My GS350 was sticker at $60,276, I negotiated the price down to $55,000 even. its roughly around $1,500 under invoice. I'm pretty confident you can get this price if not better through most dealerships.

This is my GT-R (I used to go as GTRsenal) now I will be GSrsenal, lol

i am not going to say i don't love my car but a gt-r... that is a completely different beast. that thing hasn't gone down in value very much either since they up the price every year. i'm glad you don't regret it. i don't think i could've pulled the trigger on that

I guess it all comes down to your current lifestyle and needs.

A complete sedan with all rounder abilities and practical daily utility ----> 4th Generation Lexus GS

A track beast with harsh ride and little utility outside of the track -----> GTR

Thanks for all the props guys.

The reason I don't regret the change

- Sold the GT-R for the same price I bought it for, Stick22 is right, even after 2 years, held the same price
- The GT-R takes a lot of effort to drive, steering, harsh ride, super wide tires usually tends to steer to the crowning of the road, so its actually sometimes tiring on long trips

The GS is a perfect change, effortless to drive, plenty of power, awesome handling and top notch amenities that the GT-R did not have.

I would of kept both cars if I could.... haha

I can definitely understand your reasons.
I hear the new model year GTR is easier to drive.
I still wouldn't have done it since I love the sport ride and don't get tired of having to put effort into it. I actually enjoy having wide, low profile tires requiring some effort.

The GS is a heckuva car though and can be fun to drive.
Since you are looking for comfort I assume you don't plan to mod your GS?

That GT-R would have been a keeper for me. At least your happy cause at the end of the day we ain't drivin your car you are. I would sure miss the power though from the GT-R.

Default congrats

I was trying to decide between my 2013 GS 350 and a GTR. Hard choice. I have Two young children so I went with the Lexus. I am considering this car my family car and I still want the gTR in the future as my second car "sports car".
