Has anyone on the forum owned this ISF?

Hi all,

I’ve been looking at various options about getting a new Lexus and saying goodbye to my trusty MX5 NC BBR.  I went to look at a LS430 (i use to have one) and in the end  I deemed it just a bit big for my needs.  While I know the F is a very different car it’s a V8 I’m after.  Not many for sale at the mo but this seems in the right area re mileage and age, though perhaps a little above my budget.

I’m yet to ring the dealer but may well do and I think it’s been on since the 31st of July.

So of course I’m wondering if anyone has ever owned the car or any thoughts on that car welcome.

Thanks Nick

I believe this car was for sale privately and later sold to the dealer in question. Decent price given the mileage and FLSH. Definitely worth a ring, or better still a visit and test drive.

MOT history seems good and hopefully accurately displaying mileages. First impressions OK.

Try and get a copy of the health check done at the last Lexus service maybe. They will have done quite a comprehensive report.

Thanks, I’m going to see the car on Friday.  If interested I’ll keep you posted.

I believe @C.B owned it before, haven’t seen him on here in a while though…

Thanks Frank and a PM sent.

Just booked my train ticket to potentially buy the car.  I’ll be stuck if it’s a wrong un as I’ve bought a single ticket.

I think it will be ok, however I wonder if some dealers are desperate are to shift them?  Today I’ve bought my wife a really nice 18 plate Honda Jazz and I’m looking forward to having two NA cars in the family.

Hoping you brought the F home 🙂
