Default New here. Want a GS350. please help.

I found this car locally.

This is the only gs350 i could find under 25k.
since im new to this model already test drove one with awd, i fell in love with its balance of luxury and performance. was wondering if you guys can take a look and see if its worth buying.
what things i should look out for in that mileage and year model.

Current vehicle is a 2009 Mazdaspeed 3 GT with 39k (considering trading in).

any opinion would be greatly appriciated.

thank you!

That's a pretty good price, but I agree with JH48, you can do a little better. Mine was bought two months ago, loaded with every option from private seller for under $20k. Not AWD

quick question. does rear reverse camera come standard?

i actually want a rwd because i want to lower it and run staggered.
but from what ive seen i can only find anything under 25k out of state.

if that car is worth buying i might as well just get it while trading my car in.

I don't think so. I believe it comes with the NAV option which most GS come with. Good luck with your search!

Check ebay. There is a guy out of Sacramento that sells parts off of the GS. I think its Lexusconnect or something like that.

Nice find. Might be able to buy a few things from that guy. In the future.

After driving it for a few days, I can do without. But I'll need coilovers for sure which comes with the vibrations.
