I've been lurking in this forum ever since the 4th Gen GS came out. I tried to get a 2013 back in July, but there just weren't any white w/flaxin F-Sports to be had. My wife and I have been very patient and it has finally paid off. Thank you Lexus for your December to Remember sale and also to the Southern California dealers who provide a really great discount.

Definitely worth the wait! Now I need to sell my 2011 IS250 w/12k miles on it. Someone will be happy!

Details:

• 2014 GS350 F-Sport
• Ultra White with Flaxin Interior
• Nav and ML
• Blind Spot, Park Assist, Power Folding Mirrors, Illuminated Door Sills
• Accessory Pkg - trunk mat, cargo net, wheel locks
• MSRP $59,292
• Sales Price: $54,000 (before $1250 lease cash)
• Lease: 27 months, 10k miles per year, $569/month (includes 7.5% sales tax), $0 down, $0 at delivery

I did not realize that the Ultra White was metallic. It is absolutely beautiful! Looks like StarFire Pearl, but whiter.

that is very nice.

so is ultra white a non pearl white metallic?

Dustin2011

That is an excellent way to describe it.

I WANT THAT INTERIOR COLOR!!! awesome pick up but 10k a year... seesh, now i see why I don't lease. I do like 10k in 2-3 months

Congrats!

Just know that every time those mirrors fold in all us 2013 will be shaking our fists at you lol

Dustin2011

10k a year is plenty for me. I am currently selling our 2011 IS250..... it has 12,225 miles on it.

This is mainly the wife's car (I drive a 2014 Audi SQ5 - I need something to haul my mountain bikes). The wife works from home, so this really is used for weekends (when bikes are not involved) and the occasional errands.

now that is nice. i like white, but never thought the pearl white matched the gs f-sport(more of a luxurious color IMO)..kind of why you don't see any pearl white porsches.

off topic but nice car. the sq5 is my favorite SUV. I think its easily the nicest looking SUV on the market. Audi designers did one hell of a job. The lights are the nicest part of the car imo

Dustin2011

Thanks! I really love the SQ5. It is soo much fun to drive. Super fast too! Here is a pic.




OK, back on topic.

So how does that 8 speed transmission feel? Did you get a chance to drive the 2013 to see the diff?

Dustin2011

I did drive the 2013 about 5 months ago. Funny thing is I didn't even test drive the 2014 before making the purchase....

I didn't notice much of a difference, but that could be contributed to the fact that it was 5 months between driving the two and the fact that my Audi (the vehicle I drive every day) has an 8 speed tranny too.

The car drives smooth and is definitely quicker then my 2011 IS250 (though it feels heavier). I would say the GS drives more on the luxury side of the luxury/sport sedan. I'm not disappointed in it all, just an observation of my opinion.

I'm looking forward to driving it back to Phoenix (from Los Angeles) for Thanksgiving, so I should have a better feel for how it drives, handles, and travels.
