This explains the drivers side exhaust section we shipped to a body shop in Nothern California towards the end of 2011....

I think I remember that guy coming on here and sharing his story about this. I want to say he was rear-ended badly (drunk driver at 60+mph) on the freeway with his g/f in the car. I'm sure we can find the story, but as soon as you posted those pics, Joe, that's the first thing that popped in my head.

EDIT: FOUND IT. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...o-my-ride.html Yeah, it was JMBillsta's ISF.

Everyone is waiting on 2013 redesigned IS...

Plus these are too expensive in my opinion. I'd pay no greater then 30k for a used 2008 F.

Consider this one in the link below if you will. I was interested in it but walked away after talking them down to $29k.... It's been at their dealership for sometime now too. I walked away after learning about the 2011's revised suspension and comes with LSD which the 08's don't.

Who did you talk to there? I would like to give them a call to see if they'd still do it for 29. Thats the best deal i've heard right now.

A nice all black 41K miles 2008 IS-F on eBay. 38K

If I was going to buy a used one. I would wait for the first Autoblog picture of the new model to come out. Then walk in with cash.

The car paint looks weird. Maybe it's the picture.

I had a black one and just sold it. The picture looked a lot better than this car from the side. The shine on the side pictures look like the black has a weird shine.

I have an '08 with 35k miles on it, and I would honestly sell it for what I owe (<$35k). The only caveat is, you have to find me a 2010 or newer, less than 15k miles, for no more than $44-45k.

I looked at other IS F and they aren't selling that cheap unless they have a salvage title or high mileage. I just financed mine and was told it appraised for 42,000. I think fair value is 35-40. I have an 08 fully loaded black one. 32,000 miles.
