They're only coated and are the stock rims. Should be able to get them back to stock. 

 

 

Love seeing that every GSF I see listed since I've bought mine is just getting more expensive 😂📈

if they are original diamond cut then its a costly change, they seem to be going up yeah!! the blue one went on here for 33k i think so an absolute bargain!!

That's because I pick it up Thursday.  Blue one is still 'available' too - but that's also sold.

They keep the adverts up until the car is actually gone - up until that point, who knows what might happen 🙂

I was a GS F owner but mine is now the Blue one for sale on the Monza website.  Brand new RX 450h f-Sport on order now so I'm staying in the Lexus fold.

thats the one i wanted! 😞

I've been keeping track too, those 3 USB ones haven't been up for sale very long, only a matter of time before they get snapped up.

Lexus gatwick have a black one for sale at £29750!!!!!!

and not forgetting the lovely mesa red one doing the rounds :S

Hi everyone.

I've been browsing through this forum a while  now.

I'm really drawn to the lexus isf, the combination of a reliable v8 that makes an awesome noise with lexus reliability is hard to beat.

A few questions please 

1. Are there any owners in the south london area where I could take a look around your isf :). I'm based in purley cr8. (I used to live in selhurst and one would rumble past my flats most mornings, it sounded amazing, anyone on here?)

2. I've read about the transmission radiator  fault, are there any other common faults that can flare up on these cars (I appreciate the youngest are about 8 years old now!).

3. What is mpg like on the motorway? Low thirties? I used to have an alfa 147 gta so I'm used to high running costs lol.

Thanks all

Jez

 

Good choice Jez,

ive owned 2, never had an issue.

once you’ve had one, you’re gonna wish you bought one sooner.

simply all round great car, I used mine on weekends only. Drive as a cruiser.....then off into sport mode and paddles it’s another f****** animal 

p.s excuse my French 😂😂

Where abouts are you?

You know what they say...proof of the pudding is in the eating. My RCF is now sold. Full sticker price. I guess it wasn’t overpriced after all. 

was in no doubt your carbon would sell! bloody rare!!! 

Get the GSF, buy the gs450h and forever regret it ..... 😊

Great car and great colour, love the very modest modifications, really makes it snap.
 

Going to put my Carbon up for sale I think. Fresh service, fresh pads, fresh front tyres and fresh MOT - I think it’s time. 
 

...is consensus that A/T is best marketplace these days?

Autotrader is the best place by far. What colour combo is yours?

Wow, Shes an absolute Beauty!!! 

WOW! the colour looks amazing!

Delighted to tell you that the car sold to the first person to show up looking at it.  He said it's exactly as advertised and took no time in saying he wants it.  Very happy with the buyer, he's from the same cut as myself and my father, and will take great care of it.

He and a few others thought the advert was hilarious and helped bring their interest, boring "basic" ads lack personality. Over the top is entertaining, and keeps people reading to the bottom.

 

Tango passed in January and I had the pleasure of driving the car for about 1,000 miles but decided very quickly it isn't for me.  I just wanted to drive his prized car, listen to his iPod, remember him and put it through some action before selling it on to a wealthier owner who can take care of it properly.  I drive a racing V6 MR2, and a cheap(ish) boosted daily driver that I built myself - as you can probably see from the advert photos.  Driving an expensive super saloon is like dangling a Rolex out of the window that I was gifted and didn't earn.

£16,800 was not overpriced it would have sold for £17,500 maybe £18,000 but my patience is thin.  

 

RE: the Bose system, I was only describing from memory and someone messaged to let me know it was the ML upgrade, not Bose.  Adaptive suspension perhaps not but certainly feels like rebound settings are harder in Sport than normal, immediately noticeable when going down crap roads or motorway.  If you don't think the car hunkers down immediately on pressing Sport and appears a bit harder, then you perhaps have ancient butt cheeks 🙂 

 

I appreciate the kind words for my father, he was very fond of the car and we took great care of it together.  It has since been clayed, polished, coated and kept pristine by myself and my friends. I read his old posts on here and was delighted to see how much like me he was while I was away at university and missed a lot of the IS250 stuff.

 

I'm amused you thought a funny OTT advert would delay the sale, I think any other person would have taken it immediately as well. 

At the end of the day its down to how much some wants to pay for it, these ISF's are becoming more anyway.

does anyone have a white one for sale? 🙂

@ISF V8 JAY you referring to the exhaust? best mod. Improves driving experience as you get more of the v8 growl at lower rpm as opposed to have to always rev it to open the second intake to enjoy any sound.
I have spent more time using the paddle as a result as well to get more out of the exhaust.

I was constantly using the paddles before, It’s definitely a must have if you own a ISF!!

Well, as of Saturday it will be  😀

 

 

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

The chances of a isf getting for £9,000 is gonna be very very very very Slim if not impossible at this stage unless it’s been to the moon and back a few times, these cars are rare enough as they are but no unicorns hahaha.

The market is dependent on condition, and history.

The ones that normally hang around are ones with a partial lexus history and condition hasn’t been great.

talking of ISFs, in the market for a mint, full lexus history, white or USB! 

👍🏽
