Default First Lexus - 2015 GS

After researching 100+ cars in my area, finally jumped on this Silver/Black F-Sport RWD.

33k miles, The car was in original paint all around, perfect wheels and new tires, and was L/Certified at 11k mile and all services done including differential oil at 30k. It was a trade-in car to Bimmer dealership.

Has most packages: BSM / HUD / ML / NV / Power Trunk / Park Assist / Rear steering.

I was actually looking for an LS but anything 2015 and in good shape will cost more than $40k. They are nice with power headrest, smooth leather, Alcantera headliner and quad LED headlight, and that V8, but price is too high to justify and too closer to 2018 new LS 500.

Congrats!! Practically identical to mine except I’m in the dark gray exterior. I’m sure you’re going to love it as much as I have the past 4 weeks!

Since you got it at a BMW dealership, does the l/certified carry through? If so, that’s a great setup.

Thanks! It was certified exactly 13 months / 21k miles ago so no maintenance for sure, but still unknown if the warranty is transferrable.

much more sportier than the LS for sure, and never knew about rear steering! congrats and enjoy your ownership.

makes me wonder what drove a person to trade in the GS for a bimmer...the heart is never satisfied!

Thanks! Better speced than a $38k fully loaded camry (cept drive assist) for the price of an SE I4 Camry, pretty good deal.

My wife and I share a 18 X3 M40i with 21" rims, acceleration is beast but not comfortable. Now the GS will fill the gap.

CPO or no CPO , I would have all 4 of your wheels checked for perfect roundness and run out (bent) . Of the 4 Wheels that came on my car, the 2 in the front were OK. The 2 rear wheels both were damaged, bent, out of round. Replace one, second wheel was repaired. Soon to be Powder Coated Porsche Silver.

I check exterior and wheels very careful, and on this car was as new as new. Made my decision making fast. LOL. I would happily pay $1000 more for new tire and rims, and this car came with them free.

Thank you. Sure the car is great. Out of 100 cars in my area, 2 had HUD+LDH, one had Luxury package. Pretty lucky to get one for $25.5k.

Apparently, the Lexus CPO is only transferable one time "from the owner to a private party."

Default L/Certified?


As with most Certified Programs the coverage ends when the Original Certified buyer sells the car.
