The lexus dealer can't tell me anything, and the seller says it's all f-sport. Can you tell by the pictures? Is there anything that's a dead give away that it is/isn't dealer installed? I'm skeptical. Need your opinions...

This car does not have the F-Sport package but It does have the intake and exhaust. The brake calipars are painted.

That's what I thought too. What about suspension? It's def. lower - would the springs only have been installed with the sway bars?

Well the springs look like it could be an F-Sport but you gotta look underneath and take a closer look

Intake and exhaust could Fsport but cant really tell unless you take pics in there. The springs COULD be F Fsport looking at the drop but other than that, it doesn't look like it would have any Factory F-sport options. For all you know, everything could be aftermarket and you are buying a car where all those mods void any warranty you may have.

The car looks clean but I wouldn't buy a modded car. (unless the price is right) If I do the modding thats a different story. How much are they asking for it and whats the details on it

I don't remember what is in the F-Sport package (was that available on the 09-11?)

But spoiler looks aftermarket. The grill is not F-Sport. The shift **** is not F-Sport. Those hideous rims are not F-Sport and really rashed. The engine cover looks painted. And definitely not F-Sport brakes.

yeah if i i had to guess im about 99% positive this isnt an f sport at all. all i see from the pics is intake, exhaust, and it does look visibly lower. thats about it

I had the dealer take pictures - it is f-sport suspension, intake, exhaust. Painted calipers.

I like the wheels - they cleaned up nice and they even polished the rash from the CF lip.

They came down to 23k and Lexus says it's under factory warranty for 42 more days. All service records from the dealer, one owner, no accidents.

i would jump on it then. within the next 42 days i would take it in and get whatever warranty work i could think of lol

modlife

That's exactly what I asked the dealer and they said "do it- we'll take care of everything"

Also, the carfax shows little warranty repairs like a replaced trunk latch in October, so I know the owner took it in for little things, which is good.

I hate the spoiler, btw - I'm sure it can be replaced easily.

I'm so torn though - I do hate buying a car with mods, even if I want to do the same mods myself...

i wouldnt trip on those mods honestly. my car came with the f sport exhaust on it, i didnt trip that was just one less thing i had to buy on my own lol

I think I see blue springs here....have you physically looked the car over? The shocks should be "silver" Bilsteins that say FSport on them too. The car is also missing the front lip.

vapid2323

Heads up if you missed it but it appears that the car is missing one of the lug nuts on the wheels. Guessing this was a locking nut.

Hope they are not driving it like this.

That's not a f sport. Missing steering wheel, shift know, that exhaust sticks out way to much to be a f sport and not fit so well.. It's a fake
