This 2011 ISF is the red one in Arkansas. It has been listed on Autotrader for $56,000, but this morning I found it on cars.com for $51,998. I called and offered them $50,000, they said they would take $52,500. I pointed out they had it listed for less than that and they went off to check. They came back and said the listing was a mistake (does this happen a lot?) but they would honor it and would offer it to me for $51,500. I literally said "sold" and gave them a deposit.
The car is the color my wife wants, has only 9000 miles on it, and the price is good. Now I have to fly to Arkansas and drive it back to New York, about 1200 miles. But my search is over.

Thanks, I've been interested since June and have yet to see a single ISF on the road, and I live in Manhattan where even the occasional Aventador is spotted.

It's my car, but I let my wife pick the color to keep the peace. She drives a Honda Fit, and my Mazdaspeed went to my son, who's in college

Thank you. I have a ticket to Arkansas for next Monday morning, and should be back in New York on Wednesday. I'll be taking my radar detector.

Cool beans, radar detector when properly used, always helps.

I'm back home with the ISF and happy I drove the 1300 miles. It was easy in such a nice car, satellite radio, comfy seats and amazing ride. During a three day trip through seven states I got to know the car like you would a new horse. A kid in a souped up Honda was shooting video of me as I passed him. And the autumn leaves in Indiana and Ohio were at their peak. Make no mistake, this car attracts attention and never looks like the underdog, no matter what's parked next to it.

When I landed in Arkansas, the car salesman was there with the car, and here was my first view of it.
