I'm in Love - Lexuspat - 27-01-2019
hi all,
thought i just let everyone know i'm in love.
yesterday drove up to my local Lexus dealer to pick up a new oil filter and while i was waiting for them to get the part i went for a stroll through there showroom, and thats where i saw it
a brand new Lexus IS-F Sport in a dark blue
it looked stunning with the hoshi dark 18" alloy wheels and the the sort of body kit,lip kit fitted
just wanted to know if anyone else has seen one or even had the pleasure of driving one
and the price for all this beauty just £29.995 on the road

The F-Sports are quite nice now, must have looked like this one

Haven't had a go in one myself, but can't imagine it's that different to a normal IS250?

thats the one i read the spec sheet and it seems very impressive

Marsdendean Shame the power is only the same as a charged is. Needs to be the 350 imo as the 250 does not have enough poke to look like an isf
then buy the IS350:thumbup1:

Marsdendean I'm saying that!!! Just seams a lot of money for what is an isf look a like!! Wonder how much an is350 is imported?!
I think FX rates still make that quite a pricey option - better off buying a used IS-F imho.

Gord used is-f for under 30k now
Yep, interesting how they have settled around that price though, it doesn't cost much more to get a newer one which is odd. Perhaps the price of competitors like the C63 are holding the price up, but then the M3 can be had a lot cheaper so it's a little confusing.

Gord Mate of mine went to px his is-f @ lexus stockport last september, he was offered 40k against new is-f this March, well this March here and lexus now offering only 34k :thumbdown:
So he gone and got himself new AMG :thumbup:
Was it the C63 he went for? While the IS-F is the sensible choice, the C63 is the one I think I'd prefer.

Marsdendean The isf are quite cheap now but the roar from the c63 is evil!!
The IS-F sounds pretty special over 3.5k revs too but yes the Mercs engine is something else.
