I appreciate all opinions and experience.
Only you can answer that question.

Personally I would choose a Luxury package GS 350 over the F-Sport package. I'm really not too wild about the F-Sport's front end and I definitely don't want to deal with the fast wearing (and squealing) front brakes the F-Sport has for a daily driver vehicle. The kind of stuff (like squealing, fast wearing, real dusty brakes) is something you expect and don't mind dealing with on a [super] specialty car, but not a daily driver like a heavy 4-door sedan Lexus GS 350.

Definitely don't take that deal. That is crazy. I am still seeing 2013 GS350's go for 20k in Pa in 2019.

I just test drove an 18 F Sport with 19k miles yesterday. I honestly like driving my 15 better. The 18 just didn't feel as responsive and was a harsher ride.

I did like the newer infotainment, LKA and the newer safety features. But I didn't like them 20k more.
