Assuming that question was to me since I test drove it, also I am talking about the 2011 at Royal South Toyota:
I personally decided an IS-F isn't right for me so that's why I decided against it but I can give a quick rundown of my test drive for those interested. Overall exterior is in great condition with no visible paint or bodywork problems. No rust that I could see underneath although I didn't have it on a lift or anything so I had limited visibility. All tires looked good with at least 50% tread left. Interior very clean, no smells of smoke. No vibrations at speed (had it up to 95mph). Only 3 issues I could find were a loose rear view mirror, very slight pull to the left when driving, and a burnt out fog light.
Omg, you're a life savior. I'm calling Royal tomorrow and going to deal with them on the price. I was going to buy it without test driving since it looks pretty clean on pictures and it has a clean Carfax. I was concern about rust but if you can't see rust (at least from where you're at) then I think it should be a clean buy. If it's still there tomorrow I this might be the 'one'.
Also it might be worthwhile to ask the dealer to put it on a car lift and email you some good pictures of the underside so you can see for yourself how it looks.

Not sure if you wanted black but for a little more here is one with >10k less miles and CPO
I'm not sure what I'm looking at, if you guys can shed some light for me on this. Is there any rust damage? If not, I'm going to bite the bullet on this F.
This is the underside of my 2011 with 47k miles. A Florida car all it's life
Hmmm comparing your photo with the dealership's, I think the dealership's ISF has a bit of rust if I'm not mistaken. Could probably be why it is a lot cheaper compared to other 2011 ISFs out there.
I paid 32k for my 2011 obsidian.but it had 80k. Highway miles. It's had an easy life. Carfax shows always serviced at lexus and my buddy looked it over. He's a master tech at sewell.
