Congrats, fellow Canuck......enjoy the new ride. You'll love her.

Paint and leather protection isn't a bad investment tho doing it yourself would be much cheaper.
Whatever you're budget suits....

Hope the weather improves for you out there.....

Dangit... my 4/1 joke didn't fly... Anyways...

The very one. And as far as I knew the last of the new '08s being sold at dealers. On delivery day I noticed they put a white '09 in the same spot where my car used to sit.

Will be sunny this weekend! Tho unfortunately I have too much stuff to do at home and in the yard... No time to take the F out for a rip...

How many Canadian IS-F owners are on this board?

 

Haha thought so. If it makes you feel any better, I never sat inside your ride.

I was there to try make a deal but obviously I offered less than you did, or the car would be sitting in my garage and not yours.

 

Haha! I'm glad to hear that! The first day I went to look at the car some old douche with an unzipped jacket was leaning his head in the window and his jacket zipper dangling and almost hitting the paint... I was inwardly cursing at him, "Get the FUDGE away from MAH car!!" lol...

I was surprised this would be the last new '08... I thought this color combo would have been desirable. I know they did have a white on black Series 1 that sold a week before mine. The other option at the time was a 1 year demo'd Silver on black in Richmond... had the ML package but 3000km penalty and 1 year less warranty... They weren't willing to budge from their posted price anyways so I told them, "see ya!"... It's probably still there now...

So what did you end up getting? (If any)

 

I like SGM best, my wife likes SP best, but we both thought Alpine white interior would get dirty easily as we don't baby our cars. Probably a big reason why I wasn't seriously bidding for your car just 2 weeks ago. Glad it worked out for you. Congrats! Hey are you willing to tell me roughly (PM me if you prefer) how much you got it for, so that I have a local reference amount?

I'm still not a Lexus owner yet. Thought the economy was bad and I had more time to negotiate. I saw a white F w/ the 'D' demo plates 2 weeks ago around English Bay, right after I left Regency, so that's probably a 09 then. I might buy a used IS350 in the mean time for fun, until I find the right F at the right price. Then my wife gets the 350.

And yup I test drove the 08 MM F in Rmd as well. I didn't realize you won't get the full 4 yr warranty if you buy demo. I don't mind the color combo but I definitely wouldn't buy it at tag price either.

 

It was probably this one... Yes, it's an '09.

HA! They want $69,470 for it even after 2800 demo km's?? Good luck...

But WAIT LOOK!! It's got "RAMBO Brakes"!!! Wow!! Must be an upgrade from Brembo since you know... DUDE, it's RAMBO!

 

OK now I see the silver demo F in Richmond is gone from their website..... ....Sulfur?

So this means no more new or dealer demo '08s left in the Vancouver region...
