Sweet V8 ride!
Have a good weekend Scotty. 😊 Hot here in south Georgia 🥵
Hi Scotty! How can I fix my electric brake cable. The cable won’t release so I can put it back on the brake drum. 2018 Lexus GS350 RWD
Not even competition! Your opinion! At least I won’t be sucking exhaust fumes from the Tesla! Love EVs! Best tech ever!
I worked at a Lexus dealer when these were new, they weren't cheap ,but sales were not bad . the engineers worked to build a car that you never wanted to stop driving..
Any Lexus V8 once it’s gone, people will miss it. Well built engines
I bought mine new in 2008. 220k miles now. Still runs like a scalded ape and surprises lots of the guys who have no idea what it is. Techstream shows no DTCs on mine. That one is not so grreat.
Lobux you’re a legend. Referenced your knowledge and posts on ClubLexus for my 350 and now my 08 F for years now. Thank you sir.
That “WEEEEEE!!!!” After the tires got loose was pure comedy
the Lexus ISF is my realistic dream car
IS F finally getting the recognition it deserves 🔥
Ahh.... the day has finally come... Scary, Scotty finally found a ISF. Game over 😂
He is no longer a cheapskate
Thought maybe it was gonna be the grand marquis. Mom had one back in the day, it purred like a kitten and roared like a lion
The Grand Marquis Brougham and the Crown Vic LX were excellent excellent vehicles. There's more to life than Lexus.
I just bought a 2022 Avalon XLE with next to no mileage, and I couldn't be happier. Smooth, powerful, a dream to drive.
A reliable Lexus with a nice V8 is better than a Tesla any day.
Totally agree.
DAMN STRAIGHT!!!
True..
in every way besides tech but the tech is least important
More gratification for sure.
Dream car. Would take it any day over any new BMW, Benz etc
Those cars are amazing. Took a road trip in one to Los Angeles. It was the most fun car I've ever been in.
Back in the '70s we ALL drove rwd cars with no traction control. Big sloppy land yachts which sailed over bumps and handled like wet sponges in custard.
ISF Owner here, owned 4 and a half years, 40k miles as a daily driver. never left me on the side of the road. its been great ! Edit: Also, fix the check engine light and the traction control will turn back on. whenever the CEL is on the traction control is disabled.
Yeh your right !!
Back in 2008 Toyota used their racing development technology to build these Lexus is f V8 and I wanted one of them so bad back in 2008
400 HP. That's a sleeper with classy styling.
That's great, I have 0.25 HP at best!
it's actually 416 HP
@@applesauce1165 Maybe in US they have less. I noticed that with IS 250, in US spec its 204HP and EU spec is 208HP
@@Fanati_XX Its a difference between BHP and SAE HP And there is even a measurement called PS So, for the ISF it's 423ps which is equal to 420bhp and that is the same as 416 SAE hp.
@@greebuh Thanks for the info 👍
Thank you for doing content on a ISF !!!!
Thought it would be a 427 in ‘69 corvette 😂🤣
A luxury sleeper that lasts & lasts if you buy good/used & therefore is affordable PLUS rear wheel drive V8, can’t see anything wrong with this deal!!
Sweet Lexus ! If it’s from Canada the odometer is in KM not miles. The mileage says 165422 which is 102788 Miles. Not bad at all.
Got my ISF last year.. Never getting rid of her. It's about TIME I see Scotty post a video about the ISF.
Just bought my 2012 ISF and never looking back!
How many miles?
2010 F here with 132k miles. Paid 23.5 with 105k miles 5 years ago, in june. Still running down 392's and SS's with ease 😊
Just bought a 2008 is250 . Its my first lexus and i love it !
Yo same, 2010 F-sport. Love the car. Its not quick, but the feel from the ride is awesome
@@Fanati_XX agreed 💯
Engine has such a nice sound and it shifts gears like silk. I have a 2010.
Just got a 2020 IS350 F Sport and boy let me tell you this thing is surprisingly quick and it handles amazingly I love mine as well
9:20 Somebody always mowing their lawn in Rhode Island like Scotty said 😆
Thanks for the tip, nice car
About time Scotty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have an IS500 that has the same V8 & it's an amazing car.
Love it, picking up a '15 RC F soon
Good info😊
They are great cars and underrated for sure, I have a 08 with 41,000km on it and love it, and they have 416hp not 401. The engines heads were done by Yamaha and has titanium inlet valves, a lot of technology in the 2URGSE. The console trim isn’t faux carbon it’s actually real weaved aluminum. And yes you can shift faster than the computer, sport mode with manual shifts in 0.01 of a second faster than in drive. They have a few issues like leaking valley plate, cracked oem headers and melting dash, but very reliable and powerful.
