Plus they provided a 167 high res photos of the car and also specifically show all of the issues noted in the photos. Definitely feel that is was a well spent $150. The also take photos of the paint meter so you the thickness of the paint so you know no body work was done, pretty thorough.

That sounds like a good service for you folks in the US since I know buying from other states is pretty common there. Most people in Canada don't bother buying from other provinces because of complicated paperwork and tax implications.
That's a great report - also the salesperson makes a lot more sense by stating that it wasn't certified initially because of its status as a loaner car/low mileage/remaining original warranty.
My only hang up would be not being able to drive it myself. If i really wanted it, I'd hop on a flight or long drive down to get the chance to drive it myself, buy it in person, and then drive it home

Me too, I am seriously consider buying a ticket and going to check it out. Would be about a 1200 mile - 18 hr drive home...yikes
Following up with an update. I ended up flying down yesterday morning, got to the dealership at 9 am. Made the deal at $35,574 including the L certification. Drove it home the 1180 miles, took about 17 hrs. I am now the proud owner of a 16 GS 350. It drove great and really enjoyed the 18 way seats and radar cruise. Made the long trip much more bearable. Cleaned it inside and out and looks great. There are couple minor cosmetic blemishes, all but two I was able to polish out.
I see you have the 19" noise reduction wheels. How is the ride quality on the 19's?
This was my first time driving the GS with the luxury wheels as I could never find one close to me. I’ve driven several f-sports with the 19” wheels. The 19” wheels ride much better than I thought they would. I have 17” on my ES350 and on the ES board everyone says the 18” wheels ride harsh on the ES and I was concerned about the 19” on the GS but it is a non-issue.

Which one is quieter inside when you are driving at 70+ mph in a highway -- your GS or ES?

Good question, my initial thought is the ES is quieter but I still have my ES, actually driving it today so I can pay more attention the noise in both and get back to you.
