Wow, that great! Where did you find your F sport? That's exactly the type of scenario I am looking for! Did you go out and see it beforehand? Being CPO, are you sure a local dealer would cover cosmetic issues though?

Thanks,
Brandon

I'm guessing you bought the red fsport from jlm Lexus from Florida
I was looking at that one and wasn't sure about the color

From what I've seen, Fl seems to be competitively priced. Take this one at Lex of Palm Beach for example:

Yep, that's the one I bought! It was actually the exact color combination and option list I was looking for.

I did not see the exact car, but I did see one in the same color to confirm what I wanted. It took me about a 60 days of scouring Autotrader and Cars.com before I found the specific car.

Initially, I did have some concern as to whether the condition was honestly described, so I asked for some additional pictures of things I was concerned about (for example, there was only one wheel pictures, so I had concern about curb rash, and they emailed pics of the other wheels) and they accommodated the additional picture requests. Because it was a Lexus dealer, some of the concern was minimized.

There are a couple of issues that were surprisingly not addressed that should be covered under the CPO warranty, but otherwise I was happy with what was delivered to me and I think it was accurately described.

The car was delivered on a flatbed from South Florida to the Atlanta area for about $400, so I think I made out pretty well overall.

Good news Gents, the wifes IS350 sold tonight! I got $21k for it which i think is decent.

Now the search begins for the GS350. I'm looking at only F sports right now. Do any of the F sports in warmer parts of the country have the heated steering wheel (cold weather pkg)? The wife wants this of course
Its tough to say by looking at the pics.

I may also reach out to anyone in some of the areas these cars are located for someone to go over and take a peek for me before I fly out, if that's possible.

Wish us luck!

It'll probably be a little tough to find one i'll admit. If you find one in south fla. let me know and I'll see if I can snap some pics for you.

After searching a bit more, most F sports are in warmer climates hence no cold weather pkg I think we may just have to live without that feature. There is a car in Miami I inquired about, where are you?

yardie876

Yea I was afraid so. :/ I'm smack in the middle of Miami/Ft Lauderdale so everywhere is pretty much accessible. What dealership was the car at?

bigbwb

West Kendall, Black F sport.

I spent tonight emailing multiple dealers across the country inquiring about the F sports they have listed. Now its a waiting game

yardie876

Oh cool that's not too too far from me. I might not be able to make a trip down there until Sunday or Monday though.

What features/specifications do you want for sure on the car? There are a few dealers around here that sometimes don't put their inventory on autotrader, etc.

bigbwb

Very cool! I do have an email out to that dealer.

As for the car:

Black grey or red exterior
Any color interior
f sport
Other options are really not that crucial
Has to be mint, no exceptions!

I'll keep you in the loop!

yardie876

Ok awesome. I'll post a review on the car when I get a chance to stop by!

bigbwb

I really appreciate it, thank you!

hey guys,
I found a used 2013 Lexus GS350 F sport at Flow Lexus. Black on black. I am curious if anyone might be willing to do me a huge favor and take a peek at it prior to me booking a flight out there from our place here in WI?

If you are interested, please let me know. I am hoping to get the ball rolling early next week if the car is in the shape they described it as over the phone.

THanks so much!

Brandon

ps - I am also keeping the one in miami in mind as well.
