Hey everyone, new to the forums here. I've owned a number of Subaru STI/Mitsubishi EVO/Audi S4 cars in the past and currently looking at a 2016 GS F in Northern Virginia for sale. I would really appreciated any comments, it seems it's had minimum maintenance based on the carfax report. I've attached some information. If I pull the trigger on this I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here in the GS F Forums.

Thanks in advance,

 

Your most expensive thing will be brakes at this point. try and work a deal, mines the same spec.

 

Thanks, I've messaged them about doing or discounting the value of brakes replacement.

 

GSF's are getting harder to find in decent condition (especially the interiors) and clean CarFax reports. For reference, I paid slightly lower than the asking price for this particular F you're shopping. I have a 2017 Ultra White/Red and purchased a year ago with 25k on the odometer.

As Robert mentioned, brakes will be your only maintenance outside of oil changes and car washes. You can't go wrong with this car IMO.

 

Thanks for the feedback Scatman.

 

I'd have to question the area behind the front grill. It is usually black. That car looks grey or almost silver.

I would call up another Lexus dealer in your area and get a quote for brakes so you know the discount is fair.

My dealer charges $1600 for front OEM rotors/pads and like half that for the rear. If they discount you like $1k for brakes you’ll know they are playing games.

 

Good call out on this one. It seems that the front end was painted before.

 

Following up 1A1 observation, the spindle grill bumper does not line up with the hood evenly near the headlights. This car likely had front end damage and repair.

 

Yes, that bumper definitely has been painted. That crossbar behind the mesh grill is the same color (Atomic Silver) as the bumper. The painter failed to mask it off prior to painting the bumper and subsequently painted the entire assembly.

 

Front end was repaired and Lexus has no record of the repair:

I’m gonna say hard pass on this car.

 

Nice find Lou!

 

Not to mention, best Korean sub brand tires you can find! They spared no expense.

Guys - thanks so much for the input. Turns out the car was hit front right side! Going to continue the search, but passing on this one. I have to also say compared to other forums I've been on, much more positive group here!
