Default how much would you pay for this IS-F

First post ever... I am looking to join the club very soon

I found a IS-F close to where I live. The car is a 2008 black IS-F with the sound and navigation options. It has 41,000 miles and is good condition. I found and big ding on the passenger side rocker panel almost under the car; you have to get low to see it. Also a long scratch on the passanger side skirt. Three of the wheels have a water drop size deep chip and the other wheel some curve rash. After driving the car there was some vibrantion from the tires; after inspecting them I believe they will need to replaced very soon. I believe the car comes just with one key and it doesn't have the leather cover.

Other than that the interior look really clean and the car pulled very strong. The Carfax shows that it has been serviced at the lexus dealership and the 30k mile service was performed.

The price is $34,000. How much would you pay?

Thanks

Go for it you wont regret it , thera are two key fobs and they dont come with leather or any kind of cover , but is very easy to get , tires you will need to buy to any car eventually, the deal w the rims , is a good reason for later upgrade to better looking wheels!

That's a great price.

If anything, I'd make sure the passenger side doors still have the white stickers with the VIN # on them...if the doors have ever been replaced, they will not have the stickers.

Do you have a trusted mechanic who will do a PPI?

Seems like a good price considering the mileage.

I just purchased a 2008 gray mica IS-F with 82,500 miles and the same options setup for $28,400 here in Texas. Interior was very clean, exterior too except for 2 small chips on the hood and under the front bumper.

I just joined to ask the same question basically.
Toyota dealer in town has a gray 08 with ONLY 33k miles. Asking 36,495... Super clean, few small rock chips on hood/bumper. Light scratches on back bumper from a pet maybe.
Curious what folks were paying for an 08. I think I'm gonna ****** this thing up!

Thanks for the replies guys. I though it was an OK deal but not a great deal.... the car is been sitting for 7 months at the local car dealer. The market for IS-F around here is very small; I have only seen one IS-F driving around.

Thanks. Yeah I think I am going to get different wheels when I need tires. I am weight reduction fanatic so I will probably get some light weight 18x9 wheels with some coilovers at the same time.

Will 18x9 +35 with 245/40/18 tire fit the IS-F? who makes good coilovers for the IS-F?

Thanks I will check the doors for the Vin stickers. I don't have a mechanic but I know a little about cars. I used to have a 700hp WRX that I build myself... I can't wait to get a reliable performance car

I just bought an 09 with 31k miles for $38,000 about a month back.

I think the car your looking at is well priced.
