Default Quick question

Theres an is f in Infiniti Tampa for 31000 with 96000 miles how much is a fair price to pay or haggle with them. Also there's an F on eBay with 70000 miles bids reaching 29000 really want an F or is it better to wait . To wait until next year when the cars depreciate more hopefully

What is your realistic budget? For me, once I saw used prices dip below $40k I was interested since that was feasible for me. Sounds like you're shooting more towards $30k? I didn't realize that was even possible for an F yet.

Although Lexus' are reliable and hearty, I'm not sure I would go for any ISF < $35k. Buying something on ebay that's not mint is just asking for trouble. I would advise to buy local-ish.

Or if <$30k and paddles are what you're after, get an Evo X MR and call it a day.

96k miles is a lot...but then again, it's a toyota...should last for awhile. My IS F just turned 85,000 the other day...i wonder how much i can sell it for.

Hey Miqueaseli, u live in Tampa? I am in St.Pete, hopefully u get an F soon so there can be more of us, so few in zhe Tampa area. Anyway, really haggle on that 96,000 mile car cause most banks won't finance a car over 100k miles so u should have some leverage

At that much miles, it's hard to gauge price unless you know all the details.

A lotta miles for a car so young, but you're still getting Lexus reliability. I would say be patient and wait until the 2013 ISF comes out, and that way the 08's will depreciate. With that said, depreciation on the F is not as much as other cars, considering the rarity of the F. Good luck.
