Currently own a 2nd gen GS with 230K and it's time to get a new car. I've had a 2010 LS460 before and loved it but it was depreciating way too fast (I drive approx 100 miles/day minimum), so I have been looking at the GS350. I found a couple of 2015 GS350's with the coveted luxury package, both from the dealer. First car is white on flaxen, 53k miles and they're asking 26K. Second is silver with grey interior, 43k miles and asking 24K. Does the pricing for that sound about right? How much room do I have for negotiation? I realize the luxury package is quite sought after. Also, for those that have the luxury package, did you consider the f-sport as well or vice versa? Thanks in advance for the input!

As a point of comparison I bought mine several months ago AWD with lux, pcs and cold weather packages for $29k (pre-tax) with 22k miles. I like the look of the fsport front end better but in the end I'd rather have the lux features (you still get the active suspension similar to the fsport).

@PlatES300 those prices seem a about right for the mileage and age. The Lux package is rare, but it doesn't really add a hefty premium to the used price. Just to compare your findings, a countrywide search reveals an average price in the mid-20's depending on year/mileage. I bolded the 2014 below b/c its a great deal and its Certified:

I've been on the hunt for a lux GS in the tri state area. I check a couple times a week but i have yet to find one. Most all of the ones I find are from Texas or the south

That 2015 with 60K miles for $21,654 looks like a smoking deal, it even has ML which is very rare in a GS.
Funny how several of those Luxury versions don't have the luxury wheels, were people really trading them off, they are good looking wheels.

@Albo its a little outside our tri-state in Massachusetts but take a look at this beautiful lux pkg '17: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...0675/overview/

Hi Albo,

Hers's one in North Jersey, it doesn't come up when you select luxury package though.

With AWD, HUD, ML, 43k. Very special GS right there.

I suggest you should look for 2016+. With little more $$, you will get better features, like Power Trunk, full screen Navigation, etc.

Rare option even with triple beam LED head lights at great price.

But it's from independent dealer with accident reported car.

I would stay away from it.

I agree about the dealer, the reviews on CarGurus seem to suggest they're a little shady. I was going to inquire about the car myself until I read the reviews.

@UDel actually quite a few of the 2015 Lux Package GS's came with 19" wheels that were exactly like the F-Sport wheel but in a Silver finish. They are squared 19x8 Lux Pkg wheels. For some reason, we never saw any official release from Lexus about these wheels but only a handful of 2015 Lux pkg cars had them.

I've looked at the 2016 but don't like the front end look on them as much as the 2014-2015. That and the mileage on the 2016 will be more for the same price of a 2015. I'm dead set on a 2015 w/ luxury package.

Albo

The dealerships in that area which is very close to me are all shady. The accident makes sense as to why it's so cheap. But the car is for my girlfriend and I'd hate to put her in a car that's been compromised. The Massachusetts one is nice, I appreciate all the links gentlemen. It's truly a blessing.

Absolutely love this find, if I were buying a new (to me) GS today, I would very strongly consider this one. Great color combo and seems pretty loaded with lux package, HUD, ML, etc.
