Not sure what color interiors you have had on your other vehicles. Light color interiors are a lot of work.

That's an incredibly rare find. Not only the color combination, but that's only about the third RWD model that I have seen with the triple LED headlights. If I wanted the ultrasonic blue, I'd be all over that car.

I think for RWD to have triple beam, it has to be custom ordered. Out of the gazillion RWDs here in Cali I haven't seen one with triple beam. Same with HUD, dealer spec'd GS RWDs have no HUD either, including mine.

ES on the other hand, most loaded FSport comes with triple beam and HUD and often with power trunk but no S+ option. Weird... Why can't they just build it with everything?!

Too much combo color wise going on for me. Blue car, Tan/Orange interior, Black interior door and panels, Grey wheels, Red painted Brake calipers. Not my cup of Tea. But that is a very nice packaged car with HUD, Triple Bean LED's, rare color combo. If those colors appeal to you dont wait. Likely won't be available long.

That price is kinda high even though it's a CPO.

I'd take this 2017 Luxury with triple beam and HUD instead if I was shopping for a GS (try to knock it down to 35k maybe)

I love this color combo and think it is a decent deal.

Looks like they’ve raised the price $2,000 since you took this screenshot. Maybe not that great a deal at $41,917.

@Chaos236 thats a super rare find - ultrasonic blue mica wasn't available until the 2016+ refresh and to get one with a Flaxen interior is even more rare. The triple beams sweeten the deal. It will turn heads because that color is very eye catching in person. I've only see one ultrasonic blue mica in person on a GS (it was a GS F). The finish was outstanding.

Black interior, or exterior is a immediate no for me. To each his own.

I think those orange calipers are also an option for the 350. It looks like the previous owner spec'd it out to the max, in which case it's a very rare find. Buy it now!!!!!!

Girlfriend runs a bank and checked retail book value on our 18 GS and 14 RX. The GS is $49k and the RX is $27k. I'm sure glad we're not in the market for a car. Last I checked several months back a 14 RX was averaging a market price in the high teens.

Wonder what made the previous seller part with this GS... and wonder what he replaced it with? He certainly didn't get a new GS....

Very sweet ride.
I would go for it if I was in the market for a RWD GS.

Good Luck!
