There are a few benefits to buying used. Often if you get something with 20+k miles on it a lot of the kinks have been worked out and fixed by the manufacturer, it's like a pair of broken in jeans. The problem is-someone else broke them in :P Also, the worst part about buying brand new is of course the depreciation of the vehicle. Everyone knows-you drive it off the lot you lose $3,000.

Only $3K?
Much more than that..
Try getting a trade in number a day or two after driving off the lot.I think you'll be shocked at what the dealer will offer.

So far reading this thread.. If I am getting the IS-F it will likely be a 2010+ (less harsh suspension), and I am likely to install PPE header into the IS-F.. I want grunt power... I did track my IS 350, sway bar made massive different.. but the IS-F will not be track.. they closed our track in our city.

If you didn't like the 350 with a swaybar, you'll hate the F. I traded my 350 for my F. It's not at all the same.
Gas mileage isn't that different from the 350. All time average on my 350 was 22.x, on my F it's 21.x.
Brake maintenance is the biggest difference for regular consumables. Everything else is pretty similar.
