2012 ISF, any known mechanical issues?
Hey guys, I'm looking at a 2012 ISF with 20k on the clock. For anyone with this year model, do you experience any issues? What should I look out for? Also, the seller is asking for $41k worth the price?
Is everything original and clean history? Based on the year and miles, the price is great! For reference, my 2012 with clean history, 2 owners with 32k miles was a little under 40k (before tax/title/lisc) in February 2016. No issues for me so far.

The seller showed me the carfax and everything on the car is original. From a paperwork standpoint, everything looks good. But it's the price that gets me...$41k for a car?? Yay or nay?

Color combo is white on black, perfect. Seller just replaced the tires, pads, and rotors. I got him to come down from 44k so I dont think he will go down any further.

Price varies quite a bit depending on where you are. I'd say that's a good price overall though for 2012 with low miles.
Besides the common recalls, 2012 is a good year. You shouldn't have any "mechanical" issues.

Amazing that you could find one of these cars with that few of miles. Remember this is 2016 and people have a tendency to drive their cars, so 20,000 miles in four years is pretty low. If it is the right color, pay whatever it takes.
Also, if you want a hot rear wheel drive V8 Toyota your choices are pretty limited. If you want to read something interesting follow the RC F and GS F websites. Both of them seem to be big heavy boats.
My guess is that the IS F will be the one that holds it's desirability. The fact that it has fewer gadgets is a big plus in my book.
