Cool Should I try for a 08 IS -F? I already have a 08 350, suggestions please.

Hello everyone;
I hope everyone is doing well? I am here to ask for suggestions please? I have an 08 IS350 with only 7000 miles & I am looking at upgrading to a IS -F 08 with 8000 miles. My ? is there a big difference between the 350 & the IS -F? Is it worth the extra money, I know that it has all big brakes and all the goodies & it is fast. Please advise & like always thanks for all your input.

All I can say is go for it. It's a HUGE diffrence in the two. Engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, looks and feel. Everything about the ISF is amazing !!! I used to drive one as a DEMO and I always enjoyed it!! I actually was invited out by Motivemag.com a few years ago and did a comparison on the ISF, M3, and C63

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to PM me.

If you're questioning about the difference, don't buy it.

Get an M3

I like the ISF, I drove it for a day but when I went back to my IS350, it felt like I was driving a Camry or something. If you want to stick with the Lexus family, I would get the ISF...but otherwise get the M3.

Cool

Thanks guys for your input. I will look into the M3, also. I just got rejected in trying to get the IS -F. They valued my car at $28,000.00 & I still owe $34,000.00. The IS - F is nice but they wanted to much & adding what I owed it just sealed my destiny, lol. So thanks guys & I will look in the M3, you guys take care & be safe.
