$36k for ISF with 71k miles? No sure if thats low even if its spotless. I would much rather get '11 for $29-30k. Something like this:

only 2 service records scares me. Means they either did maintenance personally or at a Ma and Pa shop.

....So why haven't you bought one after looking for one for so long and knowing how to find all the right deals??? The IS250 and new BMW you bought (for a crazy high price and taking a huge hit on depreciation) that much more appealing?
Not being hard on you, but just not understanding all the "great" deals you find, but don't have an F and claim not to want one....Not sure why you're offering F'ers advice....This isn't the IS250 forum.

I think you are being hard on yourself.....and you seem to have some memory loss issue. I've already explained to you why I havent bought one, why I am here, and that I dont have any IS250 you keep bringing up in every single post. If you are really interested, I can try to explain to you again.

250/౩50, all the same thing (aka not an ISF, which this forum happens to be for, and which you don't own, nor intend to...So don't get why you're so active here). None of us are active in the 250/350/beamer forums if we don't own nor intend to own those cars. Just not sure how you can give accurate advice here.

You seem to worry about my forum activities quite a lot......That's something I would get checked along with your memory loss.

PS. I never said anywhere that I don't intend to own ISF, I actually said otherwise. You keep making stuff up for whatever reason

I just checked AutoTrader for all the 2011's (even some 2012's), most of them are at high 50K to 80K miles.

Here is a 2011 with 80K miles for 30,000 dollars. You will most likely NOT find a 2011 with 30K miles for 30,000 dollars.

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=455222684


If a buyer right now wants a good "sample", here's on of my top pick:

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=454745862
2012 with 30,000 miles, $42,000. You're going to have to pay more for a car with lower miles.

$30,000 with low miles? Not happening.

I found a white 2012 near here where I live. I called the dealer but the car hasnt gone through the shop and recond yet so their isnt a price on it yet. It has about 41k miles on it. They will call me tomorrow and give me a price on it. Most likely its gonna run around 45k which its a bit high for what i can afford at the moment. But I will go drive it and see it.

Never hurts to check it out in person.

Do you have a loan approved already? Provident Credit Union has excellent rates, at least when I bought my ISF.

I'm sure there is a handful of Forum members that purchased an F with more than 80k miles and have no issues with it.

I didn't say anything about low 30k miles.....We were talking about 2013 and 2011 with 71-75k miles. Last low miles ISFs I've seen at around 37-38k. I use cars.com, don't think any deals there now

$30k for low miles 11+ is not happening, I agree. 2010 is possible

Guys - Please stop the useless URL posting. Kill EVERYTHING after the listing ID number because it is killing the page width with utterly useless drivel.
