Default Looking for an upgrade.

Hi guys !
So currently i have a GS 350 F 15' . i had a borla axleback, and carbon steering wheel as mods only. I was test driving the ES 350 2019 hybrid, drives super smooth and a lot of tech. What do you guys think ? I also looked into GS F as well. Or even deeper into moding to make daily a much better experience. I even tried to look into LS 460L 2016. they all run about 40-50k ish to swap to.

Thanks in advanced. Sorry in advanced, english is not my first language.

GS-F all day from those choices.

The ES does not compare in terms of driving experience. It's mind numbing.

GSF would be my first choice but I may also be biased

Personally, I do not like to buy modified cars unless there was a way to verify how the work was performed by the previous owner or if it was a well know CL member vehicle. Overall, the CarFax seems to have checked out during the initial stage of ownership that showed regular oil changes and maintenance being performed on the car. The only thing that I question is when looking at the 'Owner 2' section of the report, it was registered in California, Arizona, and then being offered in Tennessee and South Carolina. There is no service history of the car between 30k miles and 44k miles. I would probably pass on this car and wait for a stock one to show up with full detailed service history.

i can't believe these are still going for 50k. the used car market is crazy, Vroom offered me 25k for my 2014 F sport recently after I bought just 4 years ago for 33k...

when i pulled a vroom offer last year before COVID it was ~19k...CRAZY TIMES!

It could have also gone to a dealership or service shop that doesn't report to CarFax. Quite a few Lexus service departments/dealership group near me boycott CarFax and only report tot AutoCheck....
