For those of you that mentioned f sport, I really love how the f sport looks and I'd actually prefer it. The only reason why I chose non is cause another must have to me was the cooled seats feature. I actually don't mind the (non f)in certain colors though. Sure I could get a 15 but the price difference for CPO kinda put me over budget. Closest I found that had ML was about 4k over and it was black. I can't do two black cars especially as this one a DD.
What do u mean you chose non f sport because it has vented seats? My '16 200t F-Sport has vented seats and your initial post even mentioned the '16 fsport 200t you were looking at had them.

The 2014 F-Sport package did not have ventilated seats. It was included in the 2015 model and after.

Yes im aware of that. I was referring to previous posts about why don't I purchase a 14 fsport. The 16 200t fsport had vented/heated seats. Only reason why I wasn't all over that car is cause of no ML. I've talked myself in not settling for a car without ML but can live without fsport pkg

you cannot build your own f-sport with luxury package features. lexus doesn't do that sort of catering to its customers.

Ontario living costs will be like Tokyo and Singapore thus people can't have 2 Luxury cars unless they have a good business and real rich. Vancouver is identical to TOronto.
in the US most people are not rich, most people belong to the middle class. i wouldn't say that insurance here is inexpensive either. you are misinformed.

My exact thoughts when I read "most people in the US are rich" and "insurance is super cheap"
Well, I'm not rich and my insurance isn't super cheap either, idk about all you others lol.

+1, just depends on what you spend your money on. "Rich" people don't always buy expensive cars and vice versa. I'm not rich, but I wanted to treat myself this time. So, I have the Lexus.

To the OP, good choice on getting the 350 - vented seat or not, hope you enjoy driving it.

^+2

Most "Rich" ppl would invest in property or restate, not a car. I'm 23 and I bought myself a 50k Lexus. #FinancialMistake

Same, I just had to get myself SOMETHING for once lol. I enjoy every moment I get to drive the vehicle.
OP, congrats as well on the purchase.
