New to me GS F 2016
Hi guys new here, was from gs 350 F sport 2015, and upgraded to this beast. its super fun to drive. the gas millage is insanely low though haha.
Btw the car came with vossens(i know they are 20s not knowing the size though, tires are appeared to be stretched front 255/30/20 rear is 285/30/20 i think the ratio could be different) and lowering springs? going to have this car checked up with independent shop tomorrow. luckily its from carvana so 7 day guaranteed atleast .

does your car happen to have about 45k miles? and some curb rash on the driver rear wheel? If so i also had that car delivered but declined it because it was making some nasty metal on metal grinding sounds in in the brakes. I told the delivery guy that no car should be approved to be dropped off like that with those sounds coming from it. it had disappeared and came back to carvana once before me so I wonder if they finally decided to bite the bullet and fix things.

right on, you would have noticed right off the bat, as soon as the car started rolling you could hear it and just got louder as you drove down the road so it sounds like they addressed it.

Congratulations on your new beast. "If you have 20's please check if the tires rub on the wheel wells and the arches on the quarter panels. It could happens if the wheel offsets are wrong. I had a similar issue with the Vossen 20's and had to replace the wheel well covers but replaced with the Vossen CV 10, 19"s now it looks awesome.

Congrats on the new pickup, I love the color! I saw this same exact one on Carvana, as well as a red one but both were pending purchase. There was also another black with red interior from Carvana but only listed on Autotrader & Carfax; unfortunately got picked up 2 days ago I believe.
I've been trying to make a decision but these cars just disappear because I'm too slow

Had the same problem buying my RC-F a few months ago. I swear Carvana is the worst, gone in 60 seconds lol!
Seems to have calmed down a bit now, but I would think that's because everything is twice as expensive now!
