True VIN look up on 2013 build sheet
I'm about to buy a certified gx 2013
is is it possible to do a vin search for the build sheet?
cant tell what optional packages it has.
Has 2nd row heated seats and can't tell if it's the upgraded leather.
Also has wood and leather trimmed stearing wheel and shift ****.

Not to my knowledge. Sometimes running a carfax will tell you if it is "Premium" spec or not but that is hit or miss.
Most options were part of packages in 2013. Try pulling up the brochure and determining what you can from what options you can confirm.
Almost every GX has nav and wood/leather wheel. Things like heated seats were standard equipment until later on when Lexus removed them. I'm not sure if 2nd row heated seats were standard equipment. However, heated wheel was typically limited to the premium model.
Levinson has almost always been part of the premium package, so it's a good bet if the truck has levinson, it has other things like the better leather, power 3rd row, etc. You can tell if a GX has levinson from pictures if you can see door tweeters on the rear passenger doors.

Thanks!!
Dealer was able to confirm the options on the vehicle. I think I got lucky and they sold the truck new back in 2013 also.
I just wanted to confirm the options --- which is both the
CONVENIENCE PACKAGE and COMFORT PLUS PACKAGE (GX 460)
It obviously has nav, but surprised to see it was considered an option item as well.
So in summary the truck is the base package with
CONVENIENCE PACKAGE
COMFORT PLUS PACKAGE
nav
Preferred accessory package
remote start

Comfort plus pack should have semi-aniline leather, wood and leather wheel and ****, heated middle row outboard seats, three zone automatic climate control.
Convenience pack includes auto-dim and power folding outside mirrors and intuitive parking assist.
Just be sure to check to see if the mirrors power fold and that the mid-row seats heat.
Doesn't look like either of those were stand-alone options in 2013.
Yeah, you can find a no-nav GX if you look really, really hard. These tend to be the only ones with no wood on the steering wheel, either. A true stripper GX is hard to come by.
Seriously though make sure your truck has the options you want before you buy. There are many trucks on the market advertised as premium, or having levinson, etc. when they do not. The price difference used from GX to GX is minimal so you might as well find one that has what you want.
