Default New to me: 2015 GS 350 F Sport (RWD)

2015 w/all options except rear steer (I do like the Levinson stereo). 14k miles, one owner trade (general mgr at the CarMax). $29.5k including 6yr/100k B-2-B warranty.

It was a bit of a wait as I wanted Atomic Silver, black interior, no rear steer. Not a scratch, other than a couple of typical chips on the front end.

Only mod is 3M Color Stable 20%. Gets a bit warm in Nashville at times.

With such low mileage I'd expect it to price right at about $30K, so $29.5K that includes the Carmax B2B warranty is a great price!

Atomic Silver is the BEST color! Well done... and GREAT pic! This Liq Plat owner is just a little bit jealous.

Thank you!

I’m a silver/grey fan. Liquid Platinum looked better to me on overcast days, but Atomic Silver is amazing on sunny days. Black interior and loaded was a must and that took awhile as most had red interiors.

My wife’s (atomic) RX350 is covered under CarMax “MaxPlus”—as good as or better than factory warranty.

Happy Holidays.

Congrats on the car, can't wait to see the mods. That is a great price.

I ran my VIN on Lexus.com and my “new to me” 2015 has dynamic rear steering. Not sure how much of a difference it will make.

Back in the day I had a Prelude with rear wheel steer, lol.

As requested, a few interior shots. Pretty much new as it has 14.5k miles.

I was wrong earlier, it does have dynamic rear steering as I ran the VIN on Lexus.com

Not only did you make the right choice waiting for an Atomic Silver one, you got SO lucky getting one with rear-wheel steering. We have 2 GS' in the household, one with and one without... VERY different cars. Congrats!

Atomic Silver on 13-15 GS' with those wheels and their finish is incredible, probably my favorite looking style of GS period.

Thank you.

Atomic Silver or nothing was my POV. It simply is amazing and pops on sunny days, and hides dirt/swirls when the weather is crap.

Patience is required, and it took a lot of patience to find—year, one owner, ultra low miles, service history specs, color, & solid warranty to 100k at least.

Please know it took patience. My wife and I only buy our cars from CarMax (Lexus, Ford, and several BMWs over many years).

Can’t beat CarMax and their B2B MaxCare which has come in handy for two vehicles in the past.

I’m of course biased, from positive experience ✌��

Chinee,

Atomic Silver & Liquid Platinum are easily my favorite colors. I prefer silver cars—look clean even when dirty, and no visible swirl marks.

I’ll never own a black car again for those reasons!
