Default thinking about a 06 GS 430

First, my wife has an 02 SC430 so I am familiar with the drivetrain. Is there any reason not to get the GS. Even tho I consider myself a car enthusiast, I am growing past the point of needing a fast or modded car that handles like a go kart. I have owned BMW's for the last 5 cars and have been told that the GS is like driving a comfy sofa compared to the BMW. I am ok with that.

It is an 06 with ML, Nav, park assist and shades. It has 29k on the clock. Anything to look for?

Anyway, what if anything should I know about the GS?

thanks

I cant add anything from that department but have you driven the car yet?

and is it certified used? I am going to look at the same car tomorrow and get this or lease a new GS350. I am torn between the V8 and V6 models. I miss having the V8 and I am told by my local guys to get the V8. I may have a little more info to add later in the day tomorrow for you. I was also a long time BMW & Audi driver.
