I own one, what do you want to know? I do not own an IS F but I used to work for a Lexus dealer and spent lots of time in all years of the IS F. I would have purchased a 2013 IS F if I wasn't doing a house at the same time years ago.

There is an IS 500 sub forum where you can get lots of owners here...

Feel free to DM him and ask.

With the sad state of these 'NEW' cars lately, I am very picky on the cars I'd own. The IS 500 and GSF are on my small list of cars that I will purchase when needed in the future.
If my F gets taken out by these crazy drivers or hits past 400k, I wouldn't mind a medium/high mileage, well taken care of model of either of these cars

Thanks for all the information. I'm a Toyota/ Lexus guy. Have had them for years. I have now a 2012 Toyota Tundra, 2004 Lexus LS430, and 2020 LX570. I have also been messing with Porsche Turbos for years and have a 2011 997.2 Turbo S with low miles. I'm considering replacing the Porsche with the Lexus IS 500. I think I would use it a lot more. Thanks.
