welcome to the club! what car do you have thats heavily modded?
Joining the F club - Pictures Finally
13
Picked up a used 2008 USB IS-F with 24k miles on it this past Friday. Had originally been looking at a new IS350 to begin with however found the IS-F for just under the price of the new IS350 and couldn't pass it up.
Been loving the car ever since. Picked it up to be my daily as I am to afraid to take other car, fully modified in every way and just never felt safe leaving it anywhere. The car has exceeded my expectations in every way so far. Hopefully I will stay away from the mod bug that bit with the other car.
Finally allowed to add pictures

The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem! LOL
Those are some nice high end wheel brands you have owned. What state are you in?In PA currently.The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem! LOL
Problem isn't that I have owned those its that I still own all of them lol with another set on the way. Might try the Scaras on the F but not sure they will look right though.
If they are the Junction Produce wheels I'm thinking of, they might look a little "old school". Always worth throwin' one on there though to see what it looks like. In my previous life (job) I sold high end wheels. Love the Volk products. I had a set of 13x8 TE37's on an 86' CRX I autocrossed years ago. Very light and strong! If you need any Hawk pads for your "F" I've got you covered! Just let me know..
I had a very similar experience.
I am new to the F. In fact, I have only seen 1 in person. On Monday (Labor Day) I was out kicking tires on convertibles. After an uninspiring test drive of an IS 250 Convertible, my wife noticed "that cool car" siting in front of the showroom. It was a 2010 IS F. That test drive was inspiring. I have never noticed another one in NC. The dealer stated that there were only 3 2010s in NC and that they have only had 3 at their dealership (Johnson Lexus) since 2008.
In the end, I decided to save a few bucks by going with a used 2009 Silver IS F from the same place you bought yours- Bobby Rahal Lexus. I have never bought a car sight unseen before, but the Dealer assures me that it is like new and I have had nothing but good experiences with my 2007 ES 350 and my local Lexus Dealer so I feel pretty good about it. I am awaiting transport from PA to NC where I live. I can't wait to get it!

Wow that is crazy. Congrats on your purchase.I had a very similar experience.

I actually saw that car there the day I picked it up with dealer plates on it. Some guy drove up in it that way that had a Rahal Lexus shirt on. So either they had just acquired it or he had just finished taking it out for a drive to finish the CPO inspection. From just quickly looking it over on the outside when I saw it I can tell you it looked completely in mint condition.
I had no issues in dealing with Rahal and my parents purchased there 2008 GS350 from there as well and have had nothing but a great experience. The wheels on my mine have some curbing on them which they were happy to agree to have refinished at no extra charge when I get back to PA in November. Post up some pictures when you get it.
However what is funny is I went and checked their website and both mine and your newly purchased F are still on the site.
Also quickly is it the typical IS-F package with navi, ML sound system, sunroof? I believe I remember it had all that but had no idea the mileage was so low. Almost feel like I got a bad deal though now even though compared to other 08s it was similar or better at least for CPOs listed on Autotrader. Just appears you got one hell of a steal.
