Does anyone here work at Northtown Lexus? Does anyone know anyone that owns one or has access to one? **Willing to pay current owners for a test drive.** ---

I know someone who pretended to be somewhat of a serious buyer for a few weeks and got 2 test drives in one from Northtown… Im assuming if you talk to them composed and genuine enough, they will give you a test drive no problem. As for finding an owner… there are only like 3 in the area so good luck. ---

AFAIK, they don’t have one. A GM there may or may not be using one as a demo. I see one outside of NT Toyota all the time w/ dealer plates. With the market being absolutely shit with these, not to mention the rates i can give myself, and taking into account the CPO program…I’d be stupid not to at least consider one. Not to mention, work will pay for half of the payment. 😉 ---

Plus, the irony of the situation is…I don’t want to deal with salesperson/dealer bullshit when trying to drive one. I’d be more than willing to give a deposit to drive one, however I’m not going to buy it from them and I’ve already fought NT once for a deposit. ---

The IS-F is def a fantastic car, but do your self favor, and try and drive a new M3, at least from what I’ve heard the IS-F follows suite with a typical lexus and is a bit soft. Im not quite sure how they stack up price wise or if you personally can get a good deal on the lex but It wouldnt be a bad Idea to compare the two. ---

> [@Beck](#): > > I’ve already fought NT once for a deposit. Not the first time I have heard this in regards to NT too… Ah well, seems like a great buy from your perspective then, it would great to see another one out on the streets in Buffalo. I saw 2 IS-F’s all summer and one wasn’t even in this state… But I guess that is what makes it ballin as shiz… ---

Im not quite sure how they stack up price wise or if you personally can get a good deal on the lex but It wouldnt be a bad Idea to compare the two. I would rock a new M3 any day over a Lexus IS-F. However. IS-F’s are easily accessible to me for around $45,000 with low ass rates if I finance myself through TFS and I can certify it next to nothing. New gen M3’s are still well over $60k with 5 times as much mileage…and I can’t give myself a banging rate. If i wasn’t taking into consideration a morgtage i’d be down. ---
