Default Does anyone here know this GSF

My friend Sal(also a member here) is interested in this car, he's from Cali and not able to see this in person; its a 2018 GSF. Seems like it has a Artisan Spirits kit and some wheels on it. Checking here if anyone know about this car and know its history?

It's not this one. This owner was in socal, didn't have an Artisan kit or those Savini wheels.

I remember seeing the previous owner trying to sell the car private party about 6 months ago. Looks like this dealer got ahold of it.

Sorry - don't know anything about the car other than it needs some OEM wheels ASAP ! Seems like a great price regardless.

I guess with those wheels you don't have to worry about scraping the front lip.

3 owners on a 2018 Lexus or Toyota probably wouldn't be a deal breaker for me as long as it looks well maintained. Has he considered a pre-purchase inspection? You still have 2 years left on the factory warranty right?

I've only read of one engine failure on an GS-F/RC-F due to a spun bearing, I think. Now if this was a modified Subaru STI, yeah I'd stay clear. My CPO 2017 had two owners prior and its been flawless.