Great car! Had one and got 27mpg highway. Damaged one rim one time and the factory 19x11 wheel was $1900! Only thing I really didn’t like about it was the gas range was only like 240 miles in a full tank - assuming you drive normal.
I had an IS-F and LOVED it. Incredible car and pure stealth
bought my q5 and loving it!
Sweet car definitely going to get one in the future
Scotty knows how to drive. Famous last words.
I've got an RC-F and i don't regret it. I am going to keep it as long as I can
Same
That’s a very beautiful car. Keep it up.
I’m definitely getting an rcf! What’s the best year to get?
As always, excellent insight _
Nice!! I’m getting an RC F soon :)
LOL Scotty's have a good time driving this one 😂
Toyota V8’s are the best V8’s in the world, no other V8 comes near them, in fact, Toyota engines maintained properly will go forever.
Yep I love my LC500 amazing
Wanted an ISF, but settled on an IS350. Im happy with it, some sways, rr poly bushings, ISF steering ecu, springs, some light 18s with cup 2s & I'll be even happier with it! 😁
Got mine and oh my let me tell you Scotty one hell of a machine
I got the is350 2006 and I love the isf
i absolutely love those cars
I have owned my ultrasonice blue isf for 8 years now. It is by far the longest i have ever owned any car. Main reason o kept it was becasue you really just dont see these anywhere. They are very rare at just over 5000 units in the usa over 6 years of production. I have supercharged mine and its now making 650whp. It has been an awesome car to own!
The mess of hoses and greeblies under the hood is actually hilarious
thx Scotty
08 ultrasonic blue owner here, and man, I love this thing. Its funny when people ask if I swapped the motor when they hear that v8 (Currently have a full exhaust system).
I shocked a c5 owner when I raced him. He thought it was an F sport 😂 I said like up 2ur-gse. He came back next day with his jaw on the floor
In 2017 I purchased a 2011 ISF with the rare black and orange interior. Most fun car I ever owned. Put about 50k miles on it. Sold it in 2020. Absolutely regret it and always will. Thought at the time that I was done having fun with it. Later on I realized I was not 😔
Funny thing is the new GT86 BRZ fender scoop looks really similar to this one. I like these but in the electric blue they had.
I've had my ISF for 3 year snow. Been waiting on you to talk about one....not those ISX50s.
Im going to buy one soon. They sit at about 40k used where i live (Australia)
I bought one last November best car I ever owned I love Lexus
How to make your 2nd gen IS fun again. Theres a code to take the traction ctrl off completely, without it turning back on after a slide. Shut down the car, have the handbrake on, turn on the car, floor the brake pedal twice, then hold it down, pull the handbrake down and do it twice, down --> up, down --> up, then leave it up, release the brake and floor it down twice again, you hear a beep and all the assists are off, only turns back on if you shut down the car and back on. This only works for 2006-2008 prefacelift, there is a video on youtube aswell, search for how to turn off is250/350 traction control off.
2:55 the shadow of a basketballer falls on our hero.😂😂😂
Daaaaaamg Kilmer!! Welcome to the Lexus Family
Got 99 LS400. BEAST. CLASS. LEGEND. PERFECTION
You are the GOAT, Scotty! Never change!!! 😂
That engine compartment 🤯😂
1:00 On a Lexus, the beauty cover is not “stupid”.
No classic drag strip video?
I want one Lexus !
I own a 2003 Lexus gs430 with 280,000 miles and it is running like a new car! I've had it forever and so many people have tried to buy it but I refuse to sell it! Love Lexus and I plan on buying another when this one finally dies.
At first I thought this video might be about a Crown Vic. You get a lot of car for the money with those and unlike a lot of Ford cars now they are pretty reliable. I'm kind of interested in the Lexus LC500 but the prices on those are really up there. I'm not sure that prices on those are going to come down much if at all.
I have a first generation IS300!!!
10:54 😂😂😂 that kid in him came out. Thats how you know thats a good car
Nice car Scotty! O btw We need you back in TEXAS :) I wont give up, may never happen, BUT :) lol Appreciate yaour channel i have learned a lot, and i am an old dog 71+ :)
Thanks for sharing.
I love my 2011 ISF❤
Who is complaining about 400hp being under powered? Thats 2x-4x the horses of any car ive owned. My 200hp mini moves well enough on the road
Ikr, I have 310 in my V6 Caddy,plenty for me. Where's everyone going so fast?
It's the new trend
Compared to V8 powered cars nowadays it’s underpowered, especially for the price these things still go for. You won’t find a clean one under 20 grand unless it’s salvage, clapped out or super high mileage. And even then finding decent ones for the low 20s is a rarity. For the 20-30 even upwards of 40 grand you could spend on an ISF there’s just MANY better options out there depending on what the potential buyers are looking for. The only people buying these cars are people who know what they are and you REALLY gotta want em to pay the crazy used price on one.
