That's not that great of a price in my opinion.

Guys, don't sell yourselves short....you guys have a very very rare and sought after cars! Even with the 08s having the most ISFs produced, they are still rare and hold value very well. Only time you NEED to sell these cars for below what they are worth is if the inside/outside conditions aren't up to par, or if the car has a salvage title, etc. Otherwise, get what the car is worth if you aren't in a hurry to sell. For example, socal3, in good shape, your car should easily sell for $30k. $26k is below market value. And remember, KBB isn't the end all be all resource to price your car.

What's the deal with these threads lately. No offense to the op, but I keep seeing these threads where people aren't happy with an ad.

I agree with you that there's quite a few F's for sale that are priced high.. but who really cares as long as it sells. I've noticed the is-f holds value really well and market price really fluctuates when it comes to location. Over the years I've seen similar F's sell maybe 10K difference depending if you're in Canada, West coast US or mid south.. the price really varies.

Probably paid a bit high but the car was in excelent condition and you don't get to see a 2013 on sale that often...... Just my two cents

a 2008 with that mileage for 30k... that isnt a deal. just fork up a little more money and get a slightly newer isf. no regrets

just look for 2011+!! 2013 or 2014 if you can find one for sale. you wont regret it (maybe look in the vehicle classified section there is a few isf's for sale)

I think the 2011 and perhaps the 2012s are the best deals to be had. The prices for the 2013/14s just don't justify themselves compared to what you can pick up the 2011s for. IMO the prices for the 2014s are ridiculous in most instances--it's the same car essentially and it's still a 2008 design overall. For the kind of money the 2014 are going for it would seem to make sense to go after something new, not sure what, but it's just a lot for an 8 year old model. And 60k for a 2013 vs 22k for a 2009....wow, that 60k could've nearly bought three 2009s at that price...

Same

You can find higher mileage 08's for <$25k. The op is way too high

It is to make people aware not to pay this type of peice for this car. Here is the deal. And I will educate you about prices of cars for the people that think ISF's should garner a premium. When people aren't buying these cars when they are priced reasonably, then you WILL NEVER get this type of premium amount. All is said and done and you are paying $34k or more for an amost 9 year old car with $100,000? Go ahead and buy it if you think it is a great deal. But no reason to knock my thread trying to inform people or simply trying to figure out where they are getting these priced from. Yes I posted 2 threads lately. That I don't think is an overabundance. Thanks for your opinion but I have every right to post this.

Thanks for posting. The threads are meant to help people not get ripped off by members telling others no to pay to much.

I don't mind these threads one bit. I like to see new threads pop up. I get bored just looking at new responses to 8 page long threads.
