Default Need to test drive a local ISF

sup Neloc, im not sure where i should post this but if it needs to be moved then please do. anyways i just want to test drive a stock isf with miles on it already. i would prefer local. reason for this is to examine the stock suspension. i feel something is off on my isf but can't pin point it out. i just want to confirm that there is a difference even though mines is stock as well. i am willing to meet up at ur house or half way. ur choice. please pm me and i will get right back to u. thanks in advance. im located in central/northern NJ or union county.

most of the ones out here are new with low to no miles on them. i need one that has been broken in if you know what I mean. but thanks for the tip, i'll check if any local dealers have any used ones around.

thanks dave, well for some reason the car had an alignment issue first, then the alignment was resolve but now I think something is wrong with the suspension but the dealership can't identify the problem and think the car is suppose to perform this way stock. u busy later on dave?

its hard to explain, when i first got the car it didn't handle or drive like this. after a few months driving in NY, i think that was the cause of it, the car just doesn't handle the turns and bumps like it used to.

jerry thanx for the offer. as of right now i am goin to try another dealer my friend suggested. im also bringing a TSIB so they will know what I'm talking about. When I brake or hit a bump the steering wheels pulls to the right dramatically and the steering wheel isn't straight. I had 2 dealership tell me that the car is like this stock. I tell them no it doesn't. well I ain't going back to them so I'm going to try another. hopefully this will be resolve or im takin this to lexus corp. i'll let u know if we can meet up. maybe do a shoot or something lol. u goin to rallye lexus meet. i'll probably go there and just meet up with ya.
