Hello,
I am new to this forum and I am seeking feedback from current ISF owners. I currently drive a 2012 Lexus IS 250 F Sport/ Ultrasonic Blue. Before this car, I had a 2007 Chrysler 300 C SRT8, thus, the power differential was a shock to me. I understand the IS 250 is a LUXURY car not a muscle car, but the speed it has is just sad. Now moving on, I found a 2008 Lexus ISF with 97k miles for cheap. I was interested in buying it, but I have concerns with 97k. What should I look for ( signs of abuse)? What type of maintenance should I expect after 97k? Will it be worth buying extended warranty?

100.5k miles here! Feels awesome as ever

As you can imagine, we can't share advice if we don't know the asking price. That said, the mileage is insignificant, it's almost broken in.

I say go for it....you only live once!

As for warranty - it will provide peace of mind, so not a waste of $$ IMO

126k and just regular service................still hauls *** like day 1.

Mileage is ok for an '08. Ask for a much info on it a possible. With an older MY, I'd look into water pump, extended warranty, and maybe electronics as items of concern.

I LOVE hearing things like this.

A service history would be helpful. Since the car no longer has MF warranty, it won't qualify for an exclusive policy, which covers everything except what is specifically excluded in the policy, at a reasonable cost.

They may say you can still buy for one and it's most likely an inclusive policy EW, and it aint worth !@#$ after you read and understand the policy coverage fine prints.

not to hijack this thread, but i did test drive the is-f today and OMFG!!! its a beast, especially coming from the IS250 (turtle) but is it worth it? $31k with 90K? looks good though with only 2 owners..I did test drive the USB but a little over my price range...

I say yeah as long as it's not gonna be your daily

I paid 39K for an 2008 isf with about 26k miles on it and one owner. I got the car in 2010. I now have about 65K on the car now. No problems so far. Changed my hood shocks under ext plat warranty.

So 31k with that much mileage....I dont know.....

Unless thats the going rate, id look for newer with less miles.

I paid $40k for mine if that helps, 1 owner car w 16500 miles when purchased last month. I think a 2008 w that amount of miles should be $27-29k personally. At the sellers price I would look for 50-60k mileage cars instead.

If the car has been maintained and not abused then its just getting broken in really......This car is just about bulletproof.......if it was an M3 I would say no....lol..go ahead and pull the triger
