There are older ones that are cheaper, I couldn't find any decent priced ones that were 2011. All of the ones that are 2011/2012 are priced around $40k+, with taxes and fees it could bring the total up to close to what he's asking except it doesn't have all of these mods (which are desirable to me). If you can find 2011/2012's cheaper than 40k otd, then I would consider it.

Well cheaper... NO, Mods, NO...One owner, fully serviced and after taxes and fees, maybe close to the same price. Yes...https://www.lexusofsacramento.com/al...=IS%20F&trim=F

Back to the ISF - that's a gorgeous car too, I love it. First time I've seen that interior color combination. I'm still "anti" with the price & the mods (particularly if he's had the rev limiter raised), but it sounds like you really like & want the car. How do you like the rims? If you're like me & prefer stock, you could always put the them back on & sell these ones to make up some of the cash. I'd toss the guy an offer for 45K, what can it hurt.

I wouldn't worry about the mods on this particular ISF as they are of high quality and if you like those modifications don't let it sway you from a possible purchase of this vehicle IMO. Now $52,500 is a lot of money don't get me wrong but that's the market right now and a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Like some of the members above have said offer less perhaps $45,000 and see if he/she is something they are willing to accept or not? Or they might be on Club Lexus monitoring this whole thread lol 😆 if so perhaps he/she can chime in on this particular 2011 example that they are selling 🤷♂️
If I was in the market for an ISF I wouldn't be looking at any stock ISF's knowing damn well I would be modifying the car and if I could find a example that was well modded and I could save some time and perhaps $$ getting a car with particular modifications already done then I would jump on this platform.

Not trying to be rude, but just wondering if you had a chance to look at the FS vehicle section on this forum? The benefit is many of these cars are enthusiast cars and you can track the build process, reviews, and issues just by looking at the posts. Just a thought...

Honestly, get a higher mileage ISF completely stock for 20k-25k, and then do your own mods to it. These cars are not affected in their performance from mileage but by how well taken care of they have been. The market is hot for almost all cars, and its gonna be a kick in the groin to buy a niche car like the ISF.
That said, that driver's seat looks beat for $52k. Those alpine interiors take a beating if you're not careful in maintaining them, and most have been thoroughly trashed by now. That car in Sacramento is local to me if you are seriously considering it. I can take a look at it for you and give you my opinion - I own a 2012 myself. good luck

You seem to think you don’t have to pay taxes on this one as well. Trust me, you will if you do the deal honestly.
Check the marketplace. We do indeed have cheaper ISFs listed here.
