Default former IS350 owner now looking for an F!

Been following this forum for awhile and now that my 09 SGM IS350 got totaled last month I am in search of an F! Drove a buddies 2008 and thought it wasn't that bad from a comfort standpoint. From all the advice here I'm looking for a 2011+ only.

MM isn't my preferred color but I do want the Alcantara seats. I am in Austin but saw the below in Houston and was wondering if anyone in Houston has had any experience with VROOM or if you can recommend a mechanic that does PPI? Not sure if these types of dealerships are the ideal place to buy an ISF but I do like the fact that it is a 1-owner car.

Below is the link.

Any advice welcomed and hope I posted this in the right spot.

Welcome.

I too went from an is350 to now an F and loving it. Never heard of VROOM, but they say online only and no retail shop.

I'm in Austin as well.

Looks very clean and stock. May be worth the $1k-$2k over market value it's advertised at. Remember, "pay for peace of mind"! You'll thank yourself later if you pay a few grand over market value for a clean, unmolested F rather than looking for a "cheap" car or a "good" deal.... usually those end up with an unhappy owner!
good luck!

I paid 34.5K for my 2011 1.5 years ago and im in CA, clean title, im the 2nd owner and all service done at a Lexus dealership. I'm sure you can find 2011's a lot lower now.... Good luck with your search! you'll love the F!
