Looking for help in finding an ISF

Welcome! Your LS looks good!
I'm biased, but I LOVE my SFP with red interior!!! That was the color combo I wanted and didn't want to "settle" for anything else! After over a year looking, I almost "settled" on a black with red interior and found a grey/charcoal one with red interior as well. Finally talked myself out of that as well and continued to wait. One day the perfect one popped up 12 hrs from me!! Less than 2 weeks later I had it here in NC����! Just a rare and mean combo for an F. The USB Fs with red interiors are pretty nice as well.
But searching for a particular color combo in the '12, '13, '14 model year will test your patience and your wallet. No room for negotiation, no time for spare after its listed if you want it... especially if it's a 1 or 2 owner, clean title and carfax, well maintained, and low miles. Good luck with your search!

All is very true. I missed a 2012 NGP from Serramonte Lexus 4 months before Christmas.
When a 2013 NGP with black interior showed up a week after Christmas, I bought it on the spot, heck it never even saw the showroom floor.
If you see what you want, be ready to pull the trigger.
If the demand stays at its current rate, prices will stay high, thus the supply is GONE.

Although SFP isn't a bad choice I really want the red interior. I've thought about settling but I'm trying to avoid it.
I'm ready to purchase as soon as the right one pops up. Funds are ready.

I understand your top choice is SFP with red interior?
What is your second and third choice?

What cars have you looked at so far? Texas has a good supply of ISF's on average. I've seen a bunch of them.
Well I was about to purchase the one in Cali from the seller that backed out.
Then I made this post and another member here said he might be willing to part ways with his SFP red interior F, very cool guy upfront with the vehicle but idk how I feel about it not having a 100% clean carfax. It would be my first time with a vehicle not having a clean sheet. So that's a maybe idk yet.
I understand your top choice is SFP with red interior? Yes I'd like to say that's my only choice
What is your second and third choice?
2nd choice would be SFP with black interior other than that .. That's it. White is right! Lol

^ ex Texas cars, I was eyeing it while it was here at the dealership cars fully loaded all it's missing is the red interior lol! It would be prefect.. Car didn't sell here for I think $43k and it ran through auction and ended up in Cali that dealership has been sitting on it for a while. Dropped the price about a grand or so

What's your input on one of these cars not having a clean carfax. For instance the one I was talking to a potiential seller .. Seller said the previous owner had a minor collision on the rear bumper and they just went ahead and replaced the bumper cover and that's it. What that steer you away from buying the car?

That STG group white one in California has been on auto trader for a while now. A member on here told me his friend had a bad experience with STG (wrong year parts shuffled around, missing engine cover, etc) so i didn't even bother with STG.
But who knows, maybe its legit? You might even be able to bring the price down considering it hasn't moved.
If you plan on keeping the car, then a minor body repair shouldn't steer you away. Just make sure the damage was minor. Usually, the advertised price speaks for itself. Clean record cars with no body damage history seem to carry a high tag. If the price is too good to be true, Id question the living hell out of it.

^ I saw that one and btw that dealership I believe it a Ford dealership just took in a SFP black interior in as a trade. Previous seller had it on auto trader or cars.com i forget which site. The blue is nice I'm a fan but idk if I could drive a blue car everyday unless of course some exotic car but idk id like to keep it white. And I'm pretty settle on the 12+ models.

bkuhl- ah the cars seen rain!! Not interested. Lol jk jk.. Good looking car, fan of that color 👌🏾 but I'd like the solid red seats... Your seats are perfect for those that still want to keep the alcantara centers forsure
TheBuyer- oh wow, did they call you and tell you the price reduction? And yeah that SFP looks like maybe it's been modded before? Idk the black part on the bumper just wants to tell me it's seen mods before. I'd like to buy as stock as possible but not a deal breaker. You still considering picking up the USB?

That's a good looking combo. That interior!! So nice...It has an accident listed on carfax 😏

If the seller can provide documentation of the repair and the shop has good reputation, maybe, but only upon personal inspection.
