Seems like it's a rare pkg. There aren't many used GS 350's around here and only one with the luxury pkg that I could find. Not a big fan of the exterior color, I like the contrast of the white with the dark grey rims. This one has too much silver. But everything else is great. Hard to beat 9k miles.

Not true. The AVS programming is drastically different. This has been discussed in detail. Do a search and you will find it.

I have already the threads. I know the AVS is more agressivr on the f-sport. I was simply implying that you atleast still get the sport + option.

Lots of things to consider.
Yeah it doesnt look as nice as the F-sport but those are little things you can always change on the exterior. The bumper and rims. The interior would take more work. I say buy the car that will make more happy. With either F-sport or luxury, you will smile behind the wheel regardless.

The Lux pkg has quite a bit going for it, I like the rear seat controls in the armrest, passenger seat memory and heated rear seats, but I’m by my lonesome 95% of the time so those options, although nice-to-have would not be getting a whole lot of real world use. But I’m a gadget-guy so I wanted everything, but Lux’s were so rare.

I believe the Lux also rides softer and more comfortably than the FSport. And everyone who has the HUD absolutely loves it.

Take your time and get to know the cars and options available on each model. And look at 2016s as well, apart from the facelift and different wheels, some options became standard.

Yep. I might just wait for 2016. There are zero for sale in my area right now though.

Patience you must have, young padawan...

The GS's were usually released very late in the year, so 3 years ago today, dealers were likely still clearing out their 2015s, so the 2016s should be coming off lease soon, in decent volumes, in December/January. The big challenge when shopping for the GS350 is that prices vary greatly. Here in South Florida I see a lot of 2015s from $27.5 - 33K, a handful of 2016s from $33 - 38K, and another few 2017s from $40 - 47K. Take your time if you can, and get the one you really want.

BTW... I came from a 2003 G35 and never got better than 20 MPG, even on the highway, and was averaging 17 MPG when I finally said goodbye 15 years later. What was your real-world MPG experience with your G37?

And the 2017 GS model added all the safety equipment as standard....

In my G37 I’m currently averaging 22 mpg with 80% highway miles. Kind of ridiculous for a smaller sedan these days. It has good power but I could be driving an suv and get equal or better MPG.
