Default Considering a Used Lexus

Hey all, I am new to the forums here. I am looking at buying a used car this year and have a few options. My current car is a 2007 Mazdaspeed and I am just getting tired of it. I have always wanted to own a V8 and after some research, it seems like the GS-F is the best all around bet for an enthusiast like me. They are going for about 60% of MSRP on the used market. However, I also think the LC500 is gorgeous and would be willing to consider it if it dropped below $70k used. I really am undecided... but I figured I would register and say hi.

Other cars I am considering are the Civic Type R and the Giulia Quadrifoglio. I know my class selection is all over the place but the truth of the matter is I can afford all these cars- it's just a matter of how much I want to pay and what each car is lacking. Only issue I have with the CTR is that it is butt ugly. Non enthusiasts would judge me and I'm sure I would get plenty of attention from cops. Any wisdom or experience is welcome!

I've actually been researching the used market of the GS F and RC F recently. I've got about a year left on my lease and am wondering what my options are.

RC F will be a lot more bang for the buck if you want the performance. However, GS F's are commonly available certified in the low 50's. I'm noticing it's a lot harder to find a low-mileage RC F however.
