I live in California, found my GS 350 at a Lexus Dealership in Houston Texas . Lots of base models Gs 350 and F sports ALL Wheel drive cars with 18" inch wheels and no ML sound system.

Ahem. Red and flaxen looks really good on this car. It's a well known fact that the red ones are faster.
59k is not high miles for this car. I bought mine at 72k, and I considered a super clean FSport with 105k.
If your pursuit of CPO is limiting your options, drop it.
There's no need for CPO if the service records show regular oil changes.
I could not find a Luxury AWD locally, had to have one shipped to PA from Minnesota.
I was looking the other day just to see where prices are these days, and it seemed Lux editions were very rare in general.

As far as I can tell, he swapped cars with Lexus of Rt 10 as the original pics he showed me of the car had that dealership's name on the license plate frame.

59K is not high mileage unless it is a year or two old, I would not be too picky about mileage since the lux package is extremely rare and these cars are solid and have very few issues, don't need to worry about replacing the timing belt. If Lux package is what you really want you will likely have to do some traveling to different states, have it shipped to you, and likely won't get exactly what you want because this package is so rare(wish they did not price it so high).
Down South around Atlanta, Nashville, or Chattanooga had a okay selection when I was looking.
I found a few, they are out there, but none were lower mileage or are perfect/loaded with all the options, one has 49K but is way over priced.

I live in the Chicagoland area and GS are abundant and many dealers here are very competitive as a result well priced GS models. There are about 7 Lexus dealers alone within 50 mile radius and tons of great 3rd party dealers too. For example here is a clean 2014 GS Luxury model that meets your needs.

Definitely more Lux pkg models available with RWD GS's. I thought the OP was looking for an AWD w/Lux Pkg...which is definitely hard to come by for some reason.

found another 2 with awd, lux and ml sound system.
1 is in NY and 1 is in CT.
both under 20k miles and priced $22k and $23k respectively.
i inquired about the one in CT. 17k miles. white exterior. dunno interior cuz they didn't provide any pics, i asked for interior pics. so far i know it's a lux package based on the Wheels. will have to confirm once they send me interior pics
i got the carfax.
Funny thing is carfax is clean but mentions absolutelly no lexus dealers, this leads me to believe this was a FLEET vehicle. darn it.
and it's a third party dealer, so god help me not get screwed

Mine is AWD and I did not even want AWD, when I was looking it was about 4 in 10 Lux models were AWD. Only Lux model I saw on the road was AWD and I am not in a state that gets bad snow. Still wish I had RWD for the lower stance.

Just because it has the Lux wheels does not always mean it will be a Lux model, I did see 2 in my search that had Lux wheels but were not lux models, owner or dealership must have swapped them out, make sure to check out the interior just to make sure.
I would not worry too much about FLEET(can mean many different things) or 3rd party dealer, just make sure you have a PPI at a Lexus or Toyota dealership, these are solid cars with very few issues. They may need a detail but details are not too much and can make a night and day difference, the one I got definitely needed a detail/polish and a little attention but now it looks great. If they have less then 20K miles there would have been barely any servicing that needed to be done, just basically 1 oil change so I would not be that concerned.

i'm a black on black or white on black type of guy, at worst silver/blue but i like black interiors.
btw, i just checked the interior of the white with lux package.
it is indeed lux package, has the wood steering wheel. it even has heads up display.
i might end up buying this as long as the tyhird party dealer don't get too shady with me

Try this one out. It's at Rahal BMW in Pittsburgh. I would guess they could certify it through Rahal Lexus but I think you'd need to ask. https://www.bobbyrahalbmw.com/used/L...120ae16b0a.htm
Good luck with your search!
