If it's got black buttons, but no blue bit on wheel. It probably has the updated HDD nav, bluetooth audio etc. But doesn't have the newer suspension stuff that came in a year or 2 later.

Sorry to put a spanner in the works, Toothy! Mine had the black buttons, was a 2008 model without the LSD (and blue trimmed wheel obviously!), but didn’t have HDD nav or Bluetooth audio!

It did have 2013 suspension, but that was my doing! 

It seems the ISF upgrade/facelift transition isn’t so clear cut! :-)

This details the yearly changes

Don't worry about the mileage to much, my car is a 2008 with 114750 miles and it's only recently I feel a wee bit of difference traveling on rough roads, a feeling through the steering wheel that points to ball joints or bushes. Everything else running great.

Hi guys just wanted to get you input on buying a high mileage Lexus ISF.

Its a 2009 Facelift model With 110k on the clock 

full Lexus history obvs 

shout me your thoughts guys!

How many miles is on the high mileage one 

[GibletPH]

I had a late 1997 LS400 earlier this year with over 180k on the clock. A few bits were a tad tired but on the whole it was still in good condition. 

I imagine a high mileage ISF would be fine. Plenty of them across the pond.

The ISF? Nope, picking it up next Saturday. The owner was busy today and needed some time to get his private plate removed.

Velvet black and 2008. My last one was the same colour and age. This one has slightly more miles than my last one though!

[ISF V8 JAY]

Go on how many miles?

everyone says these go on forever!

i was going to go for black but went for the grey like my old is250 I had

[GibletPH]

91k, I think my last one was around 41k when I sold it.

As you already know, its nothing for a looked after modern engine, some of the taxi guys are running cars to 250--300k on basic servicing without problems, I am sure the Lexus V8 at 91k will be fine for years to come.

Yup. I have every faith in it. I have a track record of changing cars too often but I’ll be trying to keep the ISF for a while.
