Hello all,

I have a 2 part question. I just sold my Supra and am interested in getting 2011+ ISF for my wife and myself to use. My problem is, there aren't any for sale within 200+ miles of me (zip 21713). I'm okay with traveling/ flying to buy, but I would like to make sure I want one before.
1) Do you live nearby and would like to show me your car? I'd like to drive it of course, (around the block even) and would compensate you for your time.
2) Do you have one for sale. I'm a cash buyer for a very clean lower mile ISF if of course I like it.

Please PM me if this is something you can help me with. I have people on Supra Forums that can vouch for me. I know this is an out of the ordinary question, but there just isn't any for sale close. If I'm out of line for asking, please delete the post.

Thanks

Catch 22. The car can seem great in the photos and have many flaws once you see it. If you want to increase the chances of finding one that's really in great shape, I would start with 2012's and up.

Rare car, low production numbers. Get ready for the hunt.

There is a white 2012 at Carmax Laurel that just popped up today. It's fate!

Go get 'er!

You sold a 'modern' TT supra for an F?

Thanks for the tip!!!! Im going to check it out tomorrow. Not crazy about the white interior but it will do for a test drive!!!!

Sad to see it go, but I need something a little more practical at this point. There's more of them if I ever want another.

No problem. We'll expect a review

Damn I would have bought that Supra if I had the money.

I drove the ISF for sale at Carmax in Laurel MD. I liked the car. It had some imperfections in the front end though.
First thing I noticed was a small dent in the passenger side bumper lower. Next the bumper cover has been poorly repainted. The color wasn't awful but there was overspray on the license plate bracket and the grill. They didn't even take the bracket off to paint it. (Very poor IMO.) Also the drivers side headlight had what appeared to be multiple stress cracks in the top portion of it?

Another thing was a tapping sound at low RPM's. This is the first ISF I've heard and I wasn't sure if this was a normal motor sound for them? Sounded like a leaking exhaust manifold or valve tap to me? Do they sound like that if you put 87 octane in them?

So I passed on the car, $40,900 2012 with 40k miles on it.

Sounds like a good call.

I have an 08 F you can drive if you like, couple mods on it but will give you an idea of what to expect should you decide to open your range to previous models. I am mostly around BWI/Rockville, Nova area so feel free to PM me. Not for sale however

EverestWC

Thank you very much for the offer! I am satisfied with the ISF and the wife liked it... so just looking for the right one to buy now. Preferably 2011+ blue with black int, or any color with the red interior, very clean, no accidents, good service history, etc and under 60k miles. (Open to others as well though.)
Thanks again!

Have the checkbook ready....If an '11+ blue with black (or especially red) interior pops up for sale, there'll be no time for negotiations....Will have to act fast. Patience will be needed in your search also. Be ready to travel as well.
Good luck! Clean '11+ F's are hard to find and VERY special beast!!
