Just checked. The fronts are 8.5". Pre-2012 are 8.0-in.

 

I'd be picking up a 2011 IS F some time in 2013, after somebody else eats the initial depreciation.

 

You sir, are a lot more patient than I am.

 

You could pick up a 2011 IS-F right now and probably save around $8000.

 

Lexus should improve the the ISF stock w/ bolder fender for front and rear at least and 1" wider than a regular IS250. I can't notice much difference from the rear when I was looking both 2012 at the dealer side by side !

 

also save near 20k on 08
... sound very attempting !

 

08's are in the high $30k's which to me is the deal of the century. But if you have the money, the newer models are absolutely worth the additional $'s. For me the 08 has been simply-put the most enjoyable car I've ever owned.

 

---------------------------------
Here is the current common on the market prices in summary. Basically it the same car from 08

08 @ 40k
09 @ 45k
10 @ 50k
And
11 @ 55k
12 @ 64k

 

But I still love driving my 510hp E63 with only 42k on the clock everyday. The warranty is up in July of 2013, so I'll look at the IS F then. I did have a 2006 IS350 when they first came out.

 

I got my '08 over a year ago for $32.5K + tax = $34.6K out the door. Best car purchase I have ever made.

 

I believe the front fenders on the IS F are a bit wider than the 250/350.

 

Man, that must be deal of century ever if you have a good condition one . During 2008/2009 was best years for car deal. Well it could happen again if gas hit $5/gal. Deal may come for all gas guzzler top gun V8

 

I finally got my 2011 IS-F last week after wanting one for YEARS! Got it brand new for $52k. Couldn't be happier.

 

What's an amazing deal again ! congrat.

 

So just to clarify, aside from the obvious cosmetic changes on both the interior and the exterior, the 2010 model ISF does have bluetooth audio streaming (not the best, but it works) AND the mechanical LSD found in the 2011+?
