Default Traded my LS460 for an ISF !! Farewell to the LS crew !!

Hey guys, I traded my LS460 on Sunday for a 2010 Lexus ISF. We as a family only use our 2013 Sienna limited to go out so my HUGE LS460 would always sit in the garage on the weekends. Since the car was needed for its size and I have been longing for more power, more noise, and handling that didn't feel like a boat I decided to pull the trigger. This car is the exact opposite of the LS. Its small, loud, rough, and handles like a slot car. What I surprised to see if is that the ISF seems to draw more states and glances than anything I have ever driven before. My LS was a baller car. This ISF is a race car. Jeez just the sound it makes when you start it let alone that crazy growl when the induction system opens up at 4k rpm was worth the stress of getting a new car.

I just wanted to thank everyone on the LS forum for being so great, so nice, and so helpful. I look forward to the miles in my ISF but I will be back in the future when I truly need the bigger car.

PS for those few here who have met me in person and know that I am 6'5" and 280 lbs.... I do actually fit in the car pretty well . Lol. Its a four door that can only hold 3 people unless he fourth person behind me is an amputee

WOW, fabulous looking car! I love the color! Good luck with it!

We'll wait a couple days before we start bashing you for deserting us.

LOL. Much love to the crew buddy. I will be around but probably more in the ISF forum now.

Thanks guys. I actually traded the car with the Vossen wheels. The dealer gave me $800 over top KBB value for the car. The sales manager said straight up " Im not even going to try to mess with you. Your trade is immaculate" . He liked the wheels and gave me a little more because he knew they would be able to flip it faster with the wheels and good set of Michelins on the car. The ISF I got only had 21k miles on it and the last owner must have been OCD like me because the polish on the car looks insane .In the end my payment is lower on a car I like more and has 56K less miles .

Man , this ISF turns heads like crazy. I actually got into a little race with a red Tesla sedan this morning and DESTROYED him. It was too easy. Funny thing was the dude in the Tesla was probably in his mid 70s and had all white hair. I guess the racer in some of us doesnt die . This ISF reminds me of a tuner car. When you drive people are gunning for you because they know your car is fast . Thankfully the maturity level has slowed me down a lot. Gotta be responsible when you have kids

I knew this thing was fast but I still cant believe how fast, especially if you let the car go through a couple of gears to redline . WOW.

I keep flooring it because I love the sound it makes when it gets going

Congratulations on the car! Fabulous and good choice picking one up with the LSD. Any plans for mods (headers, exhaust etc)?
