I'm back!
 

As of a couple of hours ago I am a 2012 Mercury Metallic IS-F owner. I won't take delivery of the car until tomorrow or Friday, but the paperwork is done and I'm now tooling around in a loaner IS250.

I had a 2008 IS-F a few years back. I really enjoyed that car so when I started looking for a new daily driver that would be both fun and somewhat practical I decided to go with another F. I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my new toy.

I also want to give a big thanks to Chris over a Sewell Lexus for taking care of me on the deal. He owns a 2011 F and goes by FsportDFW around here. It was nice dealing with a fellow car enthusiast.

I will post up pics when the car arrives.

welcome back!

Welcome back! We need to get a bunch of us together and go to Cars and Coffee!!!

I would love to go. I've never been to Cars and Coffee as I tend to stay in Tarrant county most of the time. I might try to go in June once my son's baseball season is over. I'm always at the ballpark on Saturdays right now.

Welcome back! This is one of the first forums I've seen people sell their older models cars to get the same model but newer...thats awesome. It really shows what a truely complete car this is.

So I take it you really reaLLY super dooper like cabinets?? :D

Nice to see yet another old F owner return for a second one. So many improvements between the years, and having the latest model year, you have the ability to see just how much those improvements have translated to a better driving feel. Enjoy your new F!

welcome back!

It is how I pay for the toys. Not very creative, but I rarely join a forum where somebody already has that user name.

Welcome back. With all previous cars I've always had other thoughts/options that might sway me to trade them in (like a steal on a MKIV TT Supra which has been a dreamcar of mine for 20+ years) but with the ISF I honestly can't think of what car I would be ok with next. Like 99% of the F owners here, a GTR of course would fit the bill if we could afford it, but in the real world...I think I found my perfect car in the F and it'll be tough to let her go!

Although Kevin copied my exact car, he's still a pretty cool guy. Don't let him fool you- he LOVES cabinets. It's all he talked about.

I've been down the road of trying to get the next best car instead of being happy with what I have. After the F I tried the M3, GT-R (I had both an '11 and '12) and 997.2 C2S. They were all great cars but in the end I prefer the F as a daily driver. If i still had the funds to have a weekend toy sitting in the garage I would no doubt have a '12 or '13 GT-R.

Congrats..!!

Someone is about to be very happy.

Welcome back! Nice to see a fellow Sewell Owner. Got our 4 cars through Dawn Betrus, great sales person and a great friend. Once in possession, we expect pics.

Here are a couple of crappy iPhone picks of my new F.
