The basics!
1. 2014 GS F-Sport
2. Color exterior/interior Liquid Platinum/Black
3. Nav / No ML
4. RWD
5. No DRS
6. Planned mods? None.
7. What other cars were you considering? What did this replace or add to? I knew I wanted another GS, I've had 3..a 99 GS400, 01 gs430, and an 08 GS 460. I considered it another 3GS, but once I had the interior experience with the 4GS it had me sold. The GS350 is replacing a 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon, an extremely rare car .. and it was my daily driver for 3 1/2 years.
I'm really enjoying this 2014 GS350, the refinement, the smooth driving quality, overall build features and the styling both exterior and interior are just fantastic. I do like the staggered 19-inch wheels n dark colors vs the Platinum. As for mods only thing I would do is go up the one size on the tires, as many have said on the Forum, I will most likely go with Continental DWS for my all season tires.
I replaced a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic which I drove for 6 years. It was a great car but the seats, poor gas mileage and transmission, and eye-watering repair bills made me want to try a Lexus. My GS has been fantastic as a commuter! Loving the engine/transmission, seats/comfort, interior, and ride. Picture is from a road trip to Yosemite (which it handled like a champ ).

Congrats and welcome! How many miles were on your MB before you got rid of it? I heard the 4Matics were the problematic ones.
Thanks! I only had about 55k miles on it when I got rid of it (mostly sat in traffic in LA). While it never left me stranded I had some expensive issues with the steering pump and transmission. Still like the C300 a lot, but I'm even happier in the GS even if everyone thinks I'm 60 years old!
1. 2014 GS F-Sport RWD
2. Color exterior/interior Liquid Platinum/Black
3. Nav / No ML - Very impressed with the Premium Lexus system though
6. No planned mods...at the moment.
7. Was a loyal Infiniti owner - J30, I35, M45, but it seems they have slipped a little in the area of QC.
Very different power delivery than the M45, but am really impressed with this car.
Was considering MB E350, Audi A6, Caddy CTS and BMW 535. I think I made the right choice, and the car only has 24k miles on it. Low mileage lease.
Picked this up last Tues put some Vossen VF6 on it and installed RSR Superdown springs the fronts kicked my butt. Has the blood red interior I'm in love with it.
1. F-Sport
2. Riviera Red/Black
3. Navigation with ML
4. RWD
5. DRS
6. Plan on buying a lip and lowering it an inch.
7. I looked at a 2012 Ls460 and Tesla Model S. The Ls was nice, but it felt like too much car for me. The tesla was really nice but i could not commit to the price. After the house is remodeled maybe ill pick one up. This is a great car though so im happy regardless. I just wish i bought a 2015.

I've joined the forum to become a more educated consumer while shopping for a used GS350 AWD F-sport.
I looked at a Silver 2013 with 30,600 miles last week that had a lot of front end pain chip damage and a broken plastic chrome grill molding. It also has a K&N Cold Air Intake installed.
Carfax shows that it was in an accident. But the car did drive very nice with an exceptional smooth ride in Sport+ mode. Looking at the tires after the test drive I noticed that it was wearing Ultra High Performance All-Season, Continental ExtremeContact™ DWS06, Size 245/45ZR19. I found it a bit surprising that the OEM tires had been replaced at less than 30k miles. The fact that the tires are not the standard size made me wonder how much they contributed to the exceptionally smooth ride.
What do y'all think about that?
PS.
I'm currently driving a 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Ltd Wagon (aka Sport Tourer in the UK) with 131k miles.
I sure wish Lexus made a GS350 F-sport wagon.
PPS.
On September 1, 2018 I took delivery of my preowned 2015 L/Certified Lexus GS350 F Sport.
How long will it be till I stop driving it like an old man?
It took two weeks before I stood on the gas. But most of the time I still drive it like the old man I am.
My FJR takes care of my need for speed most of the time.

Hey guys, just picked up this 2015 GS350 F Sport as a new Daily Driver. Had an IS250 for awhile, but it was too small to be useful. Hope to learn all about this new car and do some basic mods (mostly for looks) since the car is pretty heavy and slow. Looking forward to learning what's what on this car.
1. GS (F-sport)
2. Color Atomic Silver/ Cabernet
3. Nav / Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer or no DRS (Not sure, probably not)
6. Planned mods? Rims, Skipper lip, Intake maybe?
