  1. Oh God, I would love to own a IS-F already and you think about selling yours, the irony. 🙂 People say "can't buy happiness with money" (I believe that's a saying made up by the rich, so poorer part of the society won't start any riots 😉 ), but being able to buy an IS-F is pretty damn close to me! Good luck whatever you end up doing with yours, I'm sure you will choose wisely in your situation. 🙂
  2. There are massively long queues to get most of the new cars, hence many people who can't afford waiting that long just go for used ones. And since some of them used models are no longer in production... it all affects the prices in a bad way.
  3. Wow, guys, I was about to hit the sheets, but I just had to sit down and reply. I might not be that old, but I remember good ol' times with internet forums and thought such places had gone extinct. You proved me wrong and I'm glad haha. Welcome @ALAW 🙂 Yeah, I think it's never too late to change your decision, however I would prefer something semi-practical and although IS-F has no folding seats it does have 4 doors, so it counts on my list. 😉 Thank you @Vlady and I sure will! Amazing info, very helpful, cheers @steve2006. I was a bit worried about all the import hassle and expenses involved. After all, there are few IS-Fs appearing here and there, so it's not like there is no way to get them in the UK. I might not be buying just yet, but lurking around for them pretty much everyday already. 😉 And lastly, cheers for the heads up @DAN@ADRIAN FLUX and @Chris.S Again - cheers everyone for this welcoming, feels like getting a Lexus has another strong advantage - fantastic community behind it. 🙂
  4. Hi, I joined several days ago, but just now had some time to interact with you guys. Hopefully you'll appreciate my honesty, as I don't own a Lexus (yet!), planned to get 1st gen IS300, thought about swapping it to manual. I still really like the shape (and obviously the 2JZ-GE), but I'm thinking about something bit newer. GS 250 (from 2013 onwards) is nice, I prefer not having CVT. But it feels like the car won't fit my expectations, I want something more nimble and I feel too young for GS too. 😉 So the idea of V8 5.0 Lexus was born in my head, yes, the IS-F. 🙂 Not sure when exactly, but I will buy it, I'm determined. I'm a type of guy that would rather have smaller house and have a nice car than big, fancy house and no/crappy car. 🙂 If I may, do you think it is worth to pay so much more for facelift one (like 7-10k difference right now)? The big thing is LSD, I've heard is much better with mechanical one, but does it justify the price difference? Also, would you consider importing RHD from Japan for example? I'm doing a lot of research and any additional advice would be golden!
