Up for sale is my mint 2010 Lexus IS-F.  It's finished in the best color, Matador Mica Red over black leather interior.  The car is fully loaded except for park assist.  It has been dealer maintained it's entire life and had every oil change done at a Lexus dealer.  Absolutely no issues and has been remarkably reliable with zero issues in the time i've owned it.  I'm extremely anal retentive and pride myself on keeping my cars very clean.  The leather interior is cleaned and conditioned every other week.  The car is washed once or twice a week using the two bucket method and a foam gun to ensure no swirls or scratches are put into the paint during cleaning.  As you can see from the pictures the paint is gorgeous and looks like a red mirror.  It gets a paint correction every 6 months to keep it looking perfect.  In the sun it's truly incredible and turns heads.  By far the best color for the IS-F (though i'm obviously biased).  Car includes 2 sets of floor mats (one brand new) and one original set as well as a ISF sunshade from Sewell Lexus.

With so many 08 and 09 IS-F's on the market at sub 40k prices it's prudent to explain why the 2010 is worth the extra coin for those who haven't researched these cars.  The differences for the 2010 IS-F are as follows:
  • Hard Drive Based Navigation (Upgradeable via USB with Lexus Map updates).  Not DVD based like the old ISF.  Interface and maps are much more high-res.
  • USB/Ipod/Bluetooth Integration
  • True Mechanical LSD (not "e-LSD" that is terrible).  The acceleration from a dig or out of corners is entirely changed.  Transforms the car on and off the track (though my car has never been tracked).
  • Revised Suspension
  • New Sport Steering Configuration
  • Black Interior Trim Around Navigation
  • New Wheel Design
Overall the 2010's are the first revised version of the IS-F and a distinct upgrade compared to the 2008/9.  The 08/09's were also susceptible to navigation failure as well as waterpump leaking.  The waterpump on this car was pre-emptively replaced by Lexus with the new version under warranty to protect against this possibility in the future. 

The car is being offered up with a low reserve realistic for a car with these amount of miles and in this condition.  If you want a cared for car that will give you no trouble this is the one.  It is enthusiast owned and only being sold to move into a GTR.  I truly love this car and it's a spectacular all-rounder that can hang with the M3 and C63 without the reliability nightmare and maintenance costs and liability.  I work from home so it's not daily driven by only taken out as more of a weekend car.  It's garage kept, warmed up fully, and only used in manual mode after the transmission is warmed up to "2 bars".  This is not a car that has beaten or abused in any way. 

Car is available for inspection by 3rd party or PPI.  A 1000.00 non-refundable deposit is due via Paypal or wire within 24 hours of the auction close.  I reserve the right to end the auction for a local sale.

UPDATE: There are 5 unsold Lexus LFAs left in the U.S.

Wed, Aug 2 2017

UPDATE (April 9, 2019): This year has been a solid year for LFA sales with three more finding homes. Interestingly, all three were sold during the month of January. By our count, that leaves five of the supercars left unsold.UPDATE (January 3, 2019): The countdown of Lexus LFA sales continues. In the time since our last update, Lexus sold another of the supercars. That means we're down to 8 LFAs unsold in the U.S. Check out the whole story on unsold LFAs below. We'll also continue to monitor LFA sales to see if/when all are sold.UPDATE (April 5, 2018): Since we first ran this post, Lexus has actually sold 3 more LFAs, meaning that there should be 9 more remaining for sale in the U.S. Read on to learn more about how there are still a few new ones on the market. While we were digging through automaker sales figures for July, we found a few odd sales of discontinued cars, but the strangest by far was the inclusion of the Lexus LFA in Toyota's numbers. Apparently, a dealer sold one in July, and even more amazingly, six were sold last year. This is remarkable because production ended for the LFA way back in 2012, and there weren't many examples to begin with. So we reached out to Toyota for more info, and we have good news, sort of, if you missed out on buying a new one when the car was, well, really new. According to a Toyota representative, there are currently 12 9 8 5 LFAs around the country that are officially classified as dealer inventory. We also asked about overseas cars, but apparently those numbers weren't available. Still, 5 technically new LFAs is a shocking number. The representative also gave us a detailed explanation from Lexus International on how this might have happened. Basically, for the U.S. market, Lexus said the company intended to only take purchase orders on LFAs from customers to avoid price gouging and speculation. However, in 2010, orders started to drop off, and to make sure cars weren't sitting at the factory, the company allowed existing LFA holders to order a second car, and also allowed dealers and executives to order cars for themselves or for selling at dealerships, and some of the dealer-ordered cars still come up from time-to-time as new sales. So the cool news is that you might be able to still buy a new LFA if you really want to. But that's a big might.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

Next-gen Toyota Tacoma to debut at Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Toyota's confirmation comes on the heels of General Motors' successful launch of its own midsize pickups. The next generation of the Toyota Tacoma pickup truck will be revealed in January at the Detroit Auto Show, a top executive confirmed Thursday. Bob Carter, senior vice president of automotive operations for Toyota, offered no other details, but the new version of the pickup is expected to have significant upgrades compared with the aging model on sale now. Our spy shooters caught a prototype testing this summer, and rumors of the new generation have been swirling for months. We've also previously reported that Toyota is planning to ramp up production next April at a factory in Mexico that builds the Tacoma. Toyota's confirmation comes on the heels of General Motors' successful launch of its own midsize pickups, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, which have garnered awards, positive reviews and solid sales since they arrived in showrooms this fall. It's unclear how large the new Tacoma will be, especially considering that the Canyon and Colorado flirt with fullsize territory. The Tacoma was last updated in 2012, and the segment has changed dramatically since then with the addition of the GM trucks. Another Tacoma competitor, Honda's aging Ridgeline, is also expected to re-launch in 2015, which would leave the Nissan Frontier as the oldest truck in the field. Tacoma sales have slipped 4.1 percent to 140,757 units this year, though they posted a 3.3-percent gain in November. Meanwhile, Carter also said Lexus will reveal two performance vehicles, though he didn't elaborate. "I'll leave it at that, but I promise you'll enjoy it," he said coyly. Lexus just showed the LF-C2 convertible concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
