Not sure if anyone noticed but the one the OP posted has a "salvaged title"

I'm looking to get back into another IS-F...if anyone has a white or black one for sale please let me know

i'm also ready to purchase a used is-f. been looking for one in the socal area for the past few months and have test driven a handful now, both dealer and private sales.

i'm close to purchasing a 09' w/ 25k miles for about $42k but i'm waiting to see how the wheels turn out (they said they would refinish the curb rash, take care of some scratches, and replace the rear rotors and pads. then i can decide if i still want the car.

i have to say, most of the cars i test drove pulled to the right. the owners 'didn't notice' but it was clear it pulled, so i had to pass.

Almost all of them do. The price on your car seems right. Is it certified pre owned?

Not a cpo buy since it still has the factory warranty left, I'm ok with that; probably just get exended warranty before factory one ends.

Exclamation

Here is why....!!!! It was totaled with 17,111 miles in the summer of 2011

This explains the drivers side exhaust section we shipped to a body shop in Nothern California towards the end of 2011....

You sleepyray are lucky! I just talked to my sales guy at Lexus of North Miami and he told me that my old ISF has been sold already, asking price was $36,500 with 57k miles!

as i stated at the other post....stay faithful, make sure you pull car fax, talk to the owner, and test drive it

Was this a clear title? Sounds like a ridiculously good deal if it was?

Everyone is waiting on 2013 redesigned IS...

Plus these are too expensive in my opinion. I'd pay no greater then 30k for a used 2008 F.

Consider this one in the link below if you will. I was interested in it but walked away after talking them down to $29k.... It's been at their dealership for sometime now too. I walked away after learning about the 2011's revised suspension and comes with LSD which the 08's don't.

Sorry but this comment is baseless... There is little difference between the 08-09 F and with low miles there is nobody willing to sell one for 30K NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! R title's may go for that amount, but clean 20 to 30k F's are in the 40 too 43K range.
