I guess it's just the combination of a more practical 4 door & the fact that I got a really really good trade in value for the RCF that made me let it go.
Before selling it, I took off the gthaus exhaust and man does the stock one sound so weak.
I still miss the RCF, it was a nice stylish and powerful coupe.
Doug: the gt4 is fantastic, i'm still at 800km but I try to make as much excuses as I can to go out for a drive. The shifter, steering, exhaust, buckets, the whole feel of the car as unbelievable! I can't wait to track it.

Dude...Keep the RC F.
I've had over 60 cars in the last 15-20 yrs. Many Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, at least a dozen Lexus, 1 Ferrari, etc. My wife got creamed from behind in the RC F just a month after we got it. It's been in the shop now for a month and I can't wait to get it back. The only thing I would consider trading it for right now is a Porsche 911.

Interesting Thread... Just test drove this week a IS-350, a RC-350 F, and a RCF. All have their advantages... Right now going with the RC-350 F, which seems to provide me a little sports car in it, with a nice ride feel, and not to much price tag shock.

If i were you, i wouldn't worry about Underside Scratches...Resale wouldn't hurt due to the scratches being underneath the car.
Resale will be pretty decent for RCF in the future, Historically speaking ISFs are holding their value much stronger than the competition (i.e. M3, C63s) plus ISFs were sold at huge discount when they first came out...People easily received 10-15k off on 2008s.
You would be more upside down if you trade your RCF now for another car...But if you are unhappy with it, get the car you want

And $10-$15k off is nothing....the RCF can be had now for $21-$23k off of MSRP!!! $53k new on a $74k+ sticker
Your guess was wrong as well 😖
What did you decide to do OP?!
And to the guy above, the '17 RC350 Fsport is a cute, fun, quick car (had one for a rental while my '12 ISF was getting the airbag recall done), bit I'm here to tell you that it in no way, shape, form or fashion compares to a real F car. The 350 F sport was pretty quick 0-80-90 mph, but fell off quickly after that. The v8 pulls hard all the way up to 170+...mashing the gas in triple digits is like stomping the gas at 20mph in other cars....takes off quickly, no matter what speed you're at.
Sound is the next thing you'll lose out on.
With RCF prices new for $53k and used $49-$43k, not even sure why for the same money you'd buy a 350f sport. Even gas mileage can be the same in the F vs f sport....zero advantages IMO.
