I will be brutally honest about buying an IS-F, it's not a 20 minute ride to the dealership and you're back home in 3 hours. Maybe to some, but not for most. If you are looking for a certain year, color and price you're going to have to do some leg work, and most likely fly out of State to buy one, ship or drive it home, register it, etc. It will not be a walk in the park in most cases. You'll have an easier time buying an RC-F or a GS-F that's on the showroom floor or order one. Not trying to discourage anyone, but again as a potential buyer, you have 2 things working against you, the car is no longer in production, the car is rare.
Depends....sure its probably more convenient to buy in states, but like I said some cars are $10k cheaper in canada then in usa. For me its a 4 hour drive, better then flying, and then shipping the car.

I was referring to someone who lives in California or Western States.

Hey guys The car just came in today. Has some nicks on all for wheels and both bumpers will need to be sprayed. Those are the only cosmetic issues I need to address for it to be showroom. Here are some pics of it just off the truck. It will be going into the shop for its CPO check.

Lol I was thinking of doing that with mine!!! I couldn't possibly put up a beautiful 2013 ISF with 2010-2011 wheels!

It has 13,800. No final price yet as I am waiting for the CPO inspection to be completed.

Yeah thats a nice color, as well as USB, and I like white as well. If I ran in any of those colors here, maybe I would be driving ISF now. When I was shopping it was only silver and black, IMO the worst colors for ISF

Man, that looks familiar. LOL

Are the wheels just nicked or curbed? I have 1 nick in mine.

2. Why are you spraying both bumpers?



Looks clean, low miles, rare one.

It's a beauty! The wheels were mainly nicked, but were an eyesore. They just got refinished today. The front bumper had scrapes on the bottom from curbs. The rear had some scratches but nothing too crazy. The car is too clean to not have these items addressed. If it was a regular IS these would not be that big a deal. But I hope this car goes to a fellow member so I want it to be as good as you can get! Plus this was the cleanest lowest mile car I was able to find in over two years, and I bought that one 😁

By all means, I was just curious how badly someone neglected this car. Some people truly don't know what they have on their hands.

Took the words out of my mouth, I hope this car goes to a good home (with a garage) and someone who knows how to appreciate it.

I remember missing out on a 2012 NGP and how pissed off I was that day, I was in a foul mood, seriously. (bounced back 3 months later)

If anyone is looking for that RARE ISF, this is about as good as it gets. (Pick up the phone and get things rolling)

Cool. But judging by your post #6 and #12 in this thread, that is far overpriced for that car.....Look back at those two post you wrote and explain how pricing on this car makes sense after what you said....
....We all love our cars but.....
