2013 white GS 350 f sport opinions
Looking for inputs on a potential purchase. Buying from car max. Details are 2013 f sport white with red leather interior. 41k miles.
https://www.carmax.com/car/14327410?adcode=EM_XFERE1&utm_campaign=CRM_XFER_E1&utm_source=CRM_XFER_E1_ViewCarLNK&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=CRM_Shipped&sn=14327410&name=John&scname=Farrow%20Smith&scemail=Farrow_Smith@carmax.com&scphone=(702)%20227-7135&sccopied=N&sc_cid=emxferlp&loc_num=7244&gcid=47458064
Let's hope that link works...
Variable rear steering. Premiums package. New tires. Looks like it has trd sport exhaust and diffuser. Trd spoiler. Trd front lip and side skirt adding.
Has 1 inch long paint chip with touch up paint on bumper. $29k.
Drove it, felt nice, ride was a aliitle rough, brakes squeal a little. car max says they can service the brakes if then need to within the 30 day warranty, I read about the service bulletin for speaks brakes, I haven't looked into what is actually replace or repaired on it, but it would be their service department and I'm guessing it might be a little of a fight to get it 100% fixed.

Having trouble with the iPhone. Continuing.
Passenger front door has over spray on the weather stripping. So obviously some paint work has been done. There is no sign of accident damage and the car fax is clean.
Was serviced regularly up to 38k miles and nov 2013 at the dealer. It seems to have only gone about 3-4K
miles in the last 3 years.

Another Question. Do all Lexus 350 engines have such a loud tapping sound. Pretty sure it's the fuel injectors and the video makes it seem it's worse than it was in person.

To me it seems the only reason to even consider this deal is the TRD pkg....I bought a 3 year old lease return, perfect condition 2013 GS350 (also in white) for 29k as well. However my one had about 35k miles on it, and was the lux pkg with Mark Levinson and HUD.
With some of the deals I see for GS350s these days...I would walk..

Yeah looks like some paint got on the trim of the door, that would probably worry me why there was even overspray there. Unless its a really good deal I'd probably keep looking for something that isn't modded. You can run the vin thru the my lexus drivers site to see what kind of stuff may have been done at the dealer.

If anyone wants to run service information on a lexus you can signup for a account free here.

Plugin the VIN and then go under service history.

Personally I'd skip on this one. I generally don't mind a little paint work, but that's sloppy paint work.
