Default Looking for an ISF

Hey everyone! I’m in the market for an ISF, I currently drive a 2010 C63 but the reliability factor is killing me. I live in WA state and there is one in my budget (20k-26k) link to carfax: https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/JTHBP262885002150

its a 2008, Matador Red Mica, 3 owners, clean title, 125k miles. Is there anything at all, pros and cons of this? Any info would be appreciated!

Take it to a trusted Toyota or Lexus mechanic you know to be honest and have them look it over. If it passes their inspection buy it. These cars are super reliable and will give you Little to no trouble For 250,000 miles. The one thing you want to check on This particular car is coolant leak from the valley plate. Due to mileage and year it’s likely been fixed. Price is good for what you are getting

I suggest you act fast as the car will likely go quick if it’s in good shape

The reliability is there. Maybe I haven’t had the best of luck with my ISF but I’ve had OEM suspension blown (leaking), broken motor mounts, torn ball joints, MAF went bad, leaking lower radiator hose, coolant valley plate leak, starter, etc BUT I’m still on my original trans and engine. I have a 2008 ISF and I bought mine with 85k miles and currently have 140k FBO.