@scotty what do you think about a 2014 Lexus IS350
It looks very nice, but I'll keep my '07 Grand Marquis. I had a '95, but it succumbed to New England winter salt. I use it to pull stumps now.
That’s a good car paw paw
Oh, I was expecting you to be in Rover's 1976 SD1
Good one 😂
😂😂
Hey Scotty, what's the most comfortable car you'd recommend for long trips that's relatively affordable? Thanks!
Auto manufacturers need to figure out a way to make the batteries in the TPMS to be rechargeable.
Good idea👍.
Do u know how long the batteries last in them now?
They last at least 10 years. AMHIK. That's not bad at all.
@@lobuxracer to be honest, it’s never affected me because I drive so much I wear cars out before that period of time. But we have to remind ourselves there are plenty of people out there that can only afford 10 year old cars. And those people would never buy new TPMS sensors.
@@lobuxracer
Ok, my car is 7yrs old, I wondered why they were still all working
One of the best lexu's made. Period. I miss my is250.
I still have my 2011 IS250 with 107000 miles. It is still as sweet. 🥳🥳🥳!
@devilishworld4259 I have more miles on mine I win.
@@jamest6850 My ISF has 155k miles. Still nasty quick.
@@jamest6850 , which year model is yours?
This is what the Nissan Maxima should have evolved into. The old Maximas were amazing, then Renault got hold of them...
Paired mine with a land cruiser it’s god teir
I've owned my IS F since new in 08. Perfect daily driver! Only modification I did was put in a true limited slip diff from a 2010 model.
It was fun review.)
As a man, I have had 2x cars for many years its just the way I do it. One with crap fuel consumption and one for beating around.
Just got an RCF. Truly the best reliable sports car!
I love you Scotty
10:51 A Smile Every Car Person Loves to feel
Wasn’t long ago Scotty said not to ever buy a v8 Lexus. Referring to LS430. My 2004 LS has no problems
I think yall take things out of context too much.
He mainly meant it's more maintenance. For example to change the starter motor you have to take the whole intake manifold off. 1000k job. He didn't mean they r bad engines.
They are reliable engines but they are more difficult to work on when needing maintenance due to tight packaging and access.
You gotta really pay attention to what he says in the video, he mentions the pros and cons
Wait till your rear shocks need replacing
Really for any car you should never skimp on tires. As they are the ONLY thing between the car, you and the road! Good tires also help in that ever important thing called "braking". You will stop in a shorter amount of distance with good tires. And that just might be the difference between having a wreck or not. But for any speeds over 120 MPH you do need special tires.
V rated
Excellent cars i own 2010 been and still is a beast
Coolant leaks in the engine valley. Front Innet tires wear prematurely. Faulty abs modules just dealer can program. Body lift supports sucks for diy services. Etc
Possible alternative to my CT4 BW? Was it ever offered with a manual?
I’m a big domestic guy, prefer GM V8s….BUT there’s something about the allure of the Lexus badge/reliability (perceived or otherwise) the fit/finish & the interior/exterior design of the RC-F & LC500 that has me wanting one…& I like that this a great sounding N/A V8 made by Yamaha as well. I may get one….esp an LC500, they’re way cheap now & I expect em to go up (I almost don’t even want to put it out there lol)
Ive seen a few... Its a boss
Bought an 06 is250 AWD with 85,000 KM on it last fall. Since then I’ve replaced the water pump as it failed as well as the alternator. Replaced 2 of the spark plugs but not all of them as I think the other 4 are hard to get to. Replaced all fluids and have done regular frequent oil changes since buying. It’s now somewhere at 120,000km and I’ve loved driving the car it is a tank! I will say it does feel underpowered at higher speeds and the transmission does feel kind of slow granted it is an older car. Overall car is smooth has no problems dealing with the Canadian winter up here and is a sweet car to cruise around in! Anyone have any tips or suggestions for me please feel free to leave a response!
Had a nice used Lexus that had been wrecked on right rear. Had problems with several things, worst was bad ac o ring in dash. Cost a fortune to fix. Sold it, good riddance. If you can’t afford a new one, you can’t afford a used one.
this is my absolute dream vehicle, i will own one of these.
Scotty needs to do a review on the John Deere that the guy was driving across the street...
I have 2 of the best v8s toyota land cruiser and 5.0 lc500
Great car and the Genesis.5.0 is a good match up one guy has 300 thousand miles on it and still going only had alternator problem and gears in the side mirrors? Good match up between the 2 cars
Don’t ever compare a Hyundai to an IS F.
@@Arron29802 He went there though 😂
Price just went up with this Scotty video
