you are one year away from the improved suspension and rear end, look for an '11 before you buy

I think used car prices are up in general after looking on eBay and cars.com. still not bad. I would look in our Lexus Vehicle classifieds for ISFs that are tastefully modded and in stock form.

I think most of those cars are overpriced. Most IS-F around here have been sitting at the dealership for 5 months plus even after the price getting reduced by 3K under NADA pricing.

The market for the IS-F is small and there is a lot of new cool car coming out.

I can't wait to buy my F.

Thats a great deal on a 2010 if its OTD that is. I purchased my 1 owner car w 16500 for $40k myself. And your 2010 should have a rear Torsen diff if Im not mistaken.

2010 has the torsen diff. 2011 would have revised suspension, updated headlights and dash. 2012 has a further revised suspension and nicer wheels.

...I think...there were so many changes year-to-year its hard to keep it all straight in my head. I have a 2010 and I love it although I would appreciate the newer headlights and wheels. That said, I think $41-42k with that mileage isn't bad at all considering what I paid for mine 15 months ago.

NO his warranty may be up. Its 4 yrs or 50K.

I bought my 2010 in February with 21k miles for 42k . I think its a good deal but have a Lexus dealership run the VIN and give you the " in service date" . 4 yrs from that date is the date your warranty expires. I bought mine 6 weeks before it expired and was even able to extend the warranty through Lexus extra care

The warranty on my '11 just expired. Don't worry, you'll probably never need the warranty

^True. Besides my nav that stopped working, and was covered under factory warranty (not Lexus related, just an issue related to the nav), I can't think of anything else that would need a warranty on an ISF... maybe water pump? One thing I will always warranty though, is tires.

Tire warranties are useless if you track your car. There's no mistaking a tire having seen a track day.
