I'd go for the IS-F.

I am not a fan of the rear on the IS Cs either. The rear on the 2IS/ISF looks infinitely more elegant.

I also remember you said you missed the thrust/sound of a V8. The ISF will better suit your needs in that regard. It provides you with more of that visceral experience you're probably missing given how quiet Lexus V6s are in general.

 

One day I want to get an F, I just can't justify the extra $$ right now, especially since 75% of my driving is in traffic.

 

F all day everyday! im not a fan of the convertible.

 

My dream is to own the F one day. If I were you, I would go for the F (that is, if money is not an issue).

 

I like big bOOties, but not the C's!

 

If you have the money to buy an ISF, then you could certainly drop enough coin to mod micaiah to FULL potential and have enough left over for a daily driver

 

^ true that

 

I'd say get the F. You'll love the power upgrade instantly. The IS C is fine, but it never really suited me. White w/ white interior is a classy combo, but the lack of cleaning on the outside is made up with the constant cleaning on the inside. It'd be hard to replace micaiah with all that you've done to her, but you'd get a brand new pallet to work with the IS F. best of luck girl!

 

I just got off of work, sorry I wasn't on earlier to see this thread and reply.

Well it seems the guy never returned my call with an answer about the damage or the approx price on the vert, so to me that shows that he is not interested in the sale.

I have no reason to give up Micaiah. An ISF is very tempting, but I would have to trade him in, in order to get this blue one. With the difference I would have to pay, I can get my back yard fully landscaped and then some. That kind of investment would pay off in the end, while this car's value would drop and there is never a decent return unless it's a classic car.

Trying to resell a white on white would be hard, and the upkeep a headache.

I really love the dynamic cruise, I found that to be VERY important now. These new ISs don't have that option. If I gave up Micaiah, I would never be able to find another car like him, ever.

Thanks for your input, everyone. There was a lot of things you all said that makes a lot of sense. I've spent all day thinking about this and waiting for the guy to call. I had an appt on Sat to test both cars, discuss a sale and what trade in would be. But since he didn't call when he said he would, I guess he's too busy. So I better not take up his time this weekend.

I better go adjust Micaiah's blanket. It's cold in the garage.

 

^^^ yeah... give him a kiss good night and let him know that he is safe :P

 

I was very tempted to buy a 2010 white on white 350C last year but in the end I couldn't deal with the white carpet.... so I declined the deal. If you really wanted to trade you car then I would go with the F in USB. One of my fav cars for sure. I would buy if I have a TON of money like you . I was considering buyin a used F but couldn't justify me spending 200 more per month. GL with your decision. Either decision you will be happy. Jus not as much money with the new cars lol

 

Get the F, then it's game over! Nobody can touch you after that.

I call dibs on Micaiah, ill match the trade in price at least you can still see him around since we live close
