New to Me ISF
Hey-
New to the club here. I have a GX470, however first time I'm venturing into the Lexus performance side.
After owning several BMWs I had been in the market for a E39 BMW M5 for the past several months as it was one of my childhood favorites that I wanted to cross off my list. Fortunately... I happened to peek at prices for ISFs and they definitely caught my eye. I've known of the car for several years, but just test drove a local one the other day and fell in love.
Anyways, I just went to the bank, grabbed a certified check, and will be flying a few states away on Thursday to pickup my Obsidian black 2008 ISF.
It has a clean carfax, long service history at Lexus, and I'm having a PPI done at the local Toyota dealership before taking delivery. I'll keep you guys posted with pics as soon as I pick it up. Here's to a smooth 10 hour drive back to North Carolina!
Thanks
Vik

Congrats on the F and hope everything works out with the PPI inspection at the dealer. I bought mine out of state too and drove it back home and it was smiles all the way back

Welcome aboard sakiv. A road trip is a great way to buy a car like the F, you're forced to bond. These things just eat the miles.
I did a Seattle - Bay Area no interstate round trip last year about 2 months after buying mine. Imagine you'll have some challenging "B" roads to enjoy.

I wonder if their tuners will take a stab at the IS-F

Hey Mike,
If you're near the Hot Springs, VA area you should come check out the "Wanna Go Fast" event there this weekend. As soon as I get back, I'll be heading up there Friday morning from Charlotte. Might even bring the F.

I might be interested in a drive to NC for an IS-F meet-up if it was the weekend of Sept. 16-18.. The NHRA will be in Charlotte, and I'd love get my world rocked by some 10,000 HP nitro funny cars & top fuel dragsters.

I live in Greenville, SC. I also graduated from USC a 'few" years ago
I picked my car up from Buffalo, NY. It spent 6 months out of the year in storage during the winter months.
The prior owner picked me up at the airport, then I drove the car to Niagara Falls, and all the way back to Grenville, SC. Needless to say that it was a fun road trip...
Enjoy your new ride and be safe!
