Price Paid for a GS-F (Lease or Purchase)
#1366
I know the market has gotten out of control, but I purchased a 16' with 46k miles for $45k earlier this year, $46k for that many miles seems high imo.
Has the full 60k maintenance been performed?

I think the F’s will continue to hold their value even in this inflated market due to its rarity. Buying a DD used Highland or something would make me nervous.

what the market is now and what it was earlier this year is a big difference. I’ve been thinking of selling my 2016 GSF with 37,000 for a few months and have had trade it offers of 52,000. 2 months ago KBB was say 50,200. Now it’s at 52,100.

Agreed, but in this case, 80k miles for $46k still seems inflated to me. Assuming you trade in and the dealer marks up the $52k to $57k, in my eyes thats still a much better deal for 37k miles. With that said, and to OP's question, I don't think these cars are a bad buy at higher mileage with how well IS-F's have held up and the Lexus brand as a whole (reliability wise). I plan to run mine into the ground and slowly make it sound more and more obnoxious.

"I love the CTS-V & have a build of car that in my file as well...having said that, it's at a different MSRP price point than the loaded GS F build that I have on file.
My GS F Build: $88,239 (ALL boxes ticked, except orange calipers)
My CTS-V Build: $99,680 (many boxes unticked- no UltraView, no premium paint, etc)
So the GS F offers a whole lot for more than $11,400 less MSRP, than the CTS-V. Yes, the GS F's a NA engine (which I sure prefer over the Bimmer or MB turbo cars), and while it lacks the supercharged 180hp gain of the CTS-V, for my desires I cannot say the GS F is lacking in wampum for a street sedan. Lets be honest, the only way any of us will be using all 640hp on the street will be to do one of two things: a nice trip downtown in cuffs, or perhaps something even more catastrophic...the GS F has 120 more HP than my wife's prior '07 Charger RT/RT..and that car had plenty for the street. IMHO, we have become absolutely jaded by the HP/Torque wars over the last 5-10 years.
When you start ticking boxes, at least in my mind, the GS F offers more value...and truthfully, we will likely have both cars in our garage so it really doesn't matter. But I still have to give the Lexus GS F its due here."
Thanks so much for your honest review-these would definitely help potential buyers to narrow their choices down. I wish we get more like these in these forums

Hi
I just got a GS-F, Atomic Silver with Black Interior
2017 Certified with 34K miles for 62k OTD
I did pay a bit more due the market conditions but I needed a car/ wanted it.
Coming from a 2010 Infiniti G37x with 245K miles
I had this thread bookmarked and your insight helped me out over the last year of looking.
Thank you

Found a listing that's too good to be true. Buyer beware.
https://www.autotempest.com/details/...60538166382894
2017 w/16k miles asking 55k.
Google'd the VIN and here is what I found...
https://en.bidfax.info/lexus/gs/3351...2ha002080.html
Salvage title vehicle sold on auction back in 2019 for $27k. Also what's even more odd is the mileage discrepancy. It now has 613 miles less than it did 2 years ago.
ETA: ha, so the vehicle is sold (of course). Dealer is just using it as a way to draw people in so they can sell them something else. Hate when dealers do this.

Hi everyone I’ve been lurking this thread for a while now and the time has come to get a new daily driver for the wife. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this 2016 GSF with the asking being $53,995.
Clean title and It appears to have 3 owners. Any help wound be greatly appreciated and hoping to join the GSF club like the rest of you.
