Default ISF Buying Questions

Hi everyone, this is my first post on Club Lexus and I just wanted to ask some questions...

I am looking to buy an ISF and I am wondering if buying one that has 100,000km (60,000mi) on it is too much for a 2010. I know Lexus makes reliable engines and are very strong, but is 100,000km too much?

If not, could I safely put on 40,000km-50,000km without killing its value?

Also, does the ISF come stock with Brembo brakes?

Thanks!

Assuming all the maintenance is up to date along with the recalls, you'll be fine. Most members have put on more than 60K miles by now.

And yes, brembos are stock.

Hi,
I'm hoping to piggyback off the original post without creating a new thread to reduce spam.

With that being said, I placed a small deposit for a 2009 IS-F.

It is being serviced at Lexus as we speak.

I'm set to check out the car on Monday or Wednesday.

What things should I be looking for during a pre-inspection check?

What questions should I ask the seller?

Keep in mind it is a used car lot that purchases cars from auction.

The salesman initially said that it had been in a fender bender towards the back and is getting repainted. Obviously, I will ask if the chassis was damaged or not. He also claimed that the title is clean and showed me the Car Fax.

Thanks in advance! Apologies for thread-jacking!!

Cheers!
