Default First time Lexus owner.
I shopped several sport sedans over the last 3 weeks before landing on a 2013 GS. I went back and forth between a BMW 550i, BMW 335i, Audi A4, and a couple GS350's. After much stress I decided to go with the GS350, I was too nervous about owning a BMW out of warranty.Unfortunately I couldn't find an Fsport in my price range, but im very happy with the one I got.
2013 GS350 Premium Meteor Blue with 56k. Cant wait to start modding, im already shopping wheels. I will post better pics as it progresses.

Congrats on the GS! I've always liked that color. What color is your interior? And how much did you get it for ?

Its got the black/grey. After much negotiation I ended up paying 21,900 for it. I have some crappy phone pics. Ill take some real photos after I get it looking like I want it. Made an appointment to get the windows done today. Step one.

Great find and a great price. I have the same color combo in the lux version. The color combo gets tons of complements.

Congrats on your new car! You made a solid choice with the GS over the other cars so I'm sure you'll have many happy miles!

Have the 535i xD and 350F, the 535 is always at service, almost out of warranty. You made the right choice, congrats!

Great unique color choice - not many in that scheme and at that excellent price. If you get wheels and tint that's a great start...Enjoy!

Congrats!

I bought my GS fairly recently too. Was cross shopping with an Audi S6 and chose the GS.

Just curious as to why you didn't look at any S4s as that's closer to the GS's price range than the A4.
