A used IS-F. 2009 with about 20k on the odometer.

Just curious if you guys think it is a pretty good deal or not. Of course I will still try to lower the price as much as possible. Good news it my wife likes it too after seeing/hearing one at the last cars & coffee I was at.

I've owned a few performance vehicles in the past, but since owning my tsx I've lost the memory of what it's like to really own a monster. We will see how the test drive works out.

 

No. Look at the carfax, it had a serious accident. It had to be towed. And they want $43k? LOL

 

I'm 15 minutes away from there. When are you going to be in town?

 

I paid a little less for 4k more miles last year for my 08 but there was no accident and it included an 5yr 125k miles warranty. I would only buy that if you really check the repair and they seriously come down on the price.

 

They need to come down a lit with a serious accident on the ledger. Plus if the frame was damaged, then no way.

 

Its missing the M3 badge.

 

Aren't 09 M3s in the same price range?

 

Not even close. They are 8-10k more.

 

Yeah... the least expensive 09 M3 I could find with in 200 miles of me is $45,400 before haggling. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false
Which I would consider if I were thinking of 43K of the IS-F

 

Good catch, I would have requested said carfax if the test drive would have wen't good. I typically forget to ask about them up front.

Was suppossed to be today, read further...

Your car is literally why my wife likes them. She is not a car person by any measure, but the sound of that exhaust and even she had that shit eating grin. I will have to keep looking, maybe if I can make it up to Cary the one I linked will at least be worth getting a test drive done to see if I even like how it drives.

If frame damage gets mentioned, I wouldn't buy it. I know they wouldn't sell the thing cheap enough for me to consider a performance vehicle with frame damage.

M3? Whats That?
M5 or bust...better yet, V-series badge or bust if your going that route.

IS-F insurance quotes I got are about $150/month cheaper for me over the M3. Plus better mileage and to me superior looks. Only alternative I would take over the IS-F in that segment would be the CTS-V. I won't mention the insurance on that thing for me. It is weird how they come up with these prices, the ISF is only $4.00 more a month than my tsx, even as the primary vehicle having the TSX as the secondary.

Well at 3:30 this morning my wife woke up and requested to go to the ER. By 6:30 she had IV's, heart monitors, CT scans, Blood tests, Ultrasounds, and Blood pressure readings. Came back that she had a softball sized ovarian cyst. Needless to say I won't be looking at cars in the near future or at least until I get the all clear from the radiology lab that the cyst is benign. They gave her vicodin and sent her home. We will see what the future holds...

 

What's this monster TSX you speak of?

 

I hope your wife is ok. Best wishes.

 

The "M" also comes major reliabilty issues...OP find another lexo this one has been wrecked
