Im in the same boat as you. Looking for a 11+ also. From what i've been reading the only problem I see some people having is the valley plate leak. But besides that the IS-F seems very reliable and bulletproof. I wish there were more selling on the east coast. All I see is ISF being sold in midwest and west coast. =(

hate to break it to you man, but you will not find a clean 2011 with low miles in that price range.

even with a little more miles im fine with. My best friend owns a car shipping company so thats not the problem. Iv never bought a car cross country. Id usually like to check out what im buying before sending that much cash. Sometimes pics can be deceiving so how do you guys do it when buying a car cross country without looking at it or test driving?

@ NjzFinest - I just went through this process and I was willing to travel up to about 1000 miles to find the right one.Saw it, inspected it, drove it, bought it and drove it back. The best thing you could do is put a deposit down and fly out to take a look at it or have a friend in the area do it for you. Carmax is another decent option. Good luck in your search!
Here is one at a Carmax that might work for you: https://www.carmax.com/car/15332898

Had my 04 G35 stolen from the garage. They easily broke in using a coat hanger to unlatch the chain from the automatic door opener and the door quickly went up. This is a fairly common technique, but I did some mods to the chain so it can't be done again.
From there it took <2 minutes. The Civics are also hot theft items. For the 1st 2-3 years, G35 headlights and MDX ones from early 2000's were also being stolen. You can build a quick and cheap faraday cage for your keys if need be.... that is, when you get the new car.
Good luck!

I bought my 2012 Lexus IS-F with 77k, Lexus Platinum till March 26, 2020 or 100k. Clear carfax, no accidents, all maintenance performed at Lexus. $32.9k. Had it not had the warranty I probably would not have spent more than 30k looking for an 11+ (but that was my price range). I would like to say that I was a mad man refreshing craigslist, autotrader, cars.com, carmax every hour for about 2 months until I found one 400 miles away from me. Luckily I was up there for work the week he posted the ad and bought it 3 days later.

I would sell mine for like 15 grand over market value..... because I love it that much. It’ll probably follow me to my death bed, or I’ll trade it for a much, much faster Lexus someday when cars are much, much faster.
a 32k low mileage F is a lucky lottery win. Most people will never even see an add for one that cheap with low miles. The market is going up on these right now, they have stopped depreciating. I bought a very low mileage 13 knowing I could sell it anytime and make most, if not all of my money back. Mine is modified, which was a plus to me but a minus to some.
