Default Goodbye Lexus ISF

It is with a measure of sadness that I said goodbye to my 2008 Lexus ISF tonight. It was picked up by the Autotransport company hired by the California dealership to which I had traded it in. Bought in March 2010 at NORCAL with 5,000 miles and now headed to SOCAL with 27,900 miles.

It has been a source of great pride for the last 3 years and it truly is an awesome car. Really wanted to hold on to it but it does not make financial sense to hold it and my new car.

This has been a great board. I truly enjoyed being here and everyone, for the most part, have been truly awesome in sharing knowledge so we can learn more about the "F" and enjoy our collective experience owning it.

In the words already spoken by some, my "F" is gone but will never be forgotten!

It was truly awesome and I switched to a 2010 GTR.

I am excited about it too but I do know that as much as I know it will be an awesome car, I will always say Toyota/Lexus makes the best cars.

Will do once it gets here in a couple of days.

I'll be getting a 4 door again. Likely a nice used ES for a DD once I sell my built 240SX.

This is a GREAT board and I've been in a couple.

It seems like a lot of people get a GTR at some point after their ISF
Well good luck! You'll definitely enjoy your GTR!

Atleast it was a good trade! GTR's are badass, but so is the IS-F!

at least you can say you had the F at one point in your life. nice upgrade with the GTR. That car has endless possibilities . like the F, it's another car that can daily driven everyday , stay under the radar but faster than exotics.

I'm sure it does have endless possibilities. Having had Nissan's and an R32 GTR before I already know it will not be as bulletproof as a Lexus.

LOL...far from it. GTR would be my last choice in cars. That car doesn't do it for me at all.
