Given choices sure if it was on a car I’d pay a bit more but there were other priorities such as color combo and ML that were far more important.
All things being the same or near so, yeah. But I’m not missing it at all.
Again, since you asked. I sure others will disagree.
I agree with you. I have HUD on other cars and it's not a feature that I must have. But I never use cruise control either so...

The mileage is a little bit on the high side, but that's no big deal. It comes with CPO warranty and unlimited miles. Somebody will jump on that!
Its actually already sold! I know the person that bought it. I showed him that one and he snagged it. Definitely a great pickup if you’re ok with the miles. And let’s be honest, on a GS, it’s got a ton of life left.

I agree! Hope the car makes your friend happy. He got one with just about everything...

Here are some pictures of mine, pre 2004 before I sold it. From the archives.

The only downside to that GS is that it most likely lived here in the rustbelt. Illinois roads are some of the worst in the nation along with the salty roads. The underside of my 14 RX looks terrible after 5 years of winter exposure. Of course it could've lived in a different part of the country, who knows?!

I wouldn't worry, it is surface rust/scale. It is not really harmful in modern cars, it won't eat through the metal and can be addressed if you really wanted to do it.

Unless it's a Dodge. It amazes me all the rusty later model domestics around here.

Isn't it missing blind spot monitoring/BSM? There is a blank on the set of buttons left of the steering wheel, I hate seeing blanks, my GS has all those buttons filled or maybe they just moved the BSM button to the screen on later models, they should at least do something with that ugly blank.

The rarest would be a GS Luxury with the brown leather and also night vision.

I think you're right - Blind Spot Monitoring is not on that car. That really surprises me! You could pretty much always count on every GS 350 having both Blind Spot Monitoring and Parking Assist options.

That car has BSM. I can see the radar cruise settings on the steering wheel, which means it has the safety suite, which includes BSM. On 2016+ models, BSM is turned off/on through the gauge cluster.
