Hi all, I’m new here.

Im thinking of purchasing a 2013 gs350 f sport with 60k miles. Black with red interior. It’s 1 owner with all service records for 20k
is this a fair deal?? Is there anything I should be looking out for with the 2013 gs350?

Are they pretty reliable? Is 60k miles a lot for this car? How many miles can I expect to put on it with proper care? Also, am I still under power train warranty? Since it’s 6 years 70k Miles?

Also, how does the 6spd in the 13’ compare to the 8spd in the newer models? I heard the ratios are more aggressive And it “feels” quicker than the new models due to the gearing of the 6spd. Is this true?

20k is the most I’ve ever spent.. I’m just worried about it messing up on me. I’m gonna kick myself cause I could purchase a lightly used Honda Accord with ultra low miles and factory warranty... but I really love the Lexus gs350

I paid $21ish for my AWD Lux back in November and it had 61,000 miles on it.

These cars are just hitting puberty at 60k. You'll get many, many more miles out of it with minimal maintenance.

That's a great deal.

Go for it, it's a great deal. I got one in December for 22.5k and it had 62k miles.

I just sold my 2013 GS350 F-Sport AWD with 56k miles on it for $26k. Was silver with cabernet interior, and had the Levinson stereo, cold weather package, heated steering wheel, remote start and all the other fun goodies. And I was the second owner from 22k miles. So if you get anything close to those options, no accidents and it's in good condition, for $20k, jump on it, it's an awesome car and you won't be disappointed! Just do your homework on the service records and look for anything recurring that could be an issue on the car that maybe this owner is giving up on.

Oh, speaking of Accords... I was the 1 person in 10 million who purchased a Honda Accord 20 years ago that turned out to be a lemon so even Accords can bum you out. I don't know if that 1 in 10 million stat is true, but nonetheless, it was a lemon and we ended up in court to get rid of it. That was the last new car I bought for myself (until next week when I pickup my new GS350 F-Sport).

I have a 2013 GS 350 F-Sport non -ML with nav, BSM, parking assist, rear wheel steering, currently 72k mi here in South TX.

I was sad to see what my car is worth, so that means you should be happy about the price you are paying.

Almost no mechanical issues with the car so far, just regular maintenance. This is the first year of a new model so had to get a couple things taken care of that you might want to look for:

• interior aluminum door panels dent easily from seat belt latch, you can get them replaced via a TSB if it hasn't already been done
• steering wheel may make a soft squeak on slow turning, it's likely the R&R spiral cable assembly inside the steering column

You got the interior door panels replaced recently even though it's out of warranty or do you still have a warranty on it? I have exactly the same car as you, with 63k miles and was under the impression I was out of warranty so didn't bother with it.
