I don't know where you're getting a "market value" of $25K. The cheapest 09 ISF listed anywhere in the country right now is the one the OP mentioned w/105K miles which looks like it's listed at $29,999, and the next cheapest one after that is $33K w/83K miles. I bet you could get them down to maybe $28.5 on that one with 105K miles.

The best deal I can find right now is that silver private party listing for $36K w/49K miles. Looks SUPER clean, comes with all service paperwork, and it's still under warranty. And it would be the same as paying about $33.5 + taxes & fees at a dealer. Personally I'd rather pay $3-4K more and get 1/2 the mileage, but that's just me. And you would also need to be wiling to travel and deal with buying from a private party on that one.

I'm getting market value from me myself and I because I sell cars and that's what my "book" (it's really an online database) says. You think dealers are going to sell at market value? How do they make money?

Sounds like your definition of market value is wholesale value, but that's not what the OP was asking. He's asking what a good price would be for him to pay as a retail customer, not as a dealer trying to buy it for resale. For retail customers market value is based on what the cars typically sell for on the retail market, and if the cheapest one in the entire country is $30k then the retail market value is clearly not $25k.

...OK, 3 1/2 years later - same question: what is a fair price for a 2008 IS-F with almost 110,000 miles. Northeast car... looks great in photos with a clean 8-year carfax history. I hope to go take a look next weekend. This IS-F averaged 13,500 miles each year of its 8-year history:
  • In service: July 28, 2008
  • 1st owner - 14,000 miles/ 14 months
  • 2nd owner - 47,000 miles/ 33 months
  • 3rd owner - 47,000 miles/ 48 months (4 years)
  • Manheim Auction: August 2016
Thanks for your insight, CL.

2011USBISF provided excellent information and advice. I'll pass on this one. My initial inquire remains, what is a fair price for a 2008 IS-F with almost 110,000 miles?? I feel confident buying a high mileage IS-F, as long as it was maintained well by and preferably by a CL enthusiast!

I bought mine for 25k with 94k miles a year and a half ago, You might try classifieds here, if I were to do it again I'd be looking there.

But again that varies greatly depending on the condition. The problem is going to be finding one of those.... The powertrain on these car are pretty bulletproof .............. I don't know what the exact numbers are but its something like 5,000-6000 made from 2008-2014 for the USA.
thanks so much for taking the time to share...I value your information and insight. I went through this type of search MANY years ago when I had to have an E30 M3. it took my almost a year to find a low mileage, unmolested example. when i found it, i pulled the trigger quick. problem was, it was so nice i ended up driving it to concours events and really did not enjoy it because i wanted to keep the miles off of it. i sold it for much more than i paid for it...those things keep going up! which brings me to my search for a higher mileage IS-F (the IS-F reminds me of the E30 M3 with it's skunk works history, unique body panels, low production, etc.). i plan on DRIVING the IS-F and enjoying it while feeling confident in Toyota/Lexus reliability.

thanks again.
