LOL, I know exactly what you mean. I saw a riced out IS 250 a few weeks ago and was just shaking my head.

It feels like a more mature demographic owns GS’s.
I’m 23 and I definitely didn’t want to be a part of the IS crew, wanted something more “mature” and luxurious.

They're affordable now. I bought my car when it had a $58k+ price tag. I remember the same happened with the 2GS. Suddenly the civic boys started buying GS's when they became affordable and tried to mod them like civics. You'll likely see the same with the 13-15, eventually leading into the 16+'s when they start to become dirt cheap.

just a matter of time. All to do with the price point.

Gem! I would love a 450h right now with gas prices. I wanted one when I was looking but I don’t think they made the F Sport 450h’s from 13-15, which were the years I was looking at. Really wanted an F Sport so just went with the 350.

I need to drive a 450h one of these days.

That car is begging for a set of new wheels.

The last 2 I saw recently were black F-Sports driven by senior citizens, go figure?!

@bclexus I actually really like those wheels on Liquid Platinum!

I'd probably add 15mm/20mm spacers all around and that's it

The 450h was super rare in general, but in 2015, Lexus made a handful of them with the F-Sport package available here in the US. Here are a few:

Makes sense. I never saw any when looking. I wanted Liquid Platinum or Nebula Grey though so my odds were even slimmer lol.

Negative, I kept it. Drives too nice and people were lowballing me too much.

Might consider selling for a good offer though.

Probably because of mileage, people value it too much

With its rarity and it’s options I feel like it won’t be valued correctly unless it’s a specific buyer looking for it
