Probably a Tesla. That seems to be the common thing around here too. Everybody and their mothers and grandmothers drive Teslas nowadays. Yes I want one too.

That is an awesome color combination. As others have said, I have never seen the triple beam LED on a GS350 in person either. If I was in the market for a GS350, this is the one I would be buying.
By the way, looks like the car is now sold, I no longer see it available on the dealer website.

Maybe someone finally realized how rare that car is and bought it already.

I think the car looks pretty good in that color combination. Funny that to me it is showing up at 41,917 as its list price, which I think is a bit high for a soon to be 4 years old car. May be they bumped up the price based on the "market adjustment". I think 40k OTD will be a pretty good price.

Unless you never wash your clothes or clean yourself they’re super easy.
Twice to three times a year I vacuum my car with light interior and wipe everything down with a rag and a solution of water and baby soap (Yes, baby soap. Fancy chemicals in fancy bottles is just a hoax, baby soap works excellent!).
That’s it.
I should mention I drive it about 20k miles/year so it’s not like I never use it either.

If I had not bought my Model Y I would seriously consider buying the blue one or the one in cerritos with the HUD and triple beam lights.....both are nicely equipped. The blue one is literally across the nation as far as a car can get from me here in so cal but very cool find

Hard to get used to these prices of late.
This triple beam thing is like super coveted. I have them and after reading this thread I should really thank my stars.
I bought my 2020 brand new on Newyears eve thinking at $49,800 with 59k msrp it was a good value. Mostly nobody was buying this car then. Mine is mica grey, AWD, all options but trunk and HUD.
That color is nice. A bit too “fun” for me, but a Lovely car, likely a lease turn in.

My 2016 GS has the same color interior and all I do is occasional wipe down with damp cloth. Nothing beyond that. I used to have taupe interior cars in the past and the only time I ever had any issue with that interior was if I wore a brand new black or blue jeans, otherwise those were also very low maintenance to me. I guess it depends on how much the vehicle is been used. I typically put under 10k miles a year, so may be thats why my interior maintenance is low as well.

They tacked a $500 “undercoating “ on top of the $700 dealer fee I agreed to pay…will not pay the undercoat one. Should I?
‘I currently drive a 17 Gran Coupe and a 11 Cayenne so I may just upgrade the Cayenne.

700 dollars for dealer fee? What is that fee for though? Is it for processing and title and all? Or just for being a "pretty dealer"?

That's kinda of what dealers are back up to now with supply vs demand for new and used cars. Auto Nations for example charges $799 vs $700. At least the $500 is for something. Maybe not a bad idea if in a hard weather state.
From the start I always ask for a Buyers order, bill of sale with all the fees up front. That way you know exactly what all the charges are from the beginning. We just recently shopped prices on a new car. 2 Dealers were adding $3995 to $4595 on top of the MSRP sticker not including any other fees like the $799. The Dealers only had about 20 new cars in total including all the different models. I passed and will wait until the shortage goes away.
