Default She's Gone!!!

Yup, just sold her Saturday. I've been going back and forth and decided it was time. Looking at the new 2013 Lexus GS 350 AWD completely loaded. Hopefully I don't miss the convertible too much, but in Vermont we have such inclement weather that the top was never down too much.

I'll still be a Club Lexus member I'll just be on the fourth gen GS boards.

Thanks for all your help over the years!

Beat wishes,

Josh

Will miss you but getting the new GS350 is going to be awesome for you!

We currently supply the plastic parts that go into the GS350 Pad Switch (steering wheel switches).

I will post a picture of the assembled Pad Switch.

So Josh, here’s some good luck to you on your GS350!

Happy trails! If I had the money, I would consider moving on to a new GS350 F-Sport also. Like I've said multiple times on here, my dad sells Lexus, and he said even the Luxury package fully loaded on the new GS handles amazingly. I can't wait to go test drive one. The white F-Sport package is my favorite. It looks like it's going to eat you . Before you leave our board permanently, please post pics of your GS when you finally get it!

Josh, also sorry to see you go. But I do understand that a convertible rear wheel drive isn't as good as a sedan with all wheel drive in your neck of the woods. Now your wife is going to have to get busy and paint another picture. lol Good luck with the new ride.

Josh, wow! Can't believe you did it! So sorry to hear, but I'm sure you'll just fall in love with the new GS just as much!

I can't wait to order the new GS, but what's holding me back is how hard I'm finding it to sell my 2011 Volvo C30 R-Design. I really didn't think it would be that hard to sell. I have it on Craig’s List, and have parked it for an entire week out front of my office, which has a ton of traffic. No bites at all. It's a great car and I'm asking below book value for it even with $3000 in additional options. I fear it's just one of those nitch vehicles that will be the death of me to sell. Any ideas you have would be great.

Thanks so much!

Enjoy the new GS. I just saw a show on the Speed channel that showcased the GS350 sport through a road course on the Columbia River Gorge - great performanace and handling. You will have fun with the S+ setting! Great new looks too. That said the SC is faster and has more torque ...
