I come from BMW 325i , 335i , Audi A4 3.0 , VW Jetta 1.8t , Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland (two) , Jeep Wrangler and '19 NX300 (wifes current). Most recently I had a 2006 IS350 but that was just stolen. It was black / tan with 102k miles. Perfect condition ! Sad really, but it led me to this beauty so I can't be too upset...


Looking good! I used to own a 2013 GS F-Sport in white on red when it came out. It had the most comfortable and adjustable seats.

1. 2018 GS F-Sport
2. Liquid Platinum/Black
3. Nav / Mark Levinson
4. AWD
5. No DRS
6. I plan on painting the calipers burnt copper (someone on the forums did this, and I really like it), redoing the tint, and hyperdipping the rear logo and badge in Piano Black. Would like to add a front/rear dash cam and illuminated sills down the line.
7. This was the only car I've considered for years now. I came from a 2008 Camry XLE (which I still have because it only has 90k on the clock... gonna give it to my son whenever he decides he wants to learn how to drive). I only got that because my 2002 Camry XLE failed emissions due to a bad ECM, and I wasn't ready to get my GS yet. Glad it worked out the way it did, though.

Awesome, congrats! As the owner of painted calipers (orange) I think they make a huge difference and look forward to seeing yours once done up in copper!

LOOONNGGGGG time lurker first time making an account and posting. Just got my 2nd 4the gen GS. 4th GS overall. First GS I had was the 2000 (black on tan). Sold it at 220k miles and bought a cpo 2006 GS (obsidian on black). Eventually traded it in at 240k miles for a cpo 2013 GS f sport (obsidian on black). And about two weeks ago I traded it in at 154k miles for a cpo 2017 GS luxury package (eminent white pearl on black). Main reason for upgrading a couple weeks ago was the darn f sport brake squeal which the dealership just couldn’t get rid of. Windshield was cracked and needed new tires soon as well. The cost to fix her all up and ready for my state inspection a couple month (about $1500) just didn’t seem worth it. So I traded it in for the 17 Lux package w/ 33k miles. Love the facelift much more, and a huge fan of the luxury package over the f sport. All I know is GS (15 years strong) and I don’t know what I’m going to do in a few years when I upgrade again. All I can hope for is miraculously Lexus decides to bring our favorite model back! Haven’t taken any personal pics yet but will soon. Here is the dealer pic for now. As you can see, the luxury 19’ wheels are powder coated gloss back, which was done by the dealership when the 1 owner lease got it.

looks great! Let me know when you swap out the wheels so I can buy those off you! I’ve got a 2014 base that was bone stock when I got it 6 months ago.

Here she is now!
