Default Picking up the F next week!

I just bought a CPO silver 2013 from lexus Las Vegas. I sold my problem prone audi RS4 last week and had been driving my wife's suv since. Can't wait to get back into a powerful sporty sedan again! I am in LA going to fly to Vegas and drive it back. Looking forward to it!

Congrats, is that a black interior car ? And the cool thing about the 2013 cars is Lexus only built 139 for the US market.

It has a dark blue and black interior. There's a 2012 with red interior for sale at a local lexus dealer but red is just too loud for me.

Congrats!!! This mighty sedan will keep you happy to 150k+ miles easily. There are a few members here are beyond that. I'm only at a measly 114k lol. Not the fastest or most mod friendly sedan, but she purrs and barks loudly whenever you want her to.

16k miles, asking $50991. Got it for $49700 before CA tax and license. I was willing to pay a bit more because of the color combo and CPO. Probably over paid?

I was tired of taking the RS4 back to the dealer every couple of months, and every time costing me >$1k to fix whatever that was wrong and not covered under the $4k extented warranty I bought. The service consultant there knows me on a first name basis and I thought it was time for a lexus.

I can most definitely agree with MK4Sup_isF. The car is just a great all around vehicle. Not the fastest out there, but it will be headache-free and give you enough thrill to not want anything that comes in a 2 door or require a serious maintenance/upkeep budget. Glad you got the color combo you wanted. Honestly, I don't think the price was high at all. For a vehicle that hasn't really been driven a lot, you got a great deal. And with its warranty still attached to it, there aren't too many that can beat that deal.

I would at least try to find something to cover the front end so that 1) you don't have rock chips or debris hitting the front (clear bra is ideal), and 2) so that you don't have to look at bug crap when you do arrive at home.

And BTW, if you're not too pooped out from driving your new beast, there is a So Cal IS F meet this Sunday. New F owner means a new opportunity to meet with his local IS F bretheren.

Enjoy the drive back home!

The car comes with clear bra already installed. Not sure if it covers the entire front end.
