Make sure the 60k service was done, that includes spark plugs and differential fluid flush. Also check for water pump leak. Take the VIN and put it on http://owners.lexus.com to see which dealership serviced the car, and you will be able to see full service history for free.

Mileage is no issue on any Lexus, the ISF is no different.

Wait what? Spark plugs and diff flush?? Our spark plugs are good to beyond 100k and diff fluid is supposed to never be flushed and changed out unless you want to analyze it.

Lobuxracer has noted this before.

thanks for the info man... just look the VIN# at lexus and it says water pump was done at 74k miles but las service was at 35k

there a couple more things done after like battery check and special service campaign (whatever that means?) and another one at 81k said (front/rear body)

any more help would be appreciated.

thanks again.

And I'm freaking out now that I broke 30k miles. Good to know that the F is such a beast.

Well as soon as I get the car here in north carolina I'll post pics! I bought the car from lexus of mobile

I wanted something 4 door, automatic but still kind of fast, the ISF was a no brainer!! Especially for me buying used instead of new, cause from what I read they are more realible than comparable vehicles from other brands

I got rid of my ISF at around 75k miles and literally had zero issues except for the disc-changer jamming on me.
