Crazy thing is when I was looking to buy mine, the only color that kept popping up for me was MRM. I really didn't want this color and kept thinking, "wow, this must be the least desirable color out there" (no offense).

They dont look that good in picture, but the pictures don't do them justice. When I was looking for mine all i could find in my area were MM F's. MRM looks great in person. Im still stuck with my MM (which I think is the least appealing color). But its not about the color its about the car! I'll probably get mine wrapped.

I actually get compliments on the color all the time. Even met a local guy here with a silver one at Cars and Coffee and the first words out of his mouth were " WOW never seen a red F. Thats looks amazing" .

Its all in the eye of the beholder. I just think its a bit more bold and it stands out, plus nobody ever says that a beautiful shade of white, black, grey, or silver . I personally think the best colors for the F are the MRM and USB, but again its all subjective. Im just glad I found the the color I always wanted and I found her 4 years old with only 21k miles !! I had to pull the trigger. I miss my LS460 but rarely.....but she was gorgeous .

I'm not new to this forum but newbie to IS-F. I'm just learning about the IS-F and it's been very enticing

Are the production number noted in Lexus USA website world wide or just USA? It does note is as "Total Unit Produced". 2013 were only 139 units.

If I remember correctly those numbers published by Lexus USA are just for the North American Market I think? So about 5,200 total +/- for North America/Canada

I think worldwide production was about 11,400 +/-

# 11043, Nebula Gray Pearl. Purchased 01/05/2013, Serramonte Lexus (San Francisco, CA)

This was after I missed out on a 2012 model. This time the car never made it to the showroom floor.

Still remember driving it home over the San Mateo Bridge, thought I was dreaming or something.

Recently bought a 2010 MRM with all of 13,755 miles on it!!! Rochester, NY guy with 5 cars. Babied his F, drove it only in the 4 months the weather doesn't suck up there, and averaged 2,875 miles/year on it. What a find! I had a 2008 Mercury Metallic. Sold it as it was approaching 100K miles...missed it so bad bought this MRM one 3 months later. ISF's are great cars in any color!!!

Cmoffat, why did you sell the F as it approached 100k. Were you having any problems?

monacogp84,
No problems...my F was running great as it always did. Never had any problems with it. Was approaching 100K and the value (trade-in or selling it myself) drops precipitously after you pass 100K.
Traded my 2008 ISF in for another car. Drove it for 3 months and came across this low mileage 2010 MRM ISF. Great move!!! Love the "F"; best car I've ever owned and driven, so I got another one! Maybe I should have kept my 2008 and just driven it until it fell apart, but hey, that is water under the bridge now. Like I said, this 2010 with 13,755 miles is like new! I may just drive it forever.

Demand waned so fast after new hotness factor wore off. If the RCF and GSF never came around, this would be depressing!
