Huh? 2008 - 2009 ISF sell for around $20K CAD with over 100k miles where I live.

When I was purchasing my RCF, there was a fully optioned out white 2013 ISF CPO with 20k miles available for $16,000 cheaper. As a search on CARMAX, this difference is fairly consistent across markets. Though, ISF has the advantage of 4 doors, which is a deal breaker for some people in the case of RCF (as it was for me before I finally saw a baby seat in the RCF),

Depreciation is not linear. High end sports car depreciate the most in the first 2 - 3 years. Then, the rate starts to flatten out. Though, German cars plummet harder after 4 years once warranty is up. Because of the Lexus quality, refinement and reliability, Lexus cars seem to stabilize quite a bit in the 4th year onwards like ISF, which has maintained its value well despite being out of warranty.

 

 

Some of these may be a good deal, but be careful that anything that may need replacement is noted, or you may have to spend some additional dollars! I paid more for my used 2015, but the dealer performed the following with the sticker price. New tires (Michelin super sports), front brake pads/discs/brake fluid, oil change/filter, air filter, wiper blades, and front wheel alignment.

 

Yes, this is so true.

Just the tires (the correct ones) will set you back at least $1200 +/- (plus installation and/or an alignment. I always get an alignment when I change my tires).

Brakes will set you back around $800+/- per axle installed (depending where you get them done at.).

The above are just WEAR ABD TEAR items. If there are any defective items out of warranty, then it's going to cost you even more.

Sometimes it maybe better to go with a Lexus L Certified/CPO. You will not only get the peace of mind with all above wear and tear items replaced with OEM or better, but also UNLIMITED MILEAGE WARRANTY (limitations may apply). It all depends on the price IMHO.

I would proceed with extreme caution.
