These both look really nice with low mileage.

The 1st one is a basic GS w low mileage for a decent price per car fax.

The 2nd is an F Sport with triple beam Head Lights and ML sound at full retail per car fax with CPO for 6 months unlimited miles. Usually CPO is 2 years unlimited miles so this dealership must be cutting back on the risk they take.

I like the F Sport better in this case with the triple beam HL and ML.

Only if you dare choose to own a black car...and don't mind dealing with F-Sport brake pads and rotors on a regular basis.

I actually prefer the non F sport due to that issue. And black is my last choice.

the silver one sold.

the search continues I guess.

There's your CPO if you really want that warranty. But I'd probably wait for it to drop a little.

It'd probably be cheaper to buy a used car and get an extended warranty separately, though.

I see there's a 2019 and 2020 GS 350 available on Carvana that can be delivered right to your front door in a couple days. I suspect they are in showroom mint condition.

maybe these two

https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/2918306
https://www.cherryhilltriplex.com/au...ource=cars.com

it all depends your budget. Not sure if a RWD works here. If RWD works, maybe you have more choices.

I recommend finding a lux package car. They're only available on 2016-2017 US model years but they made them into 2018 for Canadian models so sometimes you get lucky with a CA car. A fully loaded lux will have triple beam LEDs, heads up display, mark Levinson audio, the 18-way seats shared with fsport, heated rear seats, rear seat entertainment, rear passenger door sun shades, rear window sunshade, power trunk. The lux models are always listed as a base gs350 based on the vin so you need to look for the lux 19" wheels and then browse the images from there. A lot of sellers don't even know the rear infotainment controls are there since the arm rest will be folded up into the seats. Check the pinned thread on how to identify all their options. There will usually only be a few luxs for sale in the country but I doubt there are more than a 1000 fully loaded ones ever. I had to wait 3 months to find mine and it was a 4 hour drive to go get it. GLWTS.

My 2013 is a Lux. I love the features, and would buy it over an F-Sport all over again. Kids adore hopping in the back.

Great reminder, lux was available 2013--2015 prior to the refresh in 2016 so you can get a better priced car.
