Yes he traded it in at Calgary Lexus, it still has headers on it that I am not sure the dealer knows about so that would be a nice mod for starters. His had reddish/purple brakes on it.

I'm not 100% sure about Canadian cars but you can create a login on the lexusdrivers.com site and put in the vin # of the car your looking at and it will give you all service records for that car (if done by a Lexus dealer).

Default Thinking of coming to an ISF from an M3

I just pulled the trigger on an 08 USB ISF today. 76k miles for $26.5k. Had to fly a state over for the blue and it's worth it.

I'm coming from an 02 WRX, 04 WRX, and 2013 STI. The ISF blows all 3 out of the water with no comparison, and I can't wait to slap on some headers and an exhaust. This car really is amazing.

4everkidd also has his HKS exhaust listed on Kijiji for $1500 which is a steal!

If I didnt already have Borla I would have jumped on it.

I almost bought it from him but it was hard to justify when I have an ISS forged already.

Worth buying? I might pick it up then. It's valve controlled too I see. I sent him an email, I think I'll just buy it.

I saw that 2010 with like 183,000km on it. It has a few accidents too. I'd love to know the story behind it haha

I had the hks Ssm and it doesn't nearly make the power of a borla cat back and then curren iss des
The tubing on the hks is smaller it bottle necks and it's Y design not a true dual with x pipe crossover. Went from 12.788's in the 1/4 to 12.55's with the borla
I think the hks only gains 16hp but don't quote me on it. There are dyno charts on here somewhere.

As I told the op best deal is the 2011 in Ottawa $34k Cad
With low Kms . Worth the travel.

I'll buy it if the M3 sells before it's gone, without a doubt. I sent him an email... If it's on the level maybe i'll just sell the M3 back to BMW, they will give me 49. Though I'd prefer at least 52.

WTF is wrong with it for so cheap though?

I have family in Ottawa, perhaps I'll have them go look at it. Though they aren't car savvy.

Ottawa Kijiji post is gone. I also noticed the odo pic was taken while driving. Irresponsible? Odd thing to do when you can take a better quality shot when stopped.

Here's an 08 for $31.5k in the GTA - the owner seems very meticulous judging by the detailed and concise description: http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Lexus/IS+...PO&orup=5_15_5 Includes a winter set too, but no Series 2 package.

Either way, I think you will find the right one - just a week or two ago, there were a total of 10 for sale in Ontario.

The one we are talking about has an electric cut out so it would likely gain power since when open it bypasses the exhaust. But I don't doubt HKS would lose power over the true duals since it's a single pipe that splits into two before the mufflers it's nice to see the numbers though thanks for sharing.
