I've seen a 2010 ISF here in the UK with 31k on it. I had my heart set on a 2011 up with the changes to the dash clocks, suspension, etc. Would anyone reccomend I hold out for a 2011 up? Is it worth it? This 2010 I've looked at is black on black and the low miles is tempting.
I was in exactly the same position as you and went with the 2010 as the low mileage and like new condition more than made up for the minor upgrades to the 2011 and up. There are so few of these around the world that getting super picky may mean you don’t get one.
I'm biased as I have a 2010 but when I was looking I was specifically looking for a 2010 for the dual symmetrical gauges and the LSD, Gen 6 HD Nav/Bluetooth.....the 2010 fit all that criteria. I wasn't worried about the led lights on the 2011+ and the suspension changes as I was going aftermarket on the suspension and you can always get aftermarket or OEM lights to fill that void if you so choose.
I have referred to this post more times than you could count, thank god it exists. Helping me choose the ideal year, 2011-12 seems to be the sweet spot.
Do all years have the front defroster lines at the base of the windshield? For my MY2012 the switch for this is located on the dash where the older cars have their "Sport" button. As has been stated the newer cars had the Sport button moved tot he steering wheel.
I have a line on a bone stock 2014 with 130,000 kms that I'm seriously considering. I've thought of my current 2014 IS350 RWD as a 6 cylinder ISF, but I'm hungry for the V8!!
The 2014 ISF I’m looking at is Nebula Grey, with matching painted spoiler. I thought the 2014 had a carbon fibre spoiler, am I mistaken?
Is this the one listed in Vancouver? I believe it's actually a 2013 since it's been listed in the past. It's missing the F headrests and alcantara centre console too if it truely is a 2014.
