Picked up a 2013 GS350 Luxury w/ Heads Up & Mark Lev w/ 24K miles last weekend and I am absolutely in love! I was previously driving a 2012 Touareg TDI Executive (sold Volkswagens for a couple years)... Now I work for Lexus of Dayton and "you gotta drive what you sell!"
Congrats, she looks great. Previous owner must have kept her garaged at night. Wonder why it has the f sport trunk spoiler instead of lux package one? Anyway a lot different ride than yourVW I'm guessing.
Thought the 18 inch tires would fill the wheel well more than it appears in pics. My AWD looks similar. I guess the difference between the AWD and RWD regarding filling of wheel well is not all that significant.
Congratulations! I was away from Lexus for even longer with a series of Infinitis and Audis. It's good to be back and the GS is an outstanding car. The light gray interior with the Espresso wood is my favorite combo (along with Cabernet/aluminum)!
A good friend of mine bought a VW Touareg because he felt like he was driving a Porsche Cayenne (and couldn't afford one). Well, the two SUV's are related but at the same time, are both maintenance nightmares.
He eventually got rid of the Touareg for an Audi Q5 (not much of an improvement, if you asked me).
Audi is VW....both crap with the same unreliable engines.

While I will undoubtedly agree that Lexus' are by far the most reliable vehicles to be had. I will also say that I had "0" problems with my 2012 Touareg and the 2 high mileage passats that preceded it. The Touareg was also a blast to drive and being a diesel with over 400/lb ft of torque I was still getting 32+mpg!
The reason I like the GS so much is because it really "feels" like a german car.
It appears to be RWD and 18's.
Interesting ....what is the story with the F sport spoiler on the luxury ? Special install ?
Spoiler was on there when I picked it up. Looking at the technician notes from Lexus service history it appears it was added at delivery at the customer's request.
I personally prefer the look of the f-sport spoiler, so I'm glad it's on there
Back in a Lexus after over 5 years!
Best looking color 
BTW, what lens is this? The blur characteristic looks interesting.
