I saw this vehicle pop up for sale on cars.com
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...2697/overview/

Just curious to see if the previous owner is on here.

 

Holy fck, is that actually what they're selling for down in the US?

I paid $26k CAD for my '08 (black on black, full load, less miles than the one in that ad). Maybe I should ship mine down south

 

I know right, it is a special edition, but still.

 

The price is pretty high, but it's rare to find a Neiman Marcus build for sale. 57k miles is on the low side for miles, but it's hard to justify that against the price this dealer is offering. It would be nice to know which number the special build plate shows.

 

Is there anything special about the NM edition?

 

Rims, steering wheel, white stitching

 

Ouch...priced way too high even if it is a NM. I bought my 08 ISF with only 5,700 mile 3 years ago for $38k. Now I have 51k miles on it. I would love to sell it for $35k....lol!

 

broooo. get it. but haggle!

 

Interesting. The NM wheels are very similar (identical?) to the ones on my car that have the polished face on half the spoke.

 

yeah that's special

 

I believe everywhere outside the US had them standard. But yes the NM wheels are what you described.

 

What made them more unique than that was the driving experience at a Skip Barber course for new owners. Of course, this doesn't apply to owners thereafter, but having experienced "The Corkscrew" at Laguna Seca Raceway, it was a rather dream-like experience for myself. This is something I would love to see Lexus run with in terms of building the F marquee with specialized events and owner-only exclusives. I really like what BMW does with its European delivery, and while, the cost ma be high, I'm sure there will be a following and way to entice current and future F owners with something to that effect.

Wheels are identical in design to the 08-09 with the hand polished blade on the Special Builds and non US-spec IS Fs. The steering wheel and white stitching on the interior was a nice touch, to the point where I'm adopting a similar motif for my next mod.

 

I paid $34,000 for my IS-F out the door with a 6yrs warranty from my credit union and the car only had 23,000 that was 2-1/2 years ago. At the time I was looking for one there was a car just like this one in FL that was the same amount that I was thinking was too high. Almost 3years later that price for this one is a lot. You should be able to get that car for about $31,000 and that is on the high side because of how rare it is.

 

I bought my Neiman Marcus F with 36k for $32k back in Oct 2015. Price seems high, even for the NM.

 

I'll never understand these "Neiman Marcus" type builds. What in the hell does NM have to do with cars? Personally I'd offer less if my car had a NM badge on it. Makes no sense at all.
