Really?? There is nothing on autotrader with those miles under $45,000 unless you go back to Atlanta Auto Lease which is a lot full of wrecks. I was thinking more like 43-44.... The same dealer has a MRM CPO w/ 53000 miles for $39,000. I figured 5k for 25000 miles less was good.

Here in Vegas a used 08 with low miles is going for at least $45k at the Lexus dealerships.

For the Silver one at Carmax.

Same goes for the Rear Wheels... In case anyone else didn't notice...

That is a fantastic dealership to work with, if you call them I'm sure they can help you. Ask for C.J/

I am not buying the silver one. With the few visual mods it had and the fact it looked like there was an aftermarket intake installed and removed I decided to pass on that car. I see it back up to $37,900 on their site.

Right now I'm torn between a 2008 Supersonic blue w/ 42k for about $39,000 or the MRM one in Alabama with 35k for 43,000. The only thing holding me up is the color decision. Also I wonder is 7k worth 4 grand.

Go get that silver one!

^^^ Good work and descision on ID-ing the mods and passing up on the car. Don't be frustrated, take your time.

After looking at autotrader, (Where I found mine) I would have to say the prices are rediculously high right now. It has to be b/c of summer I guess. The prices definitely will level out at around August/September. My 2009 USB with 12.5K miles bought last Aug/Sep, and previously owned for only 10 months was bought for $44K.

But here are some prices I think are reasonable with another 1-2K off the asking price.

Now what color do you want again or what is your fav. color?

1 - http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false Best pricing, IMHO for this time of year. This one is good price at $39K, but $41K is OK if you can't wait. But any used car is negotiable, so don't pay the $41K for it.

2 - http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

3 - http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

4 - http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

And this one is an example of how rediculous price is right now. Rediculous meaning the dealers probably have never seen one and think it's some sort of super rare special edition.... Even the front wheels are on backwards.

Wow looks like they are cheaper up north? There is only 1 on autotrader within 200 miles of me that's under $43,500. That one is the silver one at carmax, lol.

The dealer in Alabama wanted nearly 47k for the MRM 2008 CPO with 35,000 miles. I have them worked down to roughly 42k on that one. Sounds like it may still be too high though....

Bah.

This sucks. I really want to buy this 2008 Blue IS-F they have at Carmax but it's in White Marsh, Maryland. Great price and good mileage. I'm skeptical about taking the dealerships word for the quality before having them ship it down. I'm not obligated to buy it if it is not legit but I would have to pay the $495 shipping fee. I was tempted to fly out there but a $200 plane ticket, $40 cab ride, and the chance of not liking it up there adds up to more than $495.

I'm not sure but it looks like he parted his out back to stock so I assume he may have sold it.

Did he have a black painted grill and yellow fog lights? Also Smoked vinals on the turn signals up front.

I had my ISF shipped from car max and they told me the paint was in great condition, and it was fair. They buffed out all the small scratches and had the hood repainted at an authorized Lexus dealer since some rocks chipped the paint. If there is something wrong, Carmax will make it right no questions asked. Lol
