Default My New Purchase

When the 2013 Lexus GS350 FSport came out I was working for Lexus Sales. My old dealership received 2 RWD models one in black and one in white. The black one was sold by me to a local customer that seemed to trade out of cars a good bit. He didn't live far from me so occasionally I would see the car around town.

Back then I was fortunate enough to represent the dealership at the GS launch event in NY. I got to drive many GS models around the track and ended it all in the driver seat of a LFA. After my lap was done the pro driver took me for a lap with him driving. What a day to say the least.

Over the next year and a half I continued to follow the F models even after joining another manufacture. The day I went for my first interview I saw a black 2013 GS FSport sitting on the lot in the used car department. I immediately thought about my past experiences. Well after getting the job and settling in a few weeks later the car was still on the lot for sale. I decided to see what I could take it home for. As you can see it was a no brainer.

So in the end I purchased the same car I sold new and had so much fun driving, It felt like it was meant to be and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Most of you know my past cars and this one will receive upgrades soon. After taking a couple years off it's time to get back into the show scene.

Grats on your F-Sport car. It is hard to find used F-sport car in my area.

Lindsay Lexus, I almost got my car there, almost.. Anyhow, I love the black, if I had the choice between my silver and black, I think I could've gone with black and been happy with the color choice as well, congrats!
