We've been looking at the Lexus Vehicles for sale section on this site and it seems these cars rarely pop up.
Looking at 2008 IS-F's in good condition around $30k price point and seems hard to find a good one. Doesn't have to be local as we'll travel for the right car but must NOT be a salvage car or have a checked history/past. Mileage is pretty flexible as long as it's not 80-100k range. Same goes for mods, color, etc.
Are these cars really holding resale value that well or is the market just slim on inventory?
thanks!

I think a 2008 ISF with 80k+ miles will be in low 30's. There aren't that many choices. Even cars with average miles with bad carfax are in high 30's. I was looking at the prices two weeks or so ago.

The low $30K range is not realistic for a car that is clean, not ragged out, and not over 80K miles. Maybe next year.

In So Cal the ISF is not coming up a lot. The ones that do are new(er) in the high $40k+ range or private party asking more than people will pay.
The cheapest local ISF I've ever seen was a year ago at a Mitsubishi dealer. 08 red with 80k miles for $36k but it was super well used. That car sat for ages so I think it had some issues.
I bought my 08 with 50k miles from a dealer for $38k a year ago. And when I now check prices things seem to be identical or higher than a year ago even with me being at 65k now. So my gut is that the ISF market in general is stalling since there is a limited number of cars out there.
I would be up for selling my car but only if I can find a 10+ replacement.

I put mine up for sale. I love the car and really don't want to sell it. In fact, now that I am getting text, calls and pm on the car I am thinking of keeping it. You also need to remember these cars are nearly 70k new.

it's keeping pretty damn good resale value to a lot of cars ive been looking at lately. if you are looking for an 08 with 100k + miles for the cheapest price, i would rather look at a diff model car the next step down with low miles. i feel that's not the right away to buy a car.
