You're going to have to be willing to travel. Only around 2,000 2011+ ISFs in the country...not very many at all. Good luck!!

I'm in Colorado - I went to Florida for my 2012, and drove it back! Best decision I ever made!

Use this link on Lexus' website to get the production numbers. 2011 they sold 654 in the U.S. (I think).

Confirmed US sales #'s by year. Good Luck

Be ready to travel, cross country is no big deal hunting for these, as you can see other users who have.
I was ready to fly one way from east TX to Phoenix to get mine.

I live in North Carolina and I bought my 11' ISF from Arizona.
한국인 이신가..?

But being in California might be easier to find one without traveling too far.
Good luck.

Default I was interested

I almost bought this car, but reviews for Carvana aren't so great. Does anyone know, or can share their experience with Carvana?

I am also in the market but most cars around Asheville are 08s.

Where in NC are you? I am also on the same boat but haven't found anything decent. Do you know of any clean examples that are reasonably priced?

TIA

Another option is to purchase through CarMax and have it shipped to your location.
https://www.carmax.com/cars/lexus/is-f

There's a 2012 and 2014 available. You would have to pay a non-refundable shipping charge, but it's akin to buying an airline ticket/car rental/hotel to travel to see an ISF. I paid the transfer fee for my 2011.

They also have a 2015 RCF that's very reasonably priced.

Corrected for truth. Consider there were 2733 '08s sold in the US, and there were 2385 in all the rest of the available model years. That pretty much says no matter where you are, the '08s are the most common.

Thanks for the correction.
Anyone else knows anything on Carvana?

Wow, I got really lucky. I bought my 2011 from a seller who's home was 6 miles from my office.

Can you share what year, how many miles, and what you paid for it?

Thanks.
