2012 IPL, worth it?

As the title says, is it really worth it?
Does anyone own one?

They are selling one locally, said to be the first and only, and listed at 52k.

Color is that wine-ish black with red interior, automatic.

Please note:
I have tried searching but could not find anything

It's personal preference. Honestly at that price I'd go with a used M3 or toss up a bit more for a used GT-R.

52k for an ipl? totally not worth it. There are tons of better choices for that kind of money. You can get a used E92 M3, Lexus ISF and both are in the low 40k range. U can even get a used GTR for around 60k. I paid $25k for my G37S and there's no way in hell i would spend more than 30k for an ipl.

I wouldn't pay for it because knowing there are better options out there for that price. But at the end of the day, if you like it enough, why not?

I agree with everyone about not paying 52k for IpL. Get S4, ISF, M3 or Used GTR

No way IMO unless the price is right I would never get a IPL why spend 50k on car that is basically the same a g37 sport? If your going to spend 50k on a car you can get a audi tt-rs for about 54k and that car will run circles around our car. Also, if your lucky enough you can find a really good deal on a used GT-R. I seen one from a legit dealer go for 52k.

guys you can compare a new price to used prices, to say you payed 25k for used sport so 52k is nuts for a new ipl isnt a reasonable comparison, a new sport is 45k, if you add the aero its 49k, thats what you have to compare to the ipl

Exactly what I was about to say! While I agree that there are other cars I would chose for $50+ before the IPL...its not fair to compare a new car price to a used car price...especially when you don't consider the year, mileage or condition of the used car. Why buy a brand new IPL for $52K when you can buy a 1990 M3 for $5K or a 2010 M3 with 100k miles for $20k (yes I know that's a bit exaggerated but still...)

Furthermore...never, never, NEVER would I buy a used M3, S5, etc. that is out of warranty.
