I actually watched the listing for this isf for a few weeks but I didn't jump on it because of the high mileage. When it was taken down I asked the seller how much it was sold for but never got a response.

I hope you enjoy it!

Sellers usually dont care to tell once the car/item is sold and gone. That is definitely the cheapest ive seen one sell for, but also probably the highest miles.

That's a sick price, even with high km's, probably highway miles anyway. Price range of a beige corolla

I just took it out for a little spin without my wife or kid.

Good. Lord.

What a car. A mustang wanted a piece of me, I'm pretty sure he is still at the light.

I really feel on top of the world right now. I have the IS-F for the weekend/family car and the GS as my daily driver.

Yup, apparently the owner lived in London, on and commuted to Toronto, on (about 200km).

Funny you say that, I live in London, my Lexus dealer was suppose to get an isf on trade with high miles but owner changed his mind. He was commuting to Toronto for work. I spoke with few employes there when I go in for service (mechanics, service reps) they all wanted a piece of it, for cheap lol. Anyway, enjoy your new ride, I bet it has a lot of life left in it.

Hopefully once you get comfortable with it you'll come out to the track, enjoy your new car!

Which track? Where?
I'm not ready yet, still getting used to her, but I may be interested next summer.

Just an update for those who are wondering about reliability.
I had a vibration at highway speeds, it turned out to be two damaged tires, the used car dealer quickly replaced them and even provided a rental car (Signature Motor Car Inc), now it's smooth and stable.
There are no issues with the car at all, every feature works 100%
The only flaw was the white leather was a little worn, so I had it refinished.

I do have a couple interior rattles over large bumps, but only when hitting bumps, no rattles or noises even on the highway. I 'fixed' the glove box rattle by placing the manual on the top self. There is still a rattle in the A pillar that I can't figure out, but like I said, only when I hit a large bump.

Congrats on the purchase!
From the looks of it the car does seem to be on stock suspension.
