Using autotrader & cars.com there either a.) aren't any or b.) the dealerships don't highlight the luxury package in the listings.
The easiest way to spot it on autotrader/cars.com is to look for the following wheel design:

Thia thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ictures-2.html will be super helpful in helping you identify a Luxury package car through pics. Some key features to look for: front passenger door has memory seats buttons, rear armrest had climate and audio controls, rear doors have sunshades, wood trimmed steering wheel, different wheel design (like one listed above or silver finished 19" F-sport wheels)

It is a 2015 Lux with 19" wheels. 13-14 had the older style wheels. It's the same style of wheels like the FSports but in hyper silver finish.

Easiest way to spot a Lux from inside are the drivers seat controls (more buttons on the LUX to include side bolsters, etc) and also to look at the mode wheel. No S Sport+ setting on the non- LUX. Based on '13.

Easiest way should be the wooden trim on the steering wheel which would be very visible.

the 2013 has a different face which i think actually looks better. it doesn’t have the full grille, and is instead split.

I have a 2013 with Lux package, HUD, ML stereo, etc. It also has auto heated/vented seats - not sure why folks say that’s only available on 2014
My favorite thing between Lux vs Fsport is the Lux has fog lights.
