Ive driven the isF before. You can feel it's not the lightest car, and I don't really enjoy driving automatics. BUT it's a Lexus. Definite build quality, a fantastic motor. If you enjoy driving but don't do a tonne of canyon carving this is definitely my pick. Can't be sure but I would say it's a safe bet maintenance will be cheaper than an e9x m3 or c63.
Oh, he cockpit feels a bit cramped up. Just the layout does not feel roomy. I've always disliked the is250/350 for that. Very poor choice of window switches, way down at your knee

That IS-F has to be either scam or have some serious accidents. Too little info is provided too.

You can tell that the ones that put alot of effort in their ads are the ones who generally care about their cars and have cars that are well taken care of

Is all the preventative maintenance done on this particular car? | The ad claims hollow spoke turbo wheels but those pictured don't look like 996TT hollow spokes.
If you're able to test drive, get the engine up to temp then walk around back and listen for noisy lifters - is one bank louder than the other? This drove me mad with my mk2. Since it's raining today, check for water leaks along the bottom edge of the door panels. Feel for dampness all carpeted surfaces in the cabin and the trunk.
I too am curious about the VR tuning... if it can be removed/rolled back without messing up the DME.

I almost bought one in December from Jim Pattison for $35K.

Edit: Extras: 1997 E36 BMW M3 Coupe Estoril Blue - E36 M3 1997
that m3 has been for sale a bunch of times in the recent years. probably driven hard. though i can't confirm. estoril is overrated IMO. but everyone seems to love it.

Hard to say on the miata. Prices are going up. I paid 3200 for my one owner low mileage (like 110k) with hardtop. But the paint had the 90/91 white flaking issue

| Tricked Out 2014 Honda Grom For Sale (No Freight, PDI, Doc Fee Etc!)
Someone pick this up! It's got a butt load of extras and the price is less than a new one. Buy a new one for $3800. Or pick this one up. I know no pics. But go check it out. Its clean and has at least $1k worth of aftermarket parts. It's not mine. Its another member from my Grom Facebook group. Guy needs money for medical bills. Owned by an elder gentlemen, so it's been well taken care of.
Easiest motorcycle to ride, I love mine and ride it like I stole it.
