Hey everyone, I'd like to introduce myself into the 4GS forum, i've been on clublexus since 2012, i had a 98 lexus gs300 for the last 7 years which has been very good to me, but as of August 26 2019, someone decided to hit and run that car and it's finished, havent had a car for the past 3 months. I just purchased this as of saturday november 23 2019. I actually need to part out my aftermarket stuff from it so maybe i can earn a vouch on here.
I love this car already, checks all the boxes, i think my favorite so far is the heated steering wheel and automatic heated seats when i get into it. I'm in canada.
2013 Lexus GS 350 Fsport AWD
89,000 kms or 55k miles
Nebula/Mercury Grey on black leather with navigation
Cold weather package
Skipper style front lip
Paint protection on front bumper/fenders/hood.
Roof wing
Muffler delete
Tanabe lowering springs
Winter tires on factory 19"
Im looking to do the tailight overlay, install a remote starter hopefully from my old gs, install my blackvue 750S 2CH, upgrade rest of interior with led, upgrade mirror puddle lights to led, maybe some Wed's kranzes for summer.
Car is a lil dirty in this pic, but i will post a clean pic soon i hope.

Hey everyone,
I bought my GS350 in June, and I wanted to introduce myself and become more active on the forum. When my beloved G37 coupe got totaled around the same time my wife found out she was pregnant with our first child, I knew it was time for me to break down and buy my first 4-door car. The GS350 F Sport had been in the back of my mind as a future "dad car" for a while, but I had doubts about whether it would be sporty enough for me. I preferred a V8 and looked at a number of other candidates, but the GS350 F Sport struck the perfect balance of fun to drive and extremely comfortable on road trips. The refined styling, fit and finish, and long-term reliability are also IMO the best of any car on the list below. I've added about 9000 miles to it now (almost exclusively in Sport+ mode), and the 16-way F Sport seats and Mark Levinson stereo are superb.
This is my first Lexus, and it has completely changed my perception of the brand. I'm looking forward to many years of happy ownership, and maybe a GS F someday!
Here are the details:
1. 2015 GS350 F Sport
2. Liquid Platinum / Cabernet
3. Nav / Mark Levinson / Blind Spot Monitor / Intuitive Park Assist
4. RWD
5. No DRS
6. Only mod so far is hardwired radar detector with BlendMount / Considering RR Racing tune + intake, front LCA bushings (RR Racing or Figs), remote start, 35% tint all around
7. Other cars considered: Chevy SS, Cadillac CTS-V, Lexus IS F, Infiniti G37S Sedan, Kia Stinger GT, Mazda3 GT hatchback, Infiniti FX50S / Replaced 2008 G37S Coupe (214,000 miles and heavily modified)

Nice vehicle - IMO 2015 was the best year to buy, lots of little advancements and my preferred steering wheel.

I purchased a 2016 GS350 F Sport yesterday. Traded a 2010 BMW 535IX. Very happy with the change. I previously had a 2004 LS430, my wife’s primary car, we sold it with about 250,000, loved the low cost of ownership but I found the car a bit boring. Lexus has stepped up with the GS. Given the depreciation and high costs, I won’t miss the BMW.

Nice looking GS! It looks brand new. More and more people are leaving BMW for Lexus. For what a BMW costs it's a shame they're not reliable long term like a Lexus.

i decided to go with a CPO. I know everyone does the “2500” point inspections, but at the dealership I actually saw the receipts showing what they did to get the car certified. I think the, condition and peace of mind was worth it. I think I will do a ceramic coat.

I have had a BMW in my garage since 1989 and could do a lot of my own maintenance . The brand has changed, good luck if you own one past about 100,000 miles. Even changing the battery on my 5 series was a headache, it required special programming for the car to recognize a new batter.
