Default F Sport or no

Hi all,
I am looking into purchasing a high mileage 2014 Lexus RX 350. I have 2 options with roughly the same amount of mileage, with a difference of maybe $3000. One is the regular RX and the other is F sport. The CarFax is impeccable on both.

So my question are there any issues with the F sport that I should be aware of? The mileage on it is 85536.

I have mentioned this before, the only advice I can give is that you take an extended test drive in the F Sport because the suspension is much stiffer than a regular RX and is not for everyone. We drove an F Sport for almost 3 years and on smooth roads it was a very Lexus like quiet, refined ride. But on bumpy roads, or roads with the slightest imperfections the ride could sometimes be harsh. So test drive it on all types of road surfaces.

As far as issues, the only issue for me was a creaking noise from the rear going over bumps that turned out to be the bushings in the trailing arms that became unseated. The arms were replaced under warranty otherwise it was your typical Lexus. Even at 85K miles, if the one you're considering has been well maintained I'm sure it will go a long time.

Good Luck
