"new" isf tonight
2010 ISF, Matador Red Metallic. Just picked her up tonight in Rochester, NY after driving 2 days from Atlanta. Well worth the long drive. 1-owner car who put all of 13,755 on her (averaged 2,870 miles/year)! This was just one of his "toys" as he has 4 other cars. Traded in this ISF for a C63 AMG because "...I never drive the ISF anymore". What's up with that?
Basically a "new" car in pristine condition. Plus, it already has a clear bra on it!
I previously owned a 2008 ISF that I drove for 7 years. Mileage was hitting 100K, so traded it in on Audi A5 Convertible about 4 months ago. Nice car really, but a hard transition from a 416hp "beast" to a 4 cylinder turbo Audi wussy car. I'm back in an "F" to stay! Best car I have ever owned, a blast to drive, no trouble, looks cool, sounds awesome...WTF was I thinking on the Audi anyway guys?
Well, I got my mind right and have a 15 hour drive back to Atlanta to bond with the new ISF! I'm sure I'll be back in love long before I get back to Atlanta...LOL!

Bad *** man Congrats. I looked at this one and it was awesome but i was afraid to make the drive from upstate NY all the way to Cali , getting caught in any crazy weather. It was the third color I liked but not what i "really" wanted ( the USB). However you cant beat the miles. I'm sure they gave you a good deal on it because they have had that bad boy since July and i know they wanted to move it.
You sound like my boy who had a 08 ISF then went to a few other family haulers to then a 10 BMW M3 and then after about a year of that he said he couldn't do it anymore and found a solid 2010 ISF and loves it.. Thats when you know you love a car when you find you way back to it..
Enjoy your drive back. I picked up my ISF in Houston and drove 2300 miles back to California.. loved every damn min of that drive. It was insane..

Congratulations and welcome back! Nothing like coming back to a car you're already familiar with.
Funny, another member just posted yesterday about the F you just bought. You beat him to it!

Token...yes they were very motivated because they know if the snow starts in Rochester it won't stop until next April/May, and they might be sitting on this car all winter. I know...I lived there for 4 years (1988 to end of 1992) and it sucked. They started at $42,913 in JulyAug; pretty much in line with KBB and NADA Dealer Retail. In early Oct. dropped it to $39,913, late Oct. to $37,913 at which time I got serious. While going back and forth they dropped it to $36,913. I got it $36,000 even! Whoa...awesome deal on a 1-owner, low mileage 2010 ISF. So, I closed on it last Saturday and got up here.
J3ff, yes that is it on Cars.com! Glad I pulled the trigger before this gentleman did. Hesitation gets you every time. There are a couple of other really low mileage "F's" out there, but not at this good a mileage/year/price combination. I was lucky and timed it right for once!

I've seen a few IS F owners sell theirs only to come back again, and it's great to see you still have that love and care for it. It definitely looks like a great ride in terms of condition. Perfect timing for you to get it when you did. TIme to get reacquainted with your IS F. Enjoy!

Looks great and congrats.
This is the thing, I have 1 year until I can change my car and tbh I don't want to. I'm seriously thinking of buying it from the company shipping it to Dubai and keeping it there as a track car since they actually have a track.

Congratulations and welcome back!
I'm in Atlanta as well and there's a few of us F owners who get together once a month or so to drink beers and talk **** about cars. It'll probably be after the holidays until the next one but if you're interested let me know.
Enjoy the drive home!
