Considering 2013 GS 350
Hi everyone,
New to Lexus coming from a Tundra. I am looking at a 2013 Lexus GS350 with 50k miles, 1 owner, CPO, with the dealer asking for $28k. Other than some scratches, some interior blemishes and some stupid looking pin stripe, the car seems to be in good condition, rides and drives very nicely, much better than a pickup lol.
It has a clean car fax that shows all the service records from that dealer. Obviously, Lexus is part of Toyota which speaks to its reliability and nothing really jumps out at me on the forum here as known issues or persistent problems
I have a deal in principal for the car but in the interest of not being impulsive I wanted to take a day and think.
If there are any known concerns/issues/problems with this model year that I should bring up or something about the CPO warranty I may not know about it would be greatly appreciated

I do think the price is too high though especially with 50K miles. Is it even a F sport or Luxury model? I don't know if CPO is really worth paying a couple thousand extra for in these cars as they are pretty solid and the one you are looking at already have some scratches and interior blemishes from what you say. If it is not a F sport or Luxury I would try to find one priced around 22-23K or get it down to that with that mileage and even forgo the CPO if you can to lower the price, even some F sports and Luxury's can be had around 23-25 now with that kind of mileage or a little above it. That is just me though.

I've done my looking around and this seems to be about the going rate for a CPO from a dealer in CT, a bit cheaper with less miles from independent places but they're a bit sketchy for my taste. Unfortunately, theres not much for inventory in my price range in my area. Maybe i'll bring in some of the cheaper ones next time I talk to them and see if that moves the price.
Thanks for the tip on the 2014.

Looking at a Black/Black one. Does not have Wood Steering wheel. What package does that mean it does not have? Thanks.

I also recently bought mine CPO from CT as well. They are very good cars and a blast to drive.
I have no regrets buying.

Hopefully your car is loaded up.
Perhaps Luxury Package which includes 18 inch rims, AVS, rear seat controls for audio and 3rd zone, wood/leather steering wheel, adaptive headlights.
Blind spot monitor and parking assist.
Super size HD display that splits screens Nav and other functions like climate/audio/phone etc.
Cold weather package, heated steering wheel, heated/cooled seats,
Remote start,
etc.
What accessories does your car have?

My 2013 GS has a wood steering wheel. Part of the Luxury package. LP also includes additional driving mode Sport+ which tightens he steering and suspension. LP new is about 7K but for a used 2013 is worth about 2.5-3K.
I also recently bought mine CPO from CT as well. They are very good cars and a blast to drive.

That's based on what I have been seeing on the internet for sale. Also you did not say what equipment packages it has. Or what you want.
Also depends on the scratches, and interior blemishes, if they are so bad the Lexus dealer could not recondition them? Minor scratches or ok, but interior blemishes would bother me for $28k on a 2013.

Same scenario but with a 2014 GS 350 with FSport
I am in a similar boat here. Confused in either Leasing a 2017 IS350 F Sports or Financing a CPO 2014 GS 350 F sport with 18K miles for $35K.
What do you guys think?

Luxury package has
Semi aniline leather
Different type of polished wood, forgot the name of it.
18 in multi spoke wheels
Rear seat controls.
AVS which helps handling and a few more smaller things
Power rear sunshade
The luxury package was very expensive, around 6K so they are pretty rare.
