Looking to buy a 2011-2014 ISF with under 30k miles
If you guys have any tips on where to search for ISF cars aside from carguru, autotrader, cars.com and ebay PLEASE let me know. Looking to purchase a well maintained ISF on the East Coast. Any and all help would be much appreciated. I'm trying to stay away from silver and white colors at this time.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Autotrader and Cars.com were very helpful when I pulled the trigger on my 2012 in early 2015. They will help you find, compare and eventually negotiate the purchase of these fantastic machines! Unless you are sold on the 2011 wheels, I would say go with 2012+ because the wheels are a little wider, thus allow for a better fit if you decide to upgrade/widen the tires. Either way, best of luck with your search!

I used those sites too and if you haven't tried it; one more option i just found this year is that carfax.com added a free car search function to their website. It's very cool because if you find any on there it will automatically already have a carfax tied to it. There are also options to search only for no-accident cars and 1-owner cars if you prefer.
I got basically what you're looking for; a 2012 Lexus CPO with only 29k miles on it.
Try Carfax and best of luck!

So I just checked within 500 miles from me and I'm in Asheville, NC (Western NC). That essentially covers a large portion of the east coast. There's only 11 on KBB and none of them have under 30,000 miles.
Are you having a hard time finding one?
When I opened up the search to no distance limit there's only 44 total only 6 having less than 30,000 miles and they ranged from $38,000 to $57,000. There are two more close to 30,000 miles.

I got mine in July of last year and I thought I remembered only seeing something like 80 or so then. I'm just wondering, if as the word gets out that the game has changed with the ISF, if they'll become more popular and even more rare than they already are. I haven't really been in the F'n scene long enough to see any long term trends.

All these guys have given EXCELLENT advice on sites/etc. Will just take some patience! My requirements for an F was pretty similar to yours, wanted a fairly price '12 or '13 with under 30k miles...but I was slightly a lil more picky...I wanted either white or silver with the red interior. Took me a lil over a year but I found it about 12 hrs (900 miles away). Negotiated best I could then put the down payment down! Not .much negioting to do with the car as rare as it is and with it only attracting buyers who know what it is and are seeking the car.

Found mine on cars.com. Did a nationwide search and ended up finding it in Mi which wasn't too far from Minneapolis
2011, 8k miles for $41k and already had exhaust, headers and suspension goodies!

I will keep you guys/girls posted on my journey. Unfortunately I may have to wait some time for the perfect ISF to surface. #patience

Also if you're into music quality, don't know if you're aware or if you've researched the option of the Mark Levinson audio system, but its not standard on all ISFs so you have to look for it. For me, this was a must-have because its the best sounding OEM car stereo i've ever heard.
