In about another year or two im going to be making my next purchase. Do you guys think i should buy a 2014 IS 350 or 2008 ISF, please give your reasons.

 

Advice on a car purchase in 1-2 years?
You can change your mind 100X by then.

 

you wan ta quick new car or a fast used car?

 

lol im a 100% sure between the two cars, im just trying to think which would be more worth it to get, I really like the new technology and f-sport look they added to the 2014 is350 compared to the ISF,but then again I really like the ISF's performance.

 

Well, if you will be in the market in 2014, then the '08 ISF will be a six-year-old car by then. I personally would rather have a brand new '14 IS350 F-Sport. But I suggest you wait till the '14 IS350 comes out, and then actually drive the car before making a decision.

 

350....what's the benefit of the '08-09 IS-F since it doesn't have an LSD? And the '14 interior is worlds nicer..

 

Since it's in a year or two, I vote 2014+ ISF

 

lol

 

The 2008 ISF doesn't have a limited slip differential.

The 2009 and newer ISF's get an LSD. That makes a big difference in track performance and handling.

 

2014 IS350 cost more than 08 ISF.

You could probably find a '10 ISF for the price of a 2014 IS350 by then, I would pick the IS-F

 

its kind of like, would you rather have a 335i with m package or the m3.

the smart buyer would buy the new car with 0 miles and full warranty.

the enthusiast would buy the highest special model with the badging.

i was in the same boat but obviously not the new is350. i was going to get the is350 until i actually drove the ISF. it's a night and day difference. i knew i would just buy ISF parts and put it on the is350 and i would hate myself when i pulled up next to the ISF. it was an easy choice. from the special stitched seat, yamaha engine, and the aggressive body lines, i never had a single regret.

even if you bought the 08, without lsd, the handling is still good and it's fast. simple bolt ons, you get huge gains and with the tuning finally coming out, people will be very close to 500whp mark all motor.

the new model does have nice interior, but so does the ISF. it's not like you are going from crap to nice. just nice to nicer.

now you have to tell yourself, are you the average consumer or an enthusiast and you will know which is worth it.

 

Fixed for you

 

youre gonna buy an is350 then upgrade it with some isf aero parts, might as well get the isf lol

 

or....you could get a ls460

didnt the 2012 ISF get a suspension update? Became more driveable but dropped some time off its previous laptimes
