Default Is it worth it?
Great forum to be on!
My dealership has a used
Lexus GS-F Lexus GS-F
sport package for $50k, 2016, ultra sonic blue mica 2.0 with only 3k miles. Do you think it would be worth purchasing or just wait a little bit and buy a brand new 2017? Any advice would be helpful. TIA

Sounds like this was the Demo since it has just 3k on it... I would steer away from any demo, as everyone who test drove that car more than likely red lined it countless times...

Just throw them a crazy number in low 40's and u never know you might get it, you'll be under warranty for next 3.5 years with 47k miles. I saw a '15 with 3900 miles Fsports sold for 32k. It was a repossessed vehicle in excellent condition.

I doubt that it was red lined, hard to find a place in Hawaii island to do it, most of the roads have 35 mph speed limit.

Did you say 2016 Fsport with 2.0L? Did I read wrong?

Used is used. No matter how you spin it. What matters is, is the money you're saving more important than having to worry about how the car was driven previously?

To most, it's all about the price and what you're getting for that price.

Pop it in M, keep it in M1, and you should be right around 35mph at redline. Not recommended for your own car, but who knows what kinda clown test drove the demo car?

USB 2.0 is the color. The 2.0 denotes the second version of the Lexus Ultra Sonic Blue color.

No problem, and you're right, there's a lot to keep up with!

Should be noted, of course, that the GS is now available with the 2.0 turbo 4 in the GS200t.
