Default 2010 isf

Good afternoon,

I have not been on the forum long, but I have been reading and learning about this car (a lot of useful information). Ready to buy an ISF and came across this one. Just wanted to get some feedback from the community.

https://www.northwestdodgehouston.co...5D=IS+F&page=1

I have reviewed the provided Carfax and seen the 5 owners and accident, but just wanted to see what you guys think.

Thanks!

Default No expert

I am not an expert on the used Lexus market but from all the research I have done on LexusClub forum, CarGurus, Autotrader, and Craigslist ads $27k is not bad of a price for a 2010. I have also found very few examples that were 2010+ and were one-owner, or were not in any kind of accidents.
Although, I prefer to own one-owner, least driven examples (coming from owning European cars, you almost have to if you want a headache free ownership) but those examples are in the mid 30s. So, it all depends on your budget, and how OCD you are.

Good luck in your search. I am also in the market for a clean example for right around that price.

Someone in the FB group posted that car and said that it was their old one. Would be a good place to start.

It has at a minimum exhaust, aero kit (hard to tell if brand name), and suspension. May be a bonus if you planned to mod.

If the original owner is on FB, perhaps they can tell you why the front right fender liner is torn. The ISFs I looked at before buying mine also had this, with loose bumper covers. This one's bumper cover appears to be loose also. Never a good sign (IMHO). Also, why no interior photos?

I did notice that about the inner fender. I have reached out to the dealership for detailed pictures and a video clip of the car.

Could the Fender damage be from rubbing? Looks like it has spacers and is not just lowered. That is a lot of car for the money

From the Lexusdrivers.com website it appears the dash and door panels have been replaced as well (another plus).

I feel like that’s a lot of money for that car. I just bought a one owner ‘10 ISF with 63k that was dealer maintained back in April of ‘18. Clean title. Purchased it straight from a Lexus dealer the day it was traded in for an LC 500. I paid 32k flat with taxes and dealer fees, so 30k flat before taxes...

He said it has a muffler delete, resonator delete, custom tips. Clean title, alpine white interior. I asked about the fender liner.
