thanks for the pm corrado , but I'll return your message publicly , I've kinda given up on the getting a ISF and set my attentions elsewhere . Must say she looks slick in black . Good luck in the sale 👍🏻

Cheers

Hi 

sort of , was after one via a member on here , I just seam to get one problem after another (nothing to do with the car or owner) it was all at my end . 

Jon

Hi 

I remember that from last time it was for sale , non standard interior . Anybody remember it ?

jon

Cheers

will have a look 👍🏻

Hi all . 

cheers for your replies , yes 15k is a bit cheeky , but the trade value is probably around 11k (ish) so if someone was thinking of trading there beloved isf in , I thought it could be beneficial to both parties . Mileage/owners doesn't bother me to much ...... but it's when you sell on , you could end up stuck with it (not that it's a bad car to be stuck with) so then its off to the trade , who go generally by the book and you then get a kicking .

Hi

Thinking of purchasing a ISF ! long shot i have 15k tops , there is one for sale in cheshire (my county) in my budget , but its a bit leggy (106000 miles) and 6 previous owners , which puts me off a little bit , so any one thinking of selling in the next few weeks and fairly local to me ? 

cheers 

Jon 

Hi

cheers for replys , seams to be a cheap(ish) car to run ........ Considering what a beast it is !!!

jon 

Hi

i don't own one (yet) but trying to get a idea of running costs (yes , I know they like a drink) what about new pads etc , any idea what a average cost ? What about servicing ? 

Cheers

jon

Hi

whats the average price for tyres for the is-f ? Do they have unique tyres ?

cheers 

jon

Hi 

arhhhhhh , got it now . It's really unfair on older emission high cars , they are going to get to a point , with the cost to tax ,  they will be worthless 

:-(

jon

Hi 

Now ...... Bare with me , say you drive a 09/10 etc Lexus isf (for example) which its in the top road tax bracket (£485)  when the new rules come in , in 2017 , it will go up to over £500 .

Now am I right in saying once a high emission car gets to 7 (guessing) years old (using the new 2017 road tax rules) the road tax drops down ! Does this apply to older cars (like the example I used here)   ??

your thought 

jon

Hi

dont forget the water pump and possibly cam rollers to complete a proper job 

jon

Hi

If I remember , I but LED sidelights in and chrome silver indicators when I owned her . 😙

Jon

Hi

I had a wheel wobble in my old rx300 , which turned out to be a egg/bulge in the tyre .

Jon

Hi

Don't get to excited ! Even the newer ones are pretty much stuck in the dark ages . Enjoy .

You ask away . 👍🏻

Jon

Hi Dave

Good choice ! Everything has been done inc cam belt , rollers and water pump . All plugs , gearbox oil and replacement diff seals . Car was polished to a inch of its life by myself and my uncle . Keep us posted (pm or list on here) on how you get on .

Jon

Hi

Well I am surprised ! It was a trouble free motor ! And Needs for nothing , so if anybody is looking for a sorted motor with no issues ...... Go buy it ! Anyone wanting to know about her ? pm me and I will tell you all the info you need .

Jon

Hi

Dunno who bought it , whoever did got a cracker 👍🏻

Trust me , she is a good un ! It's no skin off my nose either way , but please go and try as she drives like a good mint . Let me know how you get on . Worth paying a bit more for piece of mind ..... (Eg - you know the history etc) Don't you agree 👍🏻

Jon

Hi

Don't know if this would interest you but my old 2005 rx300 is for sale at "used car 123 Doncaster " . I owned it for around a year and did the Cambelt (well my mate did) he replaced the tensioner , cam rollers and water pump . Had all the wheels refurbished (known issues) gearbox oil and filter done using correct Toyota oil , new rear diff seals (known issue) and oil replaced , all plugs and filters done , tyres replaced and correct 4 wheel alignment done , even genuine wipers used and a/c re gassed and serviced She never missed a beat , sold her to my uncle , who had it for around 18 months , again , apart from putting new front discs and pads , never missed . He p/x at Lexus Leicester for a Gs450 , purely because he wanted a "car" again .

Leather is almost like new , everything worked inc stereo and nav , never smoked in or animals (apart from my 3 year old) air suspension works and never caused any trouble . All keys . Original panels , small paint repair on rear arch , key mark . Even the boot goes up and down

So to conclude " buy her" , as I and my uncle are sooooo fussy and maintain regardless .

Keep us posted

Jon

I do the same a Dan , one key , one plastic key ring 🔑

Hi .
