Default After 7 wonderful years, I sold my GS

I wish the new owner nothing but the same happiness and enjoyment of the car as I had over the last 7 years and 50k miles. At 77k on the clock, it's barely broken in. For reference it is a 2014 RWD F-Sport (no ML, no VGRS).

I did price it to sell and had I held out, likely could have gotten over 18k. I sold it for $17,500 private sale in FL and just had all 4 rotors/pads replaced, brake flush, diff flush, oil change done. Got an unimaginable amount of lowball offers but the lucky buyer picked up a gem by being courteous, communicative, and appreciative of the vehicle instead of trying his hardest to save a few bucks on what is already a phenomenal price. I literally fielded offers of $14k-16k for this car while comps with 90k+ around me are listed at 18k+, shoot your shot I guess

As for the replacement, eagerly waiting on my USB 2.0 LC500 to be delivered!

Thanks to all on this forum for the inspiration, advice, and sense of community. Here is one of the final pictures I took of it:

Picking up an LC500 is one of the few solid reasons for parting with a GS. Can't wait to see some pictures!

Sounds like your GS found an owner who will appreciate it for the wonderful car it is. I hope your LC comes in soon!

Congrats on the LC500…I just traded in my 07 TSX with RRC intake, RSX vtc gear with hondata tune for my new GS350. I know the feeling of sadness, but enjoy the pure joy of the new whip.

What's that blue thing you have mounted on the roof?




You better not be a total stranger to the 4GS forum just because you have a fancy-schmancy LC500!
