Crazy price on an orange F
https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...ting=159506619
I saw this for sale the other day. If the title is clean then this may be the best deal on any IS-F I've ever seen! It looks like it's loaded with mods: custom steering wheel, front lip, aftermarket wheels, roof spoiler, trunk spoiler, etc. Nav + Mark Levinson equipped too, it's almost like this car was owned by a club member since the mods were tastefully done.
Am I missing something here? 23k for a 100k miles F with many mods?
Great deal for anyone looking for a new F!

If I'm not mistaking, that one had a number of mechanical issues. Someone on this Forum was an owner of that particular F. It has body work done to it.
By the way, that is no custom steering wheel. And modifications usually don't mean great value. In fact in most cases (unless done by famous/known performance shops with big names) modifications will lower the value of the car. I wouldn't trust a car with work done to it unless I was there to witness the work performed. It also looks like there's some wiring jobs performed. Personally, I would stay away from this and pay the premium for a bone stock ISF.

That does heavily change the perspective if it had several issues in the past and now that i look at it, it has a steering wheel cover lol. I usually browse used car websites for fun so it was an interesting find. I myself wouldn't mind paying for a modded cars if the mods were things I would have planned anyway. VIN check does show it hasn't been in an accident though.

Tough color for resale for the F unfortunately. One-off paint jobs almost will never cut it for a rare car like this.
Other than that, fairly clean and if no accidents, a lot of car for the money. But with all the mod, installation/wiring will def need to be looked over.

Not sure why you think it's a great price, there were two in the DC area both with exhuasts and one with updated lights that were for sale for months at $23k and had 105 and 115k. A number on autotrader nationwide as well for $22-25k with 90k+ miles when I was searching for mine a couple months back. As far as mods, they don't really add value to the car since it doesn't come with stock parts being from a dealer, and added up save for the wheels you're not really looking at that much to add those parts even new.

I notice the following:
I think they are actually asking too much for this car..
- Forged BBS wheels replaced by cast Vossen wheels
- F logo is missing from steering wheel
- Shift lock cover missing from center console
- Vinyl carbon wrap covering actual silver texalium trim pieces
- Steering wheel cover
- 08-10 headlight enclosures have been opened and painted black, angel eyes installed & LED strip
- Orange paint
- LED's in cluster needles appear to be failing
- K&N intake
- Wiring ran straight from the battery to headlights for LEDs

Great deal ? It would have to be stock for it to be a decent deal (although I've seen cheaper stock for $20k with 100k miles and up), modded like that I wouldnt drive it even if it was free
