Tried to buy this one 2 months ago at a dealer 45 miles from me. I couldn't believe it when it popped up on cars.com. The MRM color I wanted, black interior, 2014, and only 4k miles. Buuuuuuut all the lexus dealers have their stupid "Plus" pricing that they won't negotiate on and they were asking stupid money for the car. I wanted it and yea it's rare but I couldn't justify a 10k premium over a 2012-2013. They wanted 53500.00 for the car lol!
Yup. The prices I've seen in no way justify the headrests and spoiler of the 2014. There was a beautiful MM on Carmax when I first started looking for 52000. At the time I thought that sounded good and then I got my 2011 for about 20k less than that. I think back to that car every now and again when I'm driving and wonder if it would have been worth another 400$ per month and my answer every time is hell no.
I just recently bought my 2011, was searching for months. All years are difficult to come by, except maybe the 2008 which had the highest production numbers. I buy/sell more vehicles than the average guy which means I'm always watching the market. Believe me when I say, these cars are harder to come by than most. Good luck on your search!

i don't think the price is that bad, the car is practically new, I won't find another one,
I only wish it had the red 2014 interior.
i thought they stopped offering full black leather seats in 2011+ unless you got the white or red interior? I was under the impression black interior only came with Alcantara..
The 2014 with the F headrests had the all black leather seats and alcantara on the door and center console, different than the rest of the model years
yeah but they are few and far between, basically unicorn. I just wish the "F" on the headrest was on all ISF kind of like how the "M" is on the headrest of the M3.
but like stated above the price is crazy for headrest, trunk lid, and interior trim. but then again the car is only 2 years old so I guess it makes sense
The F headrest is a nice touch, but the Alcantara looks as good IMO. That and the leather in the pic above is already buckling on the seat.
You're right, 8 year old design, by again, the car us only 2 years old....as stated above. Most of them have no problem selling time they pop up.
But I know plenty of things that has an "old design" but fairly new but holding excellent value! And again, the IS-F was ahead of its time in 08.... fastest shifting automatic transmission, fastest shifting peddle shifters on the market, worlds first 8 speed transmission, etc etc etc. 8 years later we're still enjoying everything the F offers...and I guarantee people will still be enjoying everything the F offers another 8 years from now! Can't say the same about most vehicles 8 years old plus!

Most people think I'm screwing with them when I tell them my car is a 2008 with over 100k miles, even had to get the record book out to prove it a couple times. I think the F will age really well in the future, except the interior design maybe.

haha I've had the same happen. folks don't believe its an 08 with 100k miles cause the car was in excellent condition when i got it. my homie here at the lexus dealership even told me "dude you found a good one. only thing i see is water pump replacement and you don't have oem wiper blades" lol
