Description
Ultra rare original 2008 '08' Lexus IS-F 5. 0 V8 8 speed auto with paddle shift in stunning condition throughout with only 59, 000 miles from new, Full Service History, ULEZ exemption and as a JDM model qualifies for low road tax. The ISF was the Lexus answer to the BMW M3 / Audi S4 / Mercedes C63 and it's Yamaha & Lexus developed lightweight 5. 0 quad-cam V8 produces 420PS, meaning a 0-60 time of 4. 6 seconds and unrestricted top speed of 168mph. From the factory it has wider and more aggressive fenders and bumpers plus uprated suspension, brakes, wheels, tyres, transmission and interior to ensure it was not just fast but also fun.
Finished in Matador Red Mica, it's a high specification model in stunning, untouched condition throughout that has been beautifully maintained and is a recent Japanese import model. The underneath is in as-new condition and has just been fully treated with Lanoguard to ensure it stays that was for years to come (A video of the underside's condition is available on request as well as a broader video of the car) Japanese weather conditions and driving standard are far higher than UK ones including no salt on the roads in winter and this is reflected in the overall condition of this car.
Standard ISF features includes Full electric and heated ISF branded black leather seats with heating and memory function, Dual zone climate control, Multi-function leather ISF steering wheel with blue stitching, Keyless entry and start, Black headlining, Front fog lights, Bluetooth, USB & AUX connections, 19" ISF alloy wheels that have just been refurbished, Power-folding door mirrors, Comprehensive trip computer, Auto dimming interior and rear view mirrors, Rear view parking camera and Front and rear parking sensors.
Options on this car include Adaptive Cruise Control, Fitted floor mats, Window deflectors and Rear privacy glass. I looked for one without the optional electric sunroof as this is heavy and can break and leak as the car ages.
The MOT required no work or changes, it passed with no advisories and the tester was amazed at it's condition. It's just been serviced and professionally mapped to run on UK fuel. It is super tight and refined to drive with no squeaks or rattles. The interior and exterior trim also looking great and the body, suspension, mechanicals are all in fantastic condition including brakes, tyres etc. It is HPI clear, has warranted low mileage, No warning lights, has the two original remote keys and no work is needed.
