I agree with this and that's the type of deal I'm hunting for.

Ha no one is going to pay that for that car. Gonna sit there for a year at that price. You can pick up a 2012 for that price.

Hell, if they drop it to or will take $29k for it, lmk, I'll be there next day and drive it back to NC for a 3 day road trip. Will replace my daily duty IS300 for this and keep my '12 F for weekend warrior duties, lol.

On KBB there's only three cars with lower mileage in the entire US and they're all 2014's starting at $48k and going up to $59k.

For the rest the thread...

As far as people bragging about how little they paid for their ISF, the US is not some Icelandic state with barely 100,000 people where all prices are uniform. Cost of living varies greatly across the US even to the point in how much it cost just to register and insure the vehicle. Ask someone from California how much it cost to register and insure their vehicle (especially if it's coming from another state).

By the way, everyone needs and ISF... But no one would like the value of their vehicle if everyone had one.

CA rumors aren't true.

Paid $26.5k for my '08 with 73k from Arizona
~$230 to register at the DMV when I got to CA (+$40 smog at check station, nothing special just normal smog)
$85 / month full coverage insurance, 23 y/o male

I might be the exception though lol.....

I picked up an 08 last feb 2015 with only 6500 miles in immaculate condition I paid 36500 for mine last year. You guys make it sound like I overpaid. I had it trucked in from seattle.

So the "L" on your front end stands for loser. It's okay...



I paid blue book for mine and have no real complaints in terms of what I got. When I look at the older ones and how much it would cost to update I definitely feel like I got a good deal. To each his own I guess.

Well your first hand experience with CA is better than my hearsay or anecdotal evidence. Anyways, the point still stands I believe. Maybe not. Maybe car prices are more uniform since they can now be seen and shipped across the nation very easily. Much easier than decades past.

I feel the pros of a 2011+ far outweigh the minimal cost savings of finding a prior MY with low miles. Let alone the fact that if the owner takes care of the car there's likely minimal to no difference between a car in the teens and one sub 50. Especially on this chassis.

Now when I was shopping M3's, f yeah I would pay more for one in the teens than one 60k and above.

Hummmm..It sounds like you didn't have to pay sales tax on your purchase if you purchased it in AZ and registered it in CA. Cuz 230 sounds like a steel. The rumors are true. The registration for my Wifes Volvo XC-90 was over 400 bucks a year. i paid the first year and then i registered it in OK for a whopping 28 dollars..
My ISF I purchased in TX and registered it in OK on the way home because when I checked DMV I would have had to pay 8.3% sales Taxs on the purchase and registration fee of 568 or some crazy ****.. so i said pass..


Personally I wouldn't pay that asking price for that ISF but thats me, Some people may see this as a good deal. if you want a clean example of an ISF this is def a good example to purchase. Its clean inside and out!! I probably would do high 30's.on this one... seeing I spent 35K for my 2011 USB last year!

I'm definitely liking the flat rate $50 fee for tabs every year. Thought states gave up the annual rape 15 years ago.

If its just a "toy" car, $38k buys you a nice, not ****ed around with Toyota Supra twin turbo as well. Choices . . . . .
