Bought it at 69K for $20K in December 2021. Currently at 87K.
Previous owner hadn't done much besides oil changes so I had my mechanic do a transmission and differential service. Also performed a few jobs myself: bled the brakes, did a partial coolant flush, put in a new sunroof seal (there was a pretty good clunk which went away after replacing the seal) and I've done 3 oil changes. I have new spark plugs, plan on swapping those out pretty soon (a little apprehensive about that job as I'm not a great mechanic). I also bought front brake pads. I checked the pads for wear last week and I can probably go another 6 months before putting them in.
Curious to see how long I can get the tires to last because the staggered set up has been known to eat tires fast. I put back tires on soon after buying the car they have 13K on them now and are holding up well. Front tires have some tread left but I noticed some cracking on the inner sidewalls and they're about 4 years old so I'm going to get them replaced in the next couple weeks.

Very nice! $22k OTD is a great price!
I paid $200 for a new accessory belt + trans drain and fill 3qts. Another time it was $100 for a rear differential service (mechanic recommended I get one at 100k). I get work done through an independent Japanese shop.

As for the OTD price, I got mad lucky. The dealer had a new manager and they didn't know the GS was an F Sport (it wasn't even listed as an F Sport either on the website) and they knew they priced the car too low than what it was worth, but since I already called and came in they couldn't go back on the agreed price. I also bought it down another $600 to get to $22k flat since the rear bumper was misaligned (previous owner backed into something slowly I presume since there was no dent, just some cracks on the paint and a misaligned bumper you can't really notice). Anyways, I'll eventually probably get rear-ended in the future, so once I do I'll replace the bumper with the insurance money

@Amisdia Welcome to GS owners club and good price.
I got mine in early May 2023 from Nevada (got it shipped to Northern CA). 2015 GS350AWD with 38k miles and it cost me $22k out the door including shipping. Wasn't absolutely fine though, so far there were issues I found.
1) GPS signal wasn't working ( GPS antenna board was broken because some idiot put longer screw when he was doing something there)
2) clock was running too fast ( I tried fixing using some details from forum but I think I botched it completely)
Since owning it, we had issue where animal hit front bumper and damaged plastic tabs on parking sensors which I got it fixed for very very cheap with JB Weld by removing bumper.
Now onto finishing up DIY servicing. Will finish oil change, filters change, tranny fluid drain/refill, front and rear different fluids change and brake fluid flush.
