Default What is this?

I'm looking at a 2015 GS 350 and trying to figure out what it is. I think it's the base model, but Autocheck says it's a Crafted line based on the VIN. Except it's black with flax, and I thought the Crafted Line only came in white with the black/red seats. The dealer (not a Lexus dealer) insists a Crafted Line based on their research. It's got factory 19" wheels, side sun shades, rear climate control, but I can't see where those were offered as separate options. It's like it has elements of the Premium package, but not all of of the those elements, like Sport + and passenger seat memory.

How do I tell what this is or get the original factory sticker?

Do you have any pictures? What color is the window trim on the car? If you have the VIN signup here on this site and add the car and it will let you view info about it.

It should say exactly what it is. I don't know much about the crafted line, however if it has rear climate controls and side shades its definately not a base gs.

Thanks, I did put in the VIN on the lexus site, I can see service history, but I can't figure out where to see the actual info. I attached two photos. I see now that it does appear to have passenger memory.

This looks like a luxury package car to me. I could be wrong, but I thought the 18 way power seats and shimamoku trim on the doors was only available on the luxuray package.

It's Liner Espresso wood doors & steering wheel. Flaxen Napa Leather with 18 way Power front seats ( its softer). The rear arm rest should have radio/climate and shade controls. same exact interior as mine.

That is a Luxury by the pictures, I have one.
To the best of my knowledge, Crafted Line only came in White exterior with Black accents.

Do you have a picture of 19" wheels?

According to the options listed, (rear climate control, Sport+, wooden steering wheel, 18way passenger seat with memory) it is definitely Luxury Package except Luxury package comes with 18" wheels, not 19.

Thanks for your input everyone. The more I look into this, I think you're all correct on it being the lux package, Here are the wheels.

The Luxury package switched the wheels from 18" wheels to silver 19" F-sport wheels (I think for the 2015MY).

yes the 15' Lux Packs went to silver FSport wheels and I love them lol. If you buy the car I'd gladly trade you for my standard GS F Sport 19s

How can you get the window sticker from a Lexus if you don't have one? Interested in getting mines. Bought my GS 350 used.
