Description:
Putting my 2009 Lexus ISF up for sale. Unfortunately, I've been having issues with the exhaust/cats I live in Socal and shipped it here from VA back in 2018. I don't have the time and money to put into this car anymore.
I've had this car for 7 years and kept all service records of my time with it. Clean title in hand. Painfully, pricing firm with cat repairs/emissions in mind. Car ran absolutely fine until I was forced to add secondary cats to the exhaust system.
Sidenote: Car no longer has black film on front bumper as pictured. Will add pics of interior/ any cosmetic issues tomorrow.
Replaced OEM Parts:
- New Radiator, water pump and thermostat.
- Passenger side valve cover gasket and all reltated seals.
- Both Exhaust Manifolds.
- Motor mounts.
- All sensors, O2 / A/F
Aftermarket Parts:
- Depo headlights.
- Joe Z exhaust w/ altered midpipe (added cats).
- Figs Front Lower Arm Rear Mount #2 Poly Bushings 90 High Performance w/ brackets.
Issues:
- -The car runs and drives, but clearly has a slight loss of power and needs new catalytic converters I'm told on the passenger side. Secondary has started to rattle. May need new exhaust system entirely.
- -Check Engine light illuminated, P-0430 code.
- Bumper clips on passenger side damaged from shipping.
- DR side rocker panel damage from shipping.
- Wheels have curb rash.
- Going back and forth trying to get this thing to pass California emissions has been a hassle, this is a project car for anyone willing to tackle it. AS-IS will not currently pass California Smog due in November.
