Default Brand New 2008 GS 350 RWD

I have a new Lexus GS 350 RWD with NAV, ML and XM for sale. The car has less than 600 miles on the odometer. It is starfire white/cashmere. I have
20" rims by MRR as an option with the car (not required). The car is mint, no defects and no issues. The reason I am selling is the driver's seat causes me SEVERE back pain due to my bad back. I can't sit in the seat for more than 5 minutes without hurting. I don't want to sell the car but have no choice.

Price: $44,500 without the MRR wheels. For an additional $600 I will sell the wheels as wells (no tires on the MRR wheels). The car has an MSRP of $52,000 and the wheels cost $1400. This is a great deal and can't be beat.

My location is Daytona Beach, Florida. I am 45 minutes from Orlando International and 1 hour from Jacksonville by car. Thank you for looking at the car. It truly would not be for sale if it had better seats but with my bad back I can't tolerate driving it. If you have a history of back pain/problems this is NOT the car for you. Otherwise, it is the nicest vehicle I have ever owned.

You sure you've tried adjusting everything? My back is screwed and i test drove the 07 GS350 before and I'm in the most comfy seat I've been in a car before imo... much better than our 06 330xi

Maybe you are right. The problem is my back is acting up a lot these days. My wife wants me to keep the car for 3-4 more months and give the seat a chance. I thought that a quick sale would just cut my losses. But, I may keep it for 90-120 days more depending on my offers. I figure my GS will still be worth decent dollars even with 5,000 miles on it.

The 20" wheels really make the car. I can't imagine owning it without them.

If I get my asking price then I sell. If I don't I keep it and sell it for little less down the road if needed.

Maybe you should try drving with the OEM 18s (did you get 18s?) for awhile. A more "cushiony" ride might help with the back. When the back is no longer acting up, you can swap the 20s back on.

Congrats....(or maybe not? )

Now go for EXTENDED test drives... tell the dealers your problematic back and see if they'll allow for you to take it longer.... Where I live before they only allow around the block kinda thing that can only test straights and not even highways despite there's 3 highways just beside them....

Good luck on your search. BTW I've took the back pain pills and it's much better, but somehow I got stomach ache.
