Question Any Buyers Remorse

Hi everyone! i've been lurking here for a while and going through all your guy's posts and comments. I'm interested in getting a used 2016/2017 GS-F and have found a few for around 50k. Before spending that kind of cash just looking to see if you guys have any buyers remorse? Wish you should have spent the money on a different high powered sedan? please let me know your thoughts!

I had a 2018 GS F. I traded it in last month for a CTS V. GS F is a fine car but I just wanted 640 ponies and a mean sounding car.

If you buy used there will be no buyers remorse. If you by new at 90k that would be a yes. 16's with low mileage are going as low as 50k.

Often I think about Audi S6 Prestige. But for longterm ownership I think the GSF is the better choice

Not me. I bought a 16 new and more recently a 19 new. No buyers remorse here. GSF is a great car and I have had most everything else.

None at all BUT if you're wanting maximum performance or the latest tech I could see someone being disenchanted after a while. If you're looking for pretty decent performance with enough go-fast technical bits, solid fit and finish, fairly low-cost maintenance AND strong reliability, it's a hard package to beat. Thinking about its competitor set, it's one of the few cars I would own outside of warranty without the angst of something failing (and having to get it repaired).

Good luck!
Eric

I looked at the M3/CTS-V/S6 and chose this car over those for various reasons (cost of ownership, reliability, style, build quality, driveability and more) because I plan to keep this car for a long time as I have all my other cars. I compromised on some things but after driving this car for 2 years, absolutely no regrets here. This car is addictive to drive especially with a few mods like exhaust.

No. I have a 2016 GS-F I bought used with low mileage, 16,xxx.

I've owned a 1991 LS400, 1999 GS400, 2010 LS460 and 2013 LS460, so I like Lexus for the build quality and reliability. I comparison shopped the CTS-V and E63 AMG. I would have been terrified to own a E63 out of warranty, and I had concerns about Cadillac build quality. There are faster cars for sure, but the GS-F struck a good balance for me.

None at all. It all depends on what you are looking for. Can not think of a better car with the best blend of quality, performance, handling, luxury, and reliability. If you are looking for the fastest car only within its class/price range then this is not the car for you.

I 100% agree with this. Still love mine after 4 months. I would like if the downshifts were faster. With that aside its a fantastic car that should get 200k easy with minimal repairs.

Nope, no buyer's remorse. Purchased my '16 in Oct 18 and am loving the car. I told my wife that I was only going to keep the car for a couple years; however I'm not sure how I'm going to let it go now!

I am in the final 12 months of my lease and looking into a CTS-V. How do you like it so far? How's the interior and are they being flexible on the prices at all in your experience?

Thanks in advance for any info!
