80k+ on it if it was maintained and most of the miles were highway. I've had a few cars with high mileage that I picked up cheap just bc they had more than 60k. My s2000 has 155k and runs better than most with half that. Just my 0.02$, and nice to see you over here and s2ki as well
