Thanks, I regret selling it😂! For now it's the wife's CT200 but when the time comes, it'll have to be something that provokes a deep and unique sense of satisfaction and exhilaration..its gonna be hard finding a replacement to the ISF. Many decades ago, it was the sale of my Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo II which I didn't think I'd get over...time heals I guess and you can look back in fondness😁!

I did see the other adverts and was wondering if I'd underpriced it🙈

Sold now👍🏼

Alas, the beast is sold. It was interesting to see the statistics on Autotrader. I had over 10,000 views in 6 wks and 20 callers. The great thing was that there were no buyers that wanted the car the same night as the wife needed it for the school run the next morning (strange being half term..)!! I had indepth conversations with many potential buyers and the more I told them about the car, the more I hoped they would not buy it 😆! All the buyers had never owned an ISF and some hadn't even heard of one..it was the advert that had reeled them in. There were a few 100k-phobic..I guess you gotta see it for yourself that this car isn't labouring sitting comfortable at xxxmph and ticking over at 2000revs!!! After many enjoyable conversations, it was the 'first to see will buy' though I despise that statement in an advert😂! The car went to the perfect buyer, an enthusiast with many famous race tracks under his belt and driving experience of numerous leading German brands. However, this V8 blew his mind and the throttle response was something he was not expecting. Just like myself, he was seeking something different and that is exactly what he got. The decision to buy was straightforward. In the last 6 yrs I've only seen two other ISF's and that is why this car is so special. As the new owner started up the beast and pulled away, I was absolutely gutted and still am. Nothing on the road excites me and with the ulez in effect, even hopes of owning a classic 190E have been dashed! It's planes, trains and Ubers for now!! Adios gentlemen, it's been a blast and such a shame that due to the pandemic, a meet up was never an option. Safe driving✌️

My guy was absolutely useless getting back to me..did a better job on the alloys I guess!!

I've asked the garage to get me the details but the refurb guy is on holiday so hopefully have an answer. When I bought the car, it already had the lighter shade alloys so not sure what they name is. Hopefully find out soon👍🏼.

The car is very discreet. If someone knows what it is, then and only then does it attract attention and it's usually from enthusiasts in my experience. The isF has a chain and water pump is pristine, so no concerns there. Had the major service in June '21. I've got a 3yr service plan so averages under £350 per yr including the MOT. 👍🏼

Considered it but would lose my medical;) Thanks Mark👍🏼

Cheers Paul..thanks for the intro too to the forum. I have only seen one other in the last 18mths and it had me grinning like a Cheshire 😂.

Hi folks, I have put up my isF for sale on Autotrader this afternoon. A reluctant decision which I know I will be regretting for some time but circumstances dictate so. If anyone knows somebody who may be interested, please let them know and any information required, I'm happy to oblige. Thanks! Mo

The questions have been asked and hopefully we get a favourable response John. Thanks again👍🏼

Very good point John and something that my wife will have to look into.

The Cat on my wife's CT was stolen a few days ago, grill damaged and sensor ripped out. All whilst parked in a 'secure' staff carpark! Lexus have quoted 1.5k to repair and fit the cat lock. We are contemplating whether or not to go through the insurance. The premium for the next several years will only shaft us further. Looks like everyone is making money except the victims!

Hi My F is 2010 with full lexus service history. I enquired with my local lexus dealership about purchasing extended warranty but was informed that they will not offer it due to the car being 10yrs old. I have a 3yr service plan with them and the car is immaculate but still no joy. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere, shame really!

Appreciate the welcome gentlemen, look forward to checking out the forum and a meet in the near future!

Thanks for the intro👍🏼..Signed up that evening:)

I was stopped at the traffic lights when the passenger in the adjacent car rolled down his window and told me that there were only 8 of the red examples of the ISF in the UK. He told me about the forum and I registered that evening. Already saved several hundred pounds ordering brake pads and discs from a members advice!! Thanks for the intro Womble72 and the pic of my car on the forum:)
