Default Just joined the IS-F family!!!!

Finally found an 08 Starfire Pearl White that's within my budget so I pulled the trigger. Since the car was from NorCal and I'm in SoCal, the distance of 400 miles made it a bit more difficult to get my new daily! On top of that, my credit union required the car to be inspected in person before they can cut the check! So after a bit of negotiating with the seller. I agreed on paying the 500 dollars extra toward his travel expenses including fuel, food, and the flight back. I very much bought the car sight unseen! I only relied on pictures from the seller. So this morning, we went to my credit union and I took care of the paperwork. So I am now a proud owner of an IS-F. I'm loving it so far!!

Haha yeah, never thought I would have this much fun in an "automatic". I took her out for a test drive right after the morning rain, her rear end kicked out almost as soon as I WOT. I saved it and then grinned from ear to ear!! From then, I knew that this car will be my daily for a long time!!

Welcome... It goes well with your supra in the garage. Imo your pretty confident buying the car without you physically seen it nor drove it. One thing is for sure, it would not disappoint you. Congrats.

I'm in Westminster, OC. Thanks, too much planned for the Supra and not enough will power to work on it. The Supra has not seen the road since it was repainted.

Yeah I placed a none refundable deposit so the seller could meet me down here at my credit union. I was pretty nervous to say the least. The car has small dings and scratches as I was expected so it wasn't a surprise. Interior is very well kept so I'm very happy about that.
