Well tomorrow I pick up my new daily!

Late 2008 plate Lexus IS-F V8



Any one have any thoughts on these? From what I have read the reliability of these compared to the bmw/audi options is very good. MPG is also better than the german options as the lexus has the 8 speed gearbox.

Ill have some pic's and vids up asap!

 

looks sick, congrats

 

Congrats, Sick ride. Yes you definitely have that reliability with Lexus. Another member here has one in Blue. I'm sure he'll chime in.

 

reliability should be great

if i were buying one i'd look for the 2011+ year models they have the updated suspension, diff, and steering

 

Nice pickup looks good. Reliability will be better than BMW/Audi but services/upkeep will still be pricey (assuming you don't do it yourself).

 

Hell yeah I like these cars a lot. There are faster options in that price range, but overall these are great.

If I had to leave them stock I'd take one over a CTS-V.

Congrats!

 

congrats man. i saw your post on club lexus as well.


up keep on this car is cheap as hell, to be be honest. i haven't seen another car in the same power range that you can literally beat on every single day and not have problems or problems that would hurt the wallet. also what is great, lexus still covers when you are out of warranty with the F series. they will always help you in some sort of way. great customer appreciation. they seem to beat everything on youtube videos as well, lol. it def surprised me, didn't know how quick it really was, i kept believing the m3 forums and biased car magazines. boy was i wrong.

 

Very nice ISF op!

 

Congrats! Love the IS-F!

 

nomnom!

 

I'd love to get one of these, congrats op, keep us in the loop about how you like it!

 

Picked the IS-F up today!!

LOVE it so far!!! Awesome DD car... Great autobox very quite and smooth when driving slow/cruising but as soon as you step on it or use manual paddles is quick!

Noise over 3.6K rpm is just awesome! 2nd intake valve opens and the car just bellows!

Few pic's for you lot.

 

congrats!
