Default WTB IS350C F-Sport Special Edition

Hi all!

Ever since I lost my IS250C, I've been looking for a more powerful convertible. If anybody knows anyone looking to sell one of the Special Edition IS350Cs, I am in the market for one. I am looking for this car in particular but will get a regular IS350C by the end of this year if nothing comes up. If anybody knows where to find one, please just hit me up!

I am in California, but if you are out of state, I can visit you over thanksgiving week or past Christmas time.

I looked at it today and it has some iffy things that may have happened to it. My uncle is a mechanic and he noticed some of the bolts were worn and also found what looked like bird poop where the spare tire was supposed to be. Also a couple of small dings on the driver side and some rock chips. The roof had a more noticeable rattle than my IS250C and the brake and emergency brake pedal made a mechanical sound when stepping down. Also the convertible top made a whirring sound coming from the left side of the vehicle; the operation should be much more quiet.

HOWEVER I drove the car and holy cow it was amazing. Still analyzing costs and benefits. Will look into the vehicle report and have it taken to a shop to get lifted and further inspected.

I will let you guys know if I get it :]

What about the black 2011 IS350C F-Sport on Ebay Motors? It's rebuilt though. I asked for pictures of the crash and the VIN, but no reply from the seller. It kind of feels like it's not right.

I'm potentially looking for an IS350C (blue ext - white interior), but the asking prices are just ridiculous. I'm waiting for prices to come down a bit. Is the upgrade to F-Sport really worth it?

I noticed that one too! It depends on what you're looking for. The one I drove had a much stiffer suspension than a regular one. It might be fun to drive, but comfortability goes down. And the exhaust in the system is loud, which didnt bother me, but might bother others. Again this is for the 2010 fsport. I have limited information on the 2011 one.
