I plan on keeping the smiles and memories forever, but currently have mine listed for sale.

Yes, honey!...at the next stop she asks, Did we win the race?"....hahaha...the memories it's creating.
She must be adorable.

Probably for good. They are rare, fun and reliable. You just don't see this car.

My stable will eventually grow with more cars, just a matter of time.

Got 60K on it as of now and love it, I was saying 2+ yrs to my friends the other day but who knows.
Someone needs to break the ECU code so I can tune this **** and add a compressor to it.

Thinking about buying a GMC Typhoon I saw the other day so who knows

I'm loving my F..... I love the exclusiveness. Payments, insurance & maintenance are affordable for what we get IMO....
& I am a Yota fan day in and day out.... BUT.

Discount incentives on the new CTS-V are to be highly considered.

I'm planning to keep mine for the long haul. It's a great DD, and having four doors is a plus. I'll probably pick up a two door manual sometime in the future if I want something more sporty. The only thing that worries me about this car is the fact that there's no set maintenance for the transmission fluid. Sure Lexus says it's life time, but what's their definition of lifetime? This is the only thing that worries me about the car, cause I do want to track this car more.

I'm keeping mine for the next 200k miles, my goal is to hit 300k miles. I was at 118k miles on my last F but unfortunate even happened and she was a total lost. So I'm no a mission with this new F. Great DD and saving money for my future at the same time in the next few years. No more toys.

exactly this.

paid off, with 37k miles on mine. im thinking of always having it around until i have a very good reason to sell it. insurance is too cheap to be having this much power and luxury.

I agree. I will keep for a while. Have a ton of things I still want to do cosmetically.


RC-F is looking likely in the future.

Same here, cosmetically I need to give mine a fixer upper bad. Too much road debris causing scratches in the front bumper and weird areas you'd never think of. I'll be looking into the RC F GT3, as Lexus said they wanted to bring it here to the U.S. Next year. The IS 2nd gen body styling was love at first sight for me. It still moves me to this day. Which Is why I love this car so much, it's bold and robust. The new ones are great but it isn't the same thing.

I had planned on keeping the F for a long time, but I've been actively shopping for 996, 997.1 and 997.2 Porsche GT-3's.
