ISF is bae

This car is the absolute perfect daily. It has plenty enough power to run on just about any car you see on the street while maintaining the upmost lexus cruising and comfort. The styling is timeless and turns heads almost anywhere you go. The V8 is fast and fuel efficient. With the slick 8 speed transmission this vehicle can get almost 26 to 28 mpg highway with almost 475 Wheel hp at your disposal. This may not have the same agility as an M3 but it xxxx sure will not cost you an arm and a leg to own. All the fun you could ever need for a daily vehicle and will never leave you stranded. Get them while you can because with everything going electric these are the last of a dying breed. True Lexus F performance it it's rawest form

The best purchase of my life.

When I walked in the service was amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful, when I test drive the car it was so clean and comfortable. I highly recommend getting a car from this dealership.
