GS - 4th Gen (2013-2020) Discussion about the 2013 and up GS models

Is this CarFax good? There don't seem to be many oil changes done, why is that?

For the price you pay, a $150 give or take inspection check out is something I would never overlook to know the condition of a used car. Most times you sign off on As Is. Even most addition warranty's now say No Pre existing conditions will be covered. Good luck!

Of course, PPI is a must! I just hope whatever car I end up buying will last me for the next 15 years without any problem, then after that I'll trade it in for something newer, or run it until it dies.

Any reason you're set on this one? It's not a particularly high trim level though the paint color is pretty rare. I would probably go after a Lux/F-Sport with the Mark Levinson given the option.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier lol. F sport tire/brake maintenance is more than the regular version, they also cost around $4-5k more to get into as well, and I don't feel like it's worth it. The regular GS feels 95% as fun to drive as the F Sport. And all the luxury packages in my area have super high miles and the interiors look pretty beat up on them as well. The regular version is more than enough for me, plus the price is under $20k which is a plus. Not to mention the paint color looks dope!

Fair enough, those large brakes and more expensive tires are also the same reason I didn't opt for the F-Sport myself.
