Getting ready to pull the trigger on an 08 IS-F with 70k miles. Carfax and service history is clean. Always maintained at Lexus. Seller says that the car still has over 50% left on brakes and tires were recently replaced. Any other little quirks I need to lookout for?

As a good general rule of thumb and using it to your advantage,.....scope for signs of mods and use it to your advantage during negotiations.

Make sure the car has the rear view mirror TSB done....if not negotiate more..

Make sure you have IS-F tail lights as oppose to ISx50 lights....I believe a member had that issue...

I know the owner says the F has been treated like the golden child, but when buying a used car, especially one without the factorry warranty, you have to comb the whole car with a fine tooth comb......your comb with you doing the combing.....and not the owner's... Once you're satisfied, the F is a quality high performance car!
