possible new gs owner
I am a former owner of a 2012 audi s4 unfortunately it got in a accident and its a total loss. I went into the lexus dealer looking at is350s and i came across this gorgeous pearl white with brown interior gs in the showroom and i was in love. Body lines and styling were amazing including the aggressive front end. I am a die hard audi fan and i love german cars but boy i was impressed with the new gs. The interior was soo rich and comfy. It was almost mind blowing i felt like a kid at a candy store i didnt know where to begin. Anyways ill stop my story to ask you guys who have owned this car. How is it? I drove it and it is really good. The car really sells itself. I am planning to lease a fully loaded gs350 awd. The dealer claimed a "special" this month for leasing. Its about 3k down but since i am a current owner of an audi i get a rebate of $1500 so that makes my down payment 2500 down and after some fees and bs its a 2700 down and about 600 a month. Is that a fair deal or should i keep looking?

not sure about lease prices because I bought, but the car is amazing and you would not regret your purchased. I have the same color interior that you looked at, called flaxen and it's beautiful.

What is the residual?
What is the lease acquisition fee?
What is the money factor?
What is the term of the lease?
Can you do Multiple Security Deposits instead of a down payment?

I traded in an Audi S5 Cab
I actually traded my '11 S5 Cabriolet for my '13 GS F-Sport because I needed something with more room. The S5 Cab had the same supercharged V6 and similar interior as your S4, so I can totally relate. I've had my GS since March, have 2,800 miles, and I've loved every minute of driving it. I thought I would really miss the S5 Cab, but I haven't. I would highly recommend the GS!

I work from home and travel every other week, so my car is usually sitting in some garage. I am always so happy to jump in it when I get home from business trips. Makes the end of the trip the best!

Great thread guys just got my GS F sport and love it! You really get so much for so little in the grand scheme of things i traded in my 09 ISF for this car and honestly do not miss the ISF even though it was a great car! Have had many BMWs and Mercedes but the Service, Reliability, and value for what you get can not be touched with this 13 GS F sport reminds me when the 98 GS came out it was ground breaking.

Do I miss the ISF yes and no was a little small for my taste and missing some key options i wanted but yes i loved the power and full package it is hard to beat if your a speed junkie. But I already have a sports car I needed a daily driver I do 18-20k a year. The new GS-Fspt is fast enough, great navigation, stereo, seats, good mpg for daily driver, Bluetooth streaming, xm, pandora, vented seats a must have!, the interior is way above par for 50k and the red is amazing. Plan on seeing this car modded first round tints, lowered (when released), concave or deepdish 20s, some custom blacked out chrome parts ( grill, door molding, emblems)

My car:
F Sport Pkg
Blind Spot
Park Assist
Navigation
Trunk Mat, Locks, Cargo Net, rear bumper protector
MSRP $56,538
Purchased for $51,591
As for extra option DRS for $1700 did not see a reason for this handles great for the touring luxury sedan that it is, Mark Lev upgrade also did not hear a $1400 dollar difference my GS has a better stereo then my ISF Mark lev hands down they really took the pioneer in this new GS to the next level imho, HUD display had this in my two previous Z06s never used it more of a look what my car has kind of option, Dynamic CC cool option but alot of money and here in Miami driving you really need to be alert so no need for it. And if you do decide you want a car with all of this in a certain color combo good luck it will be a custom order and you will not get it super discounted like the above deal. I bought my car from JM Lexus what a great experience. They also sell the most Lexus's in the US by twice as many as the second highest dealer in the US so they have some inventory and do over 700+ just new cars a month some months.
