Default Bought a '13 Loaded

I found a 2013 GS350 AWD 2 weeks ago on Autotrader & today flew to West Palm Beach to purchase it. It has it all except the NightVision. It does have the Luxury Pkg, ML, BSM, Park Assist, HUD, PCS, & LKA. The sticker on it when new was $64,632.00, plus the dealer added RES. Today I paid $43k for it with 20k miles plus the $700 admin fee & $790 to ship to St. Louis. Liquid Platinum w/ Black int. The Sales manager had leased it prior to me. Can't wait to get it!

Sounds like a great package. Too bad our red headed stepchild model doesn't qualify for RES+ but not a big deal really.

Only F-Sports can be optioned with DRS.

Great buy. I have a 2013 fully loaded with night vision which is no longer made and love it. Bought it new with special wheels for $66,000. Price you paid is what the car is worth in the Blue Book. Wish you well.

Does not have LKS because I have Night Vision. Cannot have both. I have everything else.

Congrats! I would rather have LKA. I have the Night View option and I only used it 2 - 3 times maybe. So, you're lucky to have the LKA, enjoy the car!

Added the 19" F Sport Wheels instead of the standard 18" Luxury Pkg wheels.

Wow really nice deal. I need to find a good deal like yours if I don't keep mine when the lease is up.

I hate paying the initial cost of depreciation for a brand new car unless it is a homerun like a outrageously GRILLed 15 SE Camry! Y'all hear me?!
I have never leased a car so I don't know the in's & out's, but this car was originally leased & turned in/bought out early. Not sure since if that is what drove the cost down? I caught it the day it was listed & put money down on it a week later, then flew to see it a week after that.

AWD can not be optioned with DRS... yeah the sticker price was close to 65K for my ( traded ) completely fully loaded 2013 OB GS F Sport in 2012. hardly used anything other than the HUD and BSM... seems as though he got a hell of a deal.
