Default Thoughts on a 2013 F Sport with 43k for 39,000?

It's silver, single owner. Seems like a pretty good deal, but I don't know much about the LS. Thanks guys.

Sounds like a good deal to me if everything checks out.

That's about what I paid for my 2013 F-sport. Mine had 68k miles, CPO with 2 more years warranty, and I think it was $42k.

So yeah, good deal depending on condition.

mine had BSM, mark levinson, all the f-sport stuff, comfort package.

That is a good deal; I'm in Texas and looking for basic LS460's finding 2013 under 50k miles is already around $37-$42k. To find a Fsport in decent condition under $50k miles under $40k is a good price. They are overall pretty reliable with very minor trouble spots so there shouldn't be anything that should stick out other than a maintenance history.

If money is no object good deal. But a 2007 or 08 in prime condition with under 100k is a much better deal for less than 1/2 the price. Pretty much the same car minus better cell phone connect and a few other in my mind insignificant items. There is no bad choice though.

There's a considerable difference between an 07 or 08 and a 13 F Sport. Whole personality of the car is different, style is completely different. Huge interior differences.

This is why its time for a complete do over. People like me consider the same platform and engine close enough to the same car regardless of updates. Bring on the newest technologies, looks and the V6 dual turbos. Gonna be awesome. (Hopefully)

The do over is coming, but that doesn't mean there aren't differences between the refreshes of this generation, especially when you're talking about an F Sport. If we were talking 07-09 vs 10-12 that would be one thing but the 13+ is notably different in multiple ways (3000+ different components) especially an F Sport.

Way more to a car than just an engine and basic platform.

Just picked up a 13 2 months ago, not an F-Sport, 33k miles. 43k. I live in Michigan and had to pick up in Chicago.

Remember, with the F-Sport you have the air suspension.

I've seen a few F-Sports when I was shopping... expect to put some money away for the air suspension repair.

(You cannot get an F-Sport without air).

best of luck
