Default Bread for the seagulls

I thought I'd share this with you guys. 2011 diff for sale in Toronto Ontario. I emailed the seller and he responded with a price of $1500CAD or about $1150 USD. Enjoy

PS: I offered him $1200 CAD and his response "no thanks"

I'd save my money and get the OS Giken. Way worth the extra $$.

You're right about that.

But for most just wanting a real mechanical lsd in general thats a steal. I've rarely seen the Lexus community share stuff like this, good find! Hopefully someone picks that up soon because retail prices on those units are probably 3 to 4 times that amount .

For a Canadian, that's gonna be over $5400 with exchange and taxes not including shipping. $1500 is a great price if you're local. I payed $750 CAD for my unit I think almost 3-4 years back, now that's a steal.

I also asked about the seats, asking $2000 CAD. I'd love to grab them and sell my white ones. Anyone want white seats?

That's funny...I also emailed him on Tuesday with no response?

What's even weirder, is that the pictures he posts look like they are from Utah or some mountainous region in the USA........No snow on the ground, and there is no junk yards in the area of Toronto he is stating in the ad.

The pictures are also dated 12/09/15 and have IAAI.com written across them........so no way is this a Canadian car....just a USA Kijiji spammer . No sane Canadians buy a salvaged car and ship to to Canada for part out.

All of his other items also look very suspicious....total troll!

Lots of links to other IS F's int he USA through this Salvage Insurance company

if it seems suspicious I would stay away. Will admit though that LSD will make a nice difference on the track

I have a Toyota Torsen in my Supra. It will get swapped out for the OS Giken. That's how much better it is. I would not waste the labor of doing the swap to put in a Torsen.

That user has been selling parts on kijiji for years. I've contacted him for parts over the years for other cars. His handle is "irreparable source" and when he responded this time, I recognize the name. After you said he was shady I decided to google search him. A quick search found a guy back from 2010 talking about him but not in a good way...lol. Read the last post.

Thanks for sharing, Compthis. Unfortunate that it's likely a dead end. A really nice deal even @ $1500. CAD.
