If the pandemic didnt happen, my F would have over 200k right now. Its currently sitting at 182k with less than 2k miles driven over the last 2 years. I love checking back in with this thread to see how well rtan's F is running, even way past the 300k mark!
After reviewing the records my only concerns for this car were:
1. his oil service interval was 10,000 miles
2. complaints of car over heating resulted in radiator replacement (any damage from over heating?)
3. It has been driven year round (snow tires requested many times) in a state with severe snow and highly salted roads
From a general review of ISF:
1. I am surprised to see the rear calipers and 1 front caliper (Brembo) having problems with seizing and needed replacement (perhaps due to snow/salt climate)
2. In frequent oil changes did not seem to effect the cars longevity
3. From pictures, the interior has held up well.
4. no transmission services or problems
5. some people actually buy tires from a car dealer
6. Exhaust manifold crack can be repaired? Says resealed on service report.
Are you close to this car? You live in Georgia didn't know if it's for sale close to you (Winder, Ga) as it would be interesting to see what kind of condition this one is in🤔
This has been on the forum before, it was bought at auction and reconditioned a bit, they tried to sell it once before, but looks like it back up for sale...
My 2011 reached 222,222 the other day.
Going well, just did diff fluid a month or so back, air filter the other week, oil change today, and I will be prepping to do transmission service.
If I had more gas money, I'd just drive *everywhere*
I have a GS F, but the reliability of IS F was one of the big factors why I bought it. I'm around 45K miles (73K km) with 0 issues. One of the few performance cars I don't care about warranty with.
