£22k!!!! Only a (very) successful builder / property tycoon could afford that!

Wish I had seen this last week as I would have been very intrested. What a stunning example. 

Too late now though as I'm picking up my bmw 435d this Friday and my wifes having the lexus 250.

Would I be right in saying the asking price for this is top end for a 2009 ISF, even from a [non-Lexus] dealer?

Just trying to get a feel for pricing!

I'd say so, but it's white

Ha, white carries a premium does it?!

I do like white but not sure I'd be so picky, as it's not like there's a lot of ISF's to choose from!

£22k for a 2009 car, that is right at the top end, be very interesting to see what it actually sells for.

[Big Rat]

@Mark G Mine is a 59 plate and 18 mts ago with 30k on the clock it was £20500, now I know mine isn't one of those posh blue ones....

But you may also consider that prices are firming up 😉

Well as you and one or two others on here know, I think prices will firm up at some point, the Piston Heads feature did us no harm and hopefully the Modern Classics article will make things even better, although I do think they are asking top dollar for it, hopefully we will find out in the coming weeks.

Looks like the ex police one is up for sale. Reasonably priced as well!

Modern Classics.......... the new demographic for IS-F owners will now be slipper wearing, pipe smoking, beardy types that talk about CAMRA and the good beer guide 

[Big Rat]

The x cop car it's a 'steal' at that price me thinks 😁

It does look like a great buy BR. Were the police just using it for 'public engagement guff', or in anger?

@mondie As far as I know it was a proper Traffic Patrol Car so would have seen plenty of action.

There thousands of photos and write ups on the net about, but very little in the way of video footage except this......

Thanks Rat, not for me then ! Poor form on the sellers part not mentioning this, or am I too honest?

It's listed as ex police car, humberside being the first and only previous owner

nice price

assuming it didn't do 60k miles at 140mph in 3rd around hull.

I went to see the White one for sale near to me yesterday, the rear registration plate was on it and this is the car here, anyone know it a previous member possibly.

The exhaust can only be described as loud as the back boxes have been removed altogether.

A quick chat with the sales  guys who let me give it a once over, it needs a drivers seat bolster repair and 4 tyres all of which they say will be done.

Its a 2 owner car with a full history and Lexus warranty, also got the sunroof.

If anyone is interested in more if our your welcome to pm me.

Paul, how does the rear bumper look to the naked eye? In the photo the rear off side gap looks to be more than it should.

Yes, looks off to me as well especially when you look at the website pictures - the drivers side gap is about 1-3mm more than it should be so may have had a repair at some point in that area.

The bonnet also looks off a bit, off side front corner.

Yes, you're right but I think it may be the front bumper than the bonnet.

Its obviously misaligned as well.

[Mark G]

£81k price tag?? How, list price was just over £50k in 2009 I would have thought, where does another £30k come from??

[Big Rat]

@Mark6pot @rayaans @Mark G

Yes guys the Salesman showed me a large folder of worked carried out to the car by Lexus over a period of time, including replacing the sunroof, radiator, I can see the water pump has been changed as well.

I did note the various misalignments, it does seem to be a standard car except for that exhaust which I would suggest really is toooooo LOUD😖

Hi Paul @Big Rat you're providing an excellent service 😀 Was the exhaust even louder than my old car? (The ad for which has gone - wonder if it's sold.)
