That car has done the rounds indeed, on trailer I am guessing, however the original thread on this vehicle is almost 18 months old. 

If you have an interest in the car, maybe the colour ticks your box (mesa red is amazing in the flesh 3 stage pearl paint) then I think that it would be both lazy and nieve not to investigate this car further. 

Maybe to avoid wasting your time, send a message out to the seller questioning the points that were raised on the original thread.

Best of luck, there may be some haggling to be had especially given the time of year.

Good morning all,

I did indeed view this, and take the advice offered..  As the ISF as a model appears to be appreciating, and it had been my dream car for as long I had had known about them, I thought now was about the right time to buy.  

The choices at the time for about this price were this for 22k (2012 48k miles), a titanium with white interior for 23.5k (2012, 58k miles) or a 2010 in black for 22k (32k miles). I saw this red and loved it. All the work mentioned previously had been remedied, and I bought it with a bit of a discount, a Lexus service and delivery thrown in. I have also got a service plan and a Lexus warranty(unlikely to be used I believe, but you never know!)

Once I got car back, and had it ceramically coated (at Fresh layers in Chichester, if you're interested to know) you can see the results for yourself below!

An amazing car to drive, and I've had a few admiring comments already... I really love the Q car, and love that not many people know what it actually is!!

My DD is a LS430, so I get the best of both worlds... long live the Lexus V8!

Great purchase and well done. I did see it on AT but in the end I found a USB ISF which was my preferred colour. I'm glad its worked out for you and that coating has worked wonders 👍🏼

It's been 6 months and I did have to compromise a tiny bit, but considering there's only 184 road worthy ISF's left in the UK, I won't complain!

I couldn't agree more!

Fantastic.

I am a massive fan of mesa red. In the flesh it is a fantastic colour.

Red one just come up for sale - not sold on the rear lights but otherwise looks very nice:

That does look good, it looks fantastic in the right light! I agree on the lights though, but simply remedied I'm sure...
