Yeap I have a 14 and something vibrates in mine also. I guess some models have this manufacturing thing. You can mention this to your SA on your first service and they'll tc of you. Nice ride 👍🏻

Congratulations! I have the same car as you minus the awd. I agree the sound system sucks. I had a rattle under my navigation screen that was fixed by the dealer. I am very pleased with car.

So I finally figured out why my sound system sucked. All I had to do was turn off the "Surround Sound" feature. This truly has transformed the sound system in my car and I actually have better surround sound with this feature off! Go figure!

Congrats! I have a 2014 White/Cabernet F-Sport, wish mine had LFA inspired tachometer.

My brother is looking for a used/cpo 2016, but the price is ridiculously high. Do you mind tell me how much you got for it or PM me? We're thinking that buying new might be better.

Yes the LFA inspired tachometer was one of the main selling points for me!! In my opinion it transforms the gauge cluster!

The MSRP on my car was $60,030 and I paid $54,000 for it. I posted a thread about pricing on here and most felt that I should have gotten more than 15% off on a car that is not selling well. I tried multiple times to get better pricing but 10% off MSRP was the best I could get. Hope this helps your brother.

Thank you sir! $54K is before TTL?

It seems like Lexus doesn't care to move the GS, and the ones with red interior are even harder to give discount. I feel like Lexus has low expectation for the GS that they don't bother to over stock it.

Yes that price was before TTL.

There are a lot of dealers that are stuck with a lot of new GS' because they are not selling. I think a lot of people haven't warmed up to the new grille. I know a couple of guys at my gym that don't care for the front fascia. At least in MA, even with the surplus of vehicles the dealers are not give huge discounts. I asked for 15% off and all the dealers laughed at me and said good luck getting that discount anywhere in the northeast!

Only complaint I have is that my passenger seat headrest rattles over bumps and I'm not overly impressed with the sound quality of the radio/SAT. Other than that this is a perfect car.




Congrats! Welcome to the family!
