I currently own a 2013 GS 350 with the luxury package. I am the original owner and have the vehicle regularly serviced. purchased the extended warranty as I got close to 50k miles and it has already paid for itself as I had one of the blind spot sonar sensors go bad in the back. nothing on these cars is cheap to fix, so keep that in mind
A Carfax will give you the Service History or not. Most leased new cars are under the full warranty during lease. Why would one not get a problem under Lexus warranty fixed vs driving the car with a problem? Did you also notice the CPO car the thread starter stated that it has some blemishes in the interior? On a CPO Lexus?

BTW Lexus Dealers also sell NON-CPO Lexus's and I think they can put a NON CPO service contract on the car.

Also OP thread starter has yet to state the equipment options on the car.

Easiest way to spot Luxury package is the S+ on the mode dial, and also the seat controls. The 18 way power seats have quite a few more adjustment buttons than the standard seats.

That is the biggest tell for the exterior but I have seen a few base models online with those wheels or very similar ones too, I guess they swap them out or they are available for purchase.

Didn't the luxury package switch to the 19" F Sport wheels (in chrome) for '15? Or am I remembering that incorrectly?

Yeah you're right. I remember a few posts about that as well. I think the 2015 model year 19" Lux wheels were just the F-Sport wheel in a silver finish: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ntinued-2.html

Only the 2013-2014 Lux models have that lobster Claw-Like wheel finish. Although I think some locations outside the US are getting that 18" lobster claw wheel as standard equipment even on the 2017 models.
