Looks decent. Interior is a bit on the greasy side, particularly the steering wheel and dash. Probably a mix of natural wear/leather and the advertising dealer's "detailing" dept. slathering on layers of grease junk. I'd de-grease the daylights out of the interior and "matte" it up using professional german detailing products to bring it back to factory dry sheen. (my specialty or one of them anyway)
Another rare bird...2015 w/Luxury pkg, Cold weather pkg, Heads up display, Mark Levinson, Rear Heated Seats, Pwr Trunk, Radar Cruise Control (it looks like the car is wrapped or painted in a matte finish as its original color seems to be obsidian):
Purchased a 2013 just like this one this week for 24K. Luxury package with just about every feature available (minus night vision because it has LKA and the distracted driver detection system). It’s wild how many modern features are on this 2013 GS…front and rear parking sensors, BSM, LKA and rear heated seats are still surprisingly rare on 2021 luxury vehicles!
My 2012 GS250 has everything except for nightvision & luxury package.
kind of weird they skipped out on the luxury package as it has literally everything else, I wouldn't mind the wooden steering wheel...

I think you do have the luxury model? Must be a custom trim Sweden had made for your market. The Americans seemingly get base models which they can option luxury features in as they please like a European car. The rest of the world seems to get predetermined 'trim levels' with no options. The GS250 is the lowest of 3 levels yet you have the luxury semi aniline seats (I can tell by the number of buttons on the side).
You also have lane keep assist and radar cruise which are otherwise unavailable on the GS250 (here anyways). In fact the lane keep is only available on the top of the range 450H here. You got your fair share from the Lexus parts bin! Did you get the rear seat control panel?

I have assumed that I don't have luxury as it does not have the wood steering wheel.
But I believe I have all the rest thats in the luxury package.
Yes, I have the full rear seat controls with heated rear seats. Also heated & ventilated front seats, heated front window, automatic fullbeam, blind spot monitor, HUD, active suspension, rear curtains and all that. The only option I can think of that I don't have is the nightvision.
I can't see what I have as if I enter my VIN to Lexus website it just says that no such VIN even exists...
The wooden steering wheel looks nicer, but it is much less comfortable. I swapped mine for an all-leather wheel from a wreck, and it is much better on long trips.

Don't matter. Wooden steering wheel is like a wooden cane.
no better than plastic, but sure does look cool!
