Only 90K mileage on this 96 RL. Lists for $3500
Wondering if these suffered from the same Honda V6 Automatic issues...

2009 isf for 35k, what do you guys think?

I'd say that is a solid deal considering the rarity. There was a silver one on here a few months ago for mid to high $30K with about 60K kms on it. If it's clean, no claims, local BC car with servicing completed it's definitely in the ballpark of good pricing.

<-----dreams of an IS-F as a daily.

tofu1413 06-09-2017 08:24 AM

great cars.

not as responsive or fast as the German four doors.... but totally the one to live with long term.

The series II cars with the LSD and the tach in the middle is the one to keep though.

nsx042003 06-09-2017 09:29 AM

^ 2010+ iirc, I still haven't seen one for sale yet. These cars are a keeper

white rocket 06-09-2017 09:56 AM

It's always 2008 or 2009 models I see for sale when they come up. I wasn't aware of that mid-gen upgrade. Good to know! There's a guy that has a red one(more of a dark burgundy) down the street from me. It is gorgeous!!

those series II cars command a premium and are so hard to find...


but it is nice to have a proper factory rear end !

The early isf ride like garbage, not really what you want in a luxury sport sedan

Prostrho 06-09-2017 02:38 PM

Regarding ISF changes.

2010 gets LSD but still old dash and old suspension tuning.

2011+ gets new dash and better suspension tuning along with LSD.

My sister texted me saying she wants to get a daily commuter with a budget of 15k.

she says:

I think it’s important to follow this order.

1. 2010+
2. Reliable
3. V4 or V6 (fuel efficient if possible)
4. Front wheel drive or All wheel drive
5. Nothing too dated (some technology probably bluetooth)

I've been browsing this thread if anyone has suggestions to narrow it down to a few makes/models, please let me know!! Thanks! In the mean time I'll continue browsing here.

Thought I'd drop by to mention that the first 3 are rentals for sale at a Hertz lot, and the last one is for sale at King of Cars, which was a part of an APA investigation to see how used car dealers were measuring up to VSA rules.

Bmw M3 Victoria City, Victoria 02 M3 SMG phoenix on tan but... $8000 for a coupe. Pics look out of province. Plate frame is BMW Grand River which is in Kitchener Ontario. Address on the map shows Calgary.
WTF. Gotta be some accident history too.

I had '71 250C (coupe), fuel injected I6, with a 4spd. That 280 is so tempting.

First. That 280 is spectacular. Throw a set of RS on there and you have a neck breaker, not that in its current form it isn't already.
Second. That phoenix can't be real. With the kiwi interior thats gotta be like a 1/10 build. Even if that thing has been fucking rolled 8 times and blown up with a grenade, then fixed with popsicle sticks and gum I'd want it for that price.

This beige Camry ticks all the boxes:
Used 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid for Sale in Richmond BC | OpenRoad Lexus Richmond

It even has a built-in Sharp air purifier. How's that for tech? :smug:
