Topic starter

Ive been wanting an ISF for a really long time and I wanna hear scotty and yalls opinions about it before I consider buying one.


Clarification: This is for daily driver? Also, how many years and miles do you need it to last you?


It will be a daily driver and im lookin to find one thats not driven the heck out of with reasonable amount of miles, close to 100k.

Realize maintenance/repairs on those will be higher than a non-F version.  Just replacing the starter and knock sensor on those V8 engines will cost several thousand dollars when they fail.  I would recommend IS350 over ISF for a daily driver.  Nevertheless, if you have the means (budget) then you will need to find a good example that does not have multiple owners and has not been abused - that will be tough.  And be sure if you find one to have an independent, honest mechanic (like Scotty) with a fancy scan tool check out and road test the vehicle make sure nothing is worn out.
