Anyone owned a Lexus ISF?

[ChiSVT]

I want a nicer daily driver. BMW or Benz are so ridiculous when it comes to repairs and maintenance; or else I'd love to get a 535i.

IS-F gets great gas mileage for a 400hp+ sedan and they're supposed to be reliable.

The one I'm looking at is a blue 08 40k miles

Anyone here ever owned one?

Nobody owns one because of this car called the bmw M3 you might have heard of it

A friend had one on least for two years or so, it was badass and he never had a single issue that I'm aware of anyways. That's all got for ya

 

[ViciousJay]

i was looking at getting one a few months ago, still am for the right price

 

[LightningLou]

I think a better option would be the Audi RS4.

My wife has the older Is300 with the 2JZ N/A Supra Motor in it. Its not nearly as fast as the ISF but it is dead reliable. 110xxx miles on it.

Those ISF's are gorgeous, especially in that blue color.

If you get one I'll hate you!

I just can't get over those nasty looking quad-stacked exhaust pipes. While the service and maintenance on the M cars are expensive, look at an extended service warranty. Those can be negotiated if you are looking to buy one from a BMW dealer.

 

[Steve@TF]

the fake quad tips are gay. but the cars are sick.

see them all the time out here. FAR more than RS4s and probably about as many as the M3 (V8 version). for DD/street fun, id probably go with the lexus. more reliable and wont kill your wallet after the warranty expires. M3 for track fun. not that the M3 would be a bad DD either.

They pull pretty hard for the power. Some people may not love the 8-speeds, but I think they're great.

The early ISFs suffered from really stiff suspensions that made for decent handling but an awful ride. I believe after 2010 Lexus changed the suspension tuning and fixed that. They're good all around cars but I'd rather have an M3 sedan myself.b

I heard they are not able to tune those if your thinking o modding it. I think they are way overpriced and the maintenance won't be significantly less then the Euro cars.

I think I had one of those try to run away from me on the highway the other day. Needless to say starting 4 cars behind I was pulling :rolling:

Good looking car though!

That beastly diesel 5-series? I thought they weren't gonna be sold here. I'd love one myself.

 

[BlueSnake01]

I heard nothing but great stuff about the Lexus also besides being a bit too noisy and some tranny problems. I'm also in the market for a luxo car but a used under 30k and am very interested in Lexus.

I think he was talking about his new toy aka Ferrari 550 Maranello.

Not really a fan, horrible gas mileage, garbage reliability, insane maintenance costs and even insaner repair costs.

Getting one with a warranty, (certified) is easier said than done. They're considerably more expensive, trust me, I looked into it! Plus, I like that the ISF is a sedan.

The plan is, a nice daily driver sedan and another Stang! Right now, I'm looking at an ISF, 535i, GXP, (unlikely) or an e63.

Obviously, all used.
