mileage is really low and makes this a good deal, but owning an 08 I would mostly likely pay a little more for the lsd and the updated suspension.

Sounds like you already kinda have your mind set on the 2010+ model. I'd say just look for one of those, even if they have higher mileage. You should be able to easily find one that still has a good amount of the 4yr/50k bumper to bumper warranty in place.

If you can find a 2010 with say 30K-35K miles on it in your price range, especially if it has relatively new tires and a recent brake pad replacement, I'd do that rather than pay the same for a 2008 with virtually no miles on it. 30K miles on a Lexus is nothing, plus you have some of the factory warranty left.

Yeah, factory warranty FTW. I almost suggested go with the 08 with low miles, but realized it's 2012 and the warranty must almost be up already...You may want to get minor issues fixed under warranty for free.

With that said, resale values for the F are still relatively high, considering it's summer and it's so rare. I would say go with 2010+ and make sure you check for the things vbb mentioned; tires/brake pads/rotors are usually the most expensive maintenance parts to replace on the F.
