Absolutely beautiful car. Congratulations!!

Qq. I have a 2013 luxury package and the adaptive headlights turn left and right with the steering. Is that also true for the triple LEDs?

So I am going to be a minority here but (after having quad LED headlights for 2 years) I can say that I don't like LED headlights. It wont affect you, but where I live it snows. Guess what LEDs don't do? Emit heat. I have had my headlights build up snow to an unusuable state more than a few times. Case in point from my dashcam (skip to 1:20): https://1drv.ms/v/s!AnxiuFOeO5OQmywF78pOTt5Ca31J

even the 18 way power front seat is new, much better, my word. My wife is happy that her seat can be programmed too lol cute. SportS+ AVS, heated wood and leather steering wheel, 3 zone auto climate, rear arm rest audio and hvac. rear door shades are funny, might come in handy. ML audio with clari-fi is new and much appreciated and its embossed stitched semi aniline leather interior with Gray Sapele wood trim. A lot of this is new for me lol didn't know what I was missing when having my other GS. I'm missing the rear spoiler... hahaha
I gotta say the triple beam headlamps at night I think are aiming to low and have a little shake on the edges when going over serious bumps only.
Other than that I feel the car drives smoother and quieter, don't know if lexus did some updating with this car since my last one? the gear ratios are tighter maybe or a bit more responsive, hmm oh and why does the car get an extra mpg now than before? just wondering

Thanks again means alot
The 2016+ GS350 uses the 2GR-FKS instead of the 2GR-FSE engine. The FKS has the ability to go into an Atkinson Cycle under low load conditions, which offers a slight benefit in fuel mileage.

This is the kind of CPO car that would make me trade in my 2014 gs in a couple of years. Question is, how much am I going to miss the Sport s+ mode...

The OP's new purchase is a luxury package model, so it has Sport S+. Just be sure to get an F Sport or Luxury to keep AVS.

I knew the engine sounded different JDR76, I'm in my garage with the hood open totally convinced its not the same sound. thanks for that.
I don't know if the headlamps turn left or right, ill check tonight and yes it has sport+ AVS and those are 19's
I also found out that these headlights don't come full blast I can adjust them to 100% so ill do that, I heard the same for bmw's, European versions are at 100% not in the U.S.
