Did you ever get a GS man? I searched from October until 3 weeks ago when I finally snagged a perfect low-mile CPO actually at my local dealer! My wife is glad to have me "back" after having been a little obsessive in my late night Cars.com and Lexus dealer sites. Cars.com was my tip-off for the car I ended up with. The post was brand new, showing a manufacturer pic of the base model but I knew it might be what I had been searching for when I saw "Cabernet" listed as the interior color. Took me a couple days to get the dealer to confirm what color the car was and which options it had. Perserverence pays off!!

I bought this car with 46K for $22K. 1 owner with black on Flaxen and the car is in phenomenal shape. Lexus of Willowbrook gave it a clean bill of health and said it needed nothing so it was an easy decision.

Who would have thunk that a RWD car wouldn’t sell in the dead of winter in the Chicagoland area?

@Lend0 That's a steal right there! '14 GS with low miles and lux pkg - best interior color IMHO! Enjoy

Congrats, you got a great deal on a rare Luxury with that mileage. That is just about exactly what I wanted RWD/black/flaxen Luxury but I still like my AWD/black/black Luxury.

I saw similar GS's going for $24-28K less then a year ago, still see some similar ones priced in that range when I take a look.

The most effective way for me was to keep the search pretty basic with just the year, mileage, AWD, and the colors I liked, and to quickly scan the thumbnail images on the search results page. Whenever I saw one with silver F-Sport wheels together with fog lights, I'd click on the listing and look through the photos. I did have some luck with "linear espresso" as a search term, although it still brought up a lot of false positives from dealers incorrectly describing the base model trim as linear espresso.

One day I got lucky and this one popped up in Nashville, where I just so happened to be going for a bachelor party that same weekend. It must have been a sign! I bought it with 32K miles for $23,800. I've had it for about a month now, and I love it!
