Default Is this 2008 IS-F too low?

They're asking $24k for http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Lexus/IS+...howcpo=ShowCPO.

I was going to get a new one, but decided to hold off since the new ones (RC-F, etc) are just a year or two away. However, I am still on the lookout for a good deal on an older one. Does it seem too low for anybody else? Especially considering the mileage. I see they did a few mods.

Anything I should watch out for?

Thanks!

Ah, okay. That's what I thought. I'll just wait for something more reasonable.

Not sure why the owner is selling it for that price. The car is located in canada and im not sure whether its canadian or us dollars. Regardless of the price, i'd dig a little deeper. isf has a lilttle bit of after market stuff installed in it. It maybe a scam.

The Tein springs aren't that low, and many people seem to like them. I do agree with everyone though, it does seem a little weird.

Couple things here.

The car is located in Ontario, and as you are aware OP in Ontario we are required to have a front plate on the car- this one clearly does not have one. The wheels are not the Canadian blade style wheels (unless this car was imported from the States) Very few homes in Ontario have poured concrete for driveways and the trees planted in front the house don't look like they belong to the climate of Ontario.

If this car is truly for sale in Ontario, it could be the one that has been for sale for the past year on and off. That car is a US car and has a Salvage title- the owner says it had only fender damage and was given a salvage title. He is the second owner and seems very shady and has been dropping the price every time he repost it (Last I saw was 29k).

Now where's Watson!?

Might be a typo 24 is way to low maybe 34 so theres no way that this guy would take 10,000 less from its value.

Nice detective work. It also claims to be from Lively, ON (suburb of Sudbury), but if you look at any of the GPS map sites it doesn't look at all like the area in the pictures.
