Keep Z or get ISF?

Mannysrt8 · 12-05-2012, 02:31 PM

So lately i have been toying the idea of trading my 2010 Sport with 11K on it for a 2008 ISF with 20k miles...whats your thoughts,i dont necessarily need 2 extra seats as I already have another car..what do you guys thinks...I would have to add about 7K to the deal...really love the V8 power,the looks of the ISF and obviously the reliability.

the Z isn't even in the same league as the ISF, but the ISF is 2 years older.

Frankly i don't miss my Z at all after I upgraded.

Man the ISF is so nice..keep your z and trade your other car in for that

Not a fan of the ISF

Keep the Z

If I wanted a fast Luxo-barge it would not be an ISF those are so poser wanna be cars. The Mercs now have presence.

I love the is-f and I'm asking myself the same question...

Sometimes I just want a reliable luxurious v8 without a big maintenance bill...

Cmike2780 · 12-05-2012, 06:45 PM

Skip the IS-F. It's a cool car, I like it, but it's nothing special.

leighspped · 12-05-2012, 06:48 PM

I hated the isf at skip barber where I really stretched its legs.... It's nothing like a small 2 seater

Keep the Z, ISF is not stupid faster anyway plus it has fake exhaust tips LOL

Japanjay · 12-05-2012, 07:17 PM

Yeah I would pass on a IS-F. CTS-V FTW like the one the other guy just picked up.

ISF is a very nice car, I was toying with the idea of getting one as well but decided to save my money instead

Here's the pros and cons for me.
Pros:
-Good performance
-Comfy ride
-4 doors
-Good reliability
-Low maintainance
-Looks good (note this is subjective)

Cons:
-Overkill for my current life situation. I don't go out much and I'm single and don't have kids... don't need a 4 door sedan or luxury features... I don't need this car
-Insurance will go up
-Most people can't tell the difference between an IS250/350 and the ISF

The 3rd gen IS series is just around the corner so take that into consideration before you make any purchase decisions.

My Luxo-barge would be the new Jeep SRT-8 Alpine.
