Default My dealership aggressively trying to buy My IS-F.

My local dealership has been actively pursuing me to buy my 2011 IS-F. The dealership told me they have client that wants ISF under 50k miles in great shape one owner. They want to appraise my F and in there words make me a very competitive offer. They also known how well IS-F is holding there value. I'm curious so may have them apprise F and see what they offer.

I was shopping my 2011 SFP with 44k miles on it this past month when I was looking at CTS-V cars. My F is about as mint as u can get and Lexus dealer was really excited to try and work a deal. They offered me $37k initially then when I showed them 2 offers from Cadillac dealers offering me $39k they said they would match it. Lexus installed my headers and they said they would take off my headers, Joe Z exhaust and 2014 carbon spoiler so i could sell them. Basically it's $41,500 with the tax savings and I would get $2500 or so selling my parts. I think that is all the $$ a 2011 is worth.

they used to tell me the same BS when I had my LS460 on 22" wheels. It was a gorgeous machine and they would constantly call and mail me letters. Too bad the "next gen" LS that is currently out looks like mine but with the funky new grille ( it is growing on me when I see Mikes from VOSSEN )

Don't pull the trigger Dave . There's not a lot of cars in the mkt that drives as nice as the F. Classy civilian Lexus when you want, beast mode when you need. Besides, your car is sick. You'll need to spend twice the money modding a European equivalent like an M3/m4.

Thanks brother have no plans pulling trigger just yet going to hold onto Weapon F for few more years. RC-F M4, C63 are all great car's but now eith new RC-F coming in at around 72k and M4 at around 82k there are other options available for that kind of cash. I'll stick with my IS-F for now and wait and see what future holds, besides needs to invest more cold hard cash into my daughter's college fund. Her current tuition is already costing me 20k yr and she in 5th grade !!!!

So you received a letter from your dealer? I received mine last week with the same message, sales tactics. I'm sure the appraisal will be a couple of grands off from KBB's trade-in suggested price.
