Default Looking for a IS-F to buy, not much luck....

Maybe I'm being a bit impatient, but I'm looking constantly here, on Ebay, Autotrader, Cars.com, and car gurus for a IS-F, and I'm not finding much at all, well at least the "One". Any other places to look, and is there a secret IS-F facebook page?? I can't find one. Budget is 25-30K. Any help would be much appreciated.




Thanks
Steve

Expand your search distance. With these cars the "one" might be 500-1000 miles away. Where are you located?

I'm searching the entire country. Using craigslist doesn't work so well, because ISF, and IS-F don't seem to bring many results.

Well in the 25-30k range your gonna be looking at higher mileage MY08-09's. I found mine on cars.com. What part of the country are you located in?

Oops, located right outside of Philly. I don't mind 08-09 cars, I don't care about the lack of a LSD, and as long as the mileage is sub 70K or so, I am fine, its going to be a partial daily driver, and my supra's will be the fast cars.

I found mine using CarGurus and TrueCar. I liked those services because they gave some information regarding the pricing of the car relative to the local market. 2 months ago, I found over 100 IS F's to choose from. Good luck with your search! I picked up my 2010, clean CARFAX, with Borla installed, 35K miles for $33.5K. It took 3 months, but patience wins out in the end.

I'll try true car thank you.

I just found this car, it's perfect, emailed the guy, unfortunately he doesn't have a phone number listed, and it's in California, but I'll make it work. Hopefully he responds:

Looks and sounds like a nice car.

Fingers crossed the seller gets back to you.

Good luck with your search.
