Just picked up a 2015 GS350 F Sport Crafted Line
Hello,
Just picked up a 2015 GS350 RWD F Sport Crafted Line in Orlando this weekend. I'm a previous IS300 and LS400 owner. Really looking forward to this GS. Car has 29600 miles on it. I'm starting a build thread now and I've already made contact with Josh from Meraki Autoworks for some things to be shipped out this week to me.

Hello from overseas,
I am currently deployed overseas, and plan on picking up a 2014 or 2015 GS 350 upon returning back to the states. This community has been extremely helpful in helping me make up my mind. I was a previous Nissan Maxima fan, but do not like their new line. I live in Massachusetts so AWD is a must. I am currently looking at the regular GS 350s, as the F-Sport are really hard to find at a decent price, but am not ruling one out. I would take any advice the members have as to things I should look for on used 350s. Thank you and I look forward to hear what your thoughts are.

If you can spring for a F-Sport I would get it ; the rear wheel steering and drivers sear are worth the price of admission alone. I have a 2006 Honda accord 4 door , a much smaller car, and parking the Lexus is easier, even though its MUCH bigger. I would see if yo can find a deal from a California car, socal has plenty of lexus dealers, and i would not be surprised if they have a lot of off-lease 2015s

A New Experience
Hello Everyone!
I recently found this forum while doing research on the different packages available for the GS350's.
1. GS Luxury
2. Obsidian Black/ Black
3. Nav w/ Mark Levinson
4. AWD
5. Unsure about the Dynamic Rear Steer. Doubt it though.
6. No mods planned at this time. I just want to enjoy her, and learn more about what's available from a mod perspective.
7.Considered 2011-2013 BMW 5 Series & Mercedes-Benz E350
The bow was my wife's idea

hey all,
been reading the forum for a few months now while researching my next car to buy. Just picked my first Lexus last weekend::
1. 15 GS F Sport
2. Atomic silver (I think lol)
3. ML sound w nav
4. Rwd
5. ?
6. I want to lower it and throw some Vossen CVT that I’ve seen on here. Maybe a CAI. We’ll see what else
Got it at a GMC dealership so the salesman didn’t really know much about how to use the many of the features... thanks to the forum I knew more than he did lol...

2015 Lexus GS 350
Luxury
RWD
Navigation
Platinum Silver?
Gray interior
Mark Levinson
I've pined over this car for a year. Passed and missed opportunities on several models with options that would have sufficed and eventually found this one that checked off everything I wanted. I'm really enjoying the ride. Very smooth, handles incredibly well(used to a 2000 accord I drove for 18 yrs) and the sound system is tremendous, IMO. A lot of separation in the instruments. I've alway wanted a nice car stereo and I finally have one.

Hello from Europe
Found this forum when researching info on GS, very helpful people here so thanks to all. Finally decided to go for it, my first Lexus, MY 2013:
1. GS350 Luxury (in my country, at a time, the top was actually called "Premium" which I understood is not all that top in US)
2. Meteor Blue Mica/Light Grey (I guess - in pics, Flaxen seems darker although this is not grey at all, rather beige - it is simply beautiful combo with MBM)
3. Nav / Mark Levinson
4. AWD
5. no DRS
6. No planned mods besides second set of wheels and perhaps rear lip from F-sport
7. Replaced 2009 TSX 2.4 MT, didn't really consider anything else

Newbie checking in. Coming from a 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan with 246,000 miles that I had from new. Did 90% of the maintenance myself so it didn't cost me much to keep it running, until I dropped $1,200 in parts to replace the steering rack and pump 2 months ago, and now the TPS and APPS needs replacing...I'm done throwing cash at this thing.
Happy Birthday to me! Purchased a 2015 GS 350 this past Saturday, in Obsidian/Flaxen, with 25,000 miles on the odometer. I think it's base model, but even standard features are more than enough to keep me happy!
But instead of enjoying the ride, I found myself giving the GS an amateur detail with some Meguiar's products I have hanging around. Dropped some cleaner/wax on the paint and she looks good! It's forecast to rain all week in "sunny" South Florida, so I will likely leave the GS in the garage and beat on my 2002 Sequioa for a little longer.
With 320,000 miles on the Sequioa, I found myself believing in the relaiability and durability of Toyota. I hope the GS treats me as good as the Sequioa!
Cheers!

Like most here I see, I picked up an off-lease 2015 F-Sport
1. GS350 F-sport
2. Atomic Silver/Black (really wanted the Flaxen, but it was hard finding that combo)
3. Nav / No ML
4. AWD
5. How do I find that out if I have Dynamic Rear Steer or no DRS?
6. Planned mods? Well, that's why I'm here. Lets see what others have done.
7. Considered a new Mazda 6 Signature. Replaced a 2010 STi hatchback (was time to grow up)
