Default After a year of searching... Finally got it!!!

I've been Lurking around here (forums) for over a year now.. And after a year of searching and having soo much patience, I finally purchased a 2011 Grey ISF w/ 46k miles!! I had plenty of instances to pull the trigger on a 08-09 but i really wanted the 2011+ extras (led headlights, LSD, etc) finally seen one at a dealer 20 miles away.. I jumped on it as fast as I could. Numbers worked out to what I was expecting and Took it home lastnight. I can't wait to get on it and enjoy it (storming here in NorCal) hopefully weather gets better in a couple days! Pics once weather is better!

UPDATE with pics: weather got better so gave it a fresh wash!

Nice!! Great color choice. We have a good amount of customers that are very active in the ISF scene up there. A good buddy/customer, lolfunction, Chase, has a USB ISF soon to be bagged, very cool guy, maybe you guys can meet up and he can give you a quick 411 on the ISF community.

Congrats!

Sounds like a nice F from your description.

Look forward to seeing some pictures once the weather improves.

Welcome to the 'F'amily!

Congrats! I waited 6 years and searched for 1 year. Where are you in NorCal ? I lived in the Bay Area for 21 years (left in June)

Which Dealership?

Did you sleep at all? LOL

So envious, must be amazing to have a life that allows you to afford such nice things, hopefully I can own a car like that in my lifetime I saved up for 4 years before I could afford my used IS350, although I love it and it is pretty quick, it doesn't have nearly as much torque as I was hoping for

Congratulations! There are a couple of us in the Sacramento area. Just picked up my 2011 a little while ago. See you around.
