Default Good Bye to my Lexus GS 350...

Saying good bye to my 4th Lexus GS 350, I have had the following model years 2008.2009.2013.2015

Now its time for an upgrade I like the styling of the new ES however I do not like FWD, so today I traded in my Pearl White Lexus GS for a Brand new Lexus RX F Sport. I have HUD, triple beams, PSC, pano roof and every option available for the F Sport. I had a horrible experience at Keyes Lexus here in California - that will be on another post. However the folks at South Bay Lexus here in Torrance got the job done and I'm in love with my new RX, they made sure I had a great buying experience.

I don't know, but something about the RX FSport is so appealing to the eye.

nice looking truck good luck with it, love the color.

I don't like FWD but you bought a FWD truck, even with AWD they are FWD biased.
not sure I understand

Yeah but it’s still AWD even if it’s FWD based but I had to compromise somewhere... the only other option would’ve been the GX and gas being close to $5 here in LA I’m not paying $100 at the pump every time

I believe if you are in sport mode it might be 50/50 split.

Congrats! It's beautiful. I love the RX F-Sport. Looks super sharp in Ultra White too!

I'm curious to know what happened at Keyes. We got both of our GS' from them.

I was working with a sales rep and I wanted to be at a certain number and when I declined the offer he said I was playing games and to buy the car from somewhere else and I wasn’t going to get a deal anywhere else. I couldn’t believe the disrespect along with the attitude, he said it was a slow month for him and he needed a sale. It left a bad taste in my mouth so I went elsewhere and got a better deal actually.

Yeah RX FSport is the way to go for SUV. The 2020 refresh makes it even better.

And yeah I could never get a deal at Keye's either, tried twice there but no deal. I only go there if I need to buy parts cause for some reason their online store has the lowest prices compared to other dealers in the area.
