Considering a high mileage F...
#16
I just bought my 2011 with high miles. I think I got a pretty good deal though at 32k the car had
85k miles on it. my buddy is a master tech at Sewell and he looked the car over in the dealership and said it has had an easy life. highway miles I guess. 68k miles is nothing for an F. but what is the price?

I kinda wish I would have skipped the warranty. after being on these forums, I realized there are quite a few things I can fix myself and the majority of the things that go wrong are recalls anyway. I wouldn't get the warranty. just my opinion though. my warranty cost 3k for the platinum. I get mad when I think about it

OOH, I'm getting really close to pulling the trigger on this. It's not as much of a no-brainer as i thought it would be though...I keep going back and forth between the ISF and an S4. Too many good cars out there, AAARGH. Even got crazy good financing at 1.49%.

Audi builds beautiful and fun to drive cars, but they won't touch the F for reliability. A toyota with high miles has WELL over 200k, and even then they are good if the basic maintenance was performed.

No matter the pedigree of a brand or the history of its reliability, I will always purchase an extended warranty for an expensive car...key word expensive.
Well this doesn't apply to low-cost German cars...I think a warranty would be prudent even for a $30k German car. Hahaha

Honestly, I think this car can go 200k miles easy.
I've beat on the car so much and all I ever had happen was the water pump leak, which many IS-F's have suffered from.
Other than that, you are not taking any risks purchasing this car at 68k miles.
If you were looking into an M3, etc. thats a whole different story.

got my 08' USB IS-F with 111k for $22.9k. Clean Carfax, 2 owners Verified that the 110k service was done as well as on time service for the last 5 years all at Lexus, new rotors and pads less than 10k ago and brand new michelin tires less than 2k ago.
I am very happy with the purchase

Knock on wood one of the most reliable performance vehicles ive seen to date.. Put it to you this way.. I have had my F for 4 years and at 100K from owning at 12K, beside cost of tires, I have only had to spend $3200 on maintenance, and 900 of that was replacing radiator....So, you decide lol...Almost as low maintenance as my scion or equinox aside for difference in oil capacity/amounts, etc. If you want a great performing reliable car cant think of a better option.
