Default 2013 Owner

Longtime lurker and former IS350 owner during 2018-2019. Always was interested in finding an IS-F and after growing tired of daily driving a Camaro SS 1LE, I found a 2013 Matador Red less than 200 miles away in February of 2022. I've spent the past 15 months dialing in what the original owner had neglected for it's first 9 years of life and still have some work to do. Poor thing was treated like an appliance in it's former life, but has definitely been spoiled during my ownership! I've had some special cars of the past 10 years and typically trade yearly, but it should say something that this car has been one of the longest I've owned. I've only seen three IS-F in SW MO in the last few years, so nice to have something you don't see everyday. Even car geeks at the local Cars & Coffee have no clue what it is typically......those who know....know, and really nerd-out with me.

Such a deep knowledge-base here and the people here are top-shelf!

Josh

Default 2011 usb is f

Hi all,

Longtime member from my SC300 days. Since selling the SC300 I've been driving a Prius for 10 years, was more than ready to get back into something fun. Anyways, bought this 2011 USB with 191k on the clock, and I intend to use it as a daily driver as well. For the price I paid I think I stole it lol.

1. USB
2. ML/Nav
3. Black
4. Almost bought a salvage title F for the same price, found this one with clean title instead. Mileage doesn't bother me a bit. Has PPE UEL headers, X-pipe, Catless Borla all the way back. K&N drop-in filter. Godspeed UCAs, stock suspension otherwise. Wedsport wheels, painted brake calipers and paint-matched F Lip.
5. No Pre-crash
6. Yep
7. Sunroof
8. South Carolina
9. All my other pics are over 10mb lol

I picked up a used '10 IS-F just over a month ago and am loving it. Needs some TLC, but is a great project/daily driver.
Not new to the F as my dad had two of them. He bought an '08 F new and loved it so much traded it for an '11 F. He traded off the '11 at the age of 80 he said because it was getting difficult to get in and out of the seats. I think speeding fines may have been a contributing factor as well.
Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from all the other F owners.



1. Smoky Granite Mica
2. Nav and ML
3. Black
4. X-Force exhaust, PPE headers, RR Racing intake and tune, HKS coilovers, EBC Blue Stuff pads
5. Pre-crash/or not (not sure what this is)
6. PICS, PICS, PICS!!! <done>
7. Sunroof
8. n/a
9. Post pics or links to your car <done>

Hello everyone, glad to finally be here. Have been looking for a F for a while now and finally was able to find one I wanted down in Florida earlier this year 2023. Flew out there and drove it all the way back home to sunny AZ. Stoked to finally have one! This is my first Lexus ever! Previous car was a AP2 S2000 so this is quite a change but I have loved every minute of it so far!



1. USB 2010
2. Nav/ML
3. Black
4. 4th owner now, bought with 128K miles, drove from Florida all the way back to AZ with no problems, previous owner took really great care of the car!
5. Did have a minor front left accident, put through insurance but not a accident with another vehicle so not to sure what happened.
6. Couple pics from right after I got PPF done on the whole front of the car, anyone in AZ knows the rocks on the road are brutal to paint.
7. Sunroof
8. East Valley Phoenix AZ
9. Hard to see in these pics but it had a couple small dents I had fixed later at a paintless dent repair shop. Looks really clean now!

I am in the Lawrenceville area specifically Suwanee area. I made it to C&O last Sunday as a spectator.
And yes I in fact did get this clean title ISF for $2,000. Correct me if I'm wrong I do think this is the world's cheapest ISF, and I might be the youngest too?😳

I will reveal the story but I want the "Cheapest Clean Title ISF" thread If it starts to blow up. If it gets traction then I definitely will tell the story. I really think I have a piece of history on my hands.
