I got mine that had an MSRP of $55-56k-ish... the GS350 F-sport comes with leather standard (I don't think you can get it otherwise) I got the Mark Levinson and was a USB too. After negotiations you can bring that price well below $52k. But even if you don't go for the F-Sport, going for a base (most likely with the Premium package) you could get an 2018 for less than a 2017

I have seen few base model cars when I was looking to buy with 17" wheels and smaller screen with only a backup camera and no navigation.

I feel it was well worth the trip $$ wise to buy mine out of state.

I dont know the guy personally, but scumbag or not, he is just following the letter of the law. If the car is purchased in another state, the delivery MUST occur in the home state with zero miles added to the odometer. An odometer disclosure statement staing miles and place of delivery must be certified by the seller. This is the ONLY way to legally avoid paying sales tax in the state of purchase.
