Default Worth the wait

I've been a longtime fan. Finally pulled the trigger when my last car was ready to die:

1. GS350 F-Sport with Premium (vent seats, rear shade, illuminated sills, bumper appliqué, BSM, fold side views, lip spoiler, wheel locks)
2. Obsidian black/black
3. Nav / Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. Not sure on DRS
6. No mods, like her as she is. The dealer added ceramic tint and Maxxguard
7. What other cars were you considering?
Audi A6

What did this replace or add to?
Replaced my 08 Sonata Ltd.
Wife drives '14 Highlander XLE

Default Picked Up a New To Me 2013 Lexus GS350

Hello Club Lexus,

I picked up my second Lexus yesterday. Its a new to me 2013 GS350 in Starfire Pearl. I had gone in to pick up a 2013 Gs350 F sport with almost every option available except cold weather package. I changed my mind last minute just as I was stepping into the finance office. I didnt want to have any regrets so I asked if I could test drive this white GS350 they had just gotten in on the lot. They said sure, so long story short, I bought that one instead and couldn't be happier. Starfire Pearl is such an amazing color. Love how it sparkles in the sun. I do plan to add an F sport spoiler and potentially the front end as I love the aggressive look of the F sport bumper. The first pic is of the GS F sport I had gone in to get, and the second pic is what I ended up buying.

Just replaced my 2010 ES with the 2014 GS350 Premium AWD model and very glad about this purchase and upgrade. Love the little extras, only wished the departure lane warning and sideview mirror warnings were not an option

Hello all!

I've been reading these forums like crazy while waiting for my new GS. And I finally received it yesterday

So here it is (options are a bit different in here) :

1. GS 450h (Executive / Luxury, perforated leather with AC seats, etc)
2. Obsidian Black/Light gray leather
3. Nav, No ML
4. RWD
5. No DRS
6. Nothing planned
7. I've driven many cars, and this fellow replaced my good old Prius Plug-in Hybrid Talking about the difference.

Another interesting fact is that my car was the only GS registered this year in Finland, so probably not going to see many of these around Regarding the price, you guys are really, really lucky in the US, this model with these "basic" options was around 115 000 USD...

Before Lexus I was considering BMW 5-series, but in my opinion, I found it quite boring, so one happy owner here! Here are two of pics from yesterday.

Congrats - are those the OEM 18" wheels? They look like the F sports.

Photo from the dealer




Had mine a little over a month now- love it...except for the constant beeping for no reason I can discern.
This car has more chimes than the Notre Dame Cathedral.

1. 2013 Luxury
2. Riveria Red
3. Nav/Mark Levinson
4. AWD
5. no
6. I replaced the trunk/puddle/door lights with LEDs
7. Replaced a Porsche 911. I decided to go for the compromise of performance and luxury, as opposed to performance and more performance . I also own an ES300 which has been utterly reliable.


I wanted the specific color combo red/gray and the luxury package...did a nationwide search on cars.com and had it shipped after a thorough third party inspection. Very happy with the car.

Default 450 h 2013

New to the post. Have had my 2013 GS450H for almost 3 years now. Love it. My other car is a 2009 Camry Hybrid which I still have. It is my work horse car. I also have a 2010 Acura MDX which serves as a hauler and jack of all trades vehicle. The GS is my weekend outing car. Owning the Camry prepared me for Hybrid technology. I still think Hybrid cars are misunderstood and underestimated. It's almost impossible to get anything below 29 MPG, even with spirited driving. The GS is an amazing tech tour deforce. I would buy another one as they become updated, even over a Tesla.

Default 2013 GS350 Luxury Pkg. Nebula Gray Pearl

Just bought my mother a 2013 GS350 Luxury Pkg and ML sound system. 42,000 miles. $31,600.

The car is awesome. Lexus has really stepped up their level of standard. Got a couple of gripes about the car though. I got only 1 key with the car. The driver seat cushion is stained slightly darkish, and its been flattened somewhat by the PO.

Here's some pics:







Otherwise, the car is great. Can't wait to get myself one. RC F?
