In the UK there are only 62 GS-F's and i have a back one with orange calibers and red interior. The engine is a masterpiece of engineering. Also being very rare it gets lots of attention.
I own one of the aforementioned 62 UK GSFs and the analogue clock is one of my favourite bits - you Millennial you! 😂. As regards the mouse...once used to it (takes quite a few days rather than hours), it's a non issue (I much prefer it to the touchscreen in my wife's car). Make sure you adjust the feedback to suite yourself and I think you'll find you can navigate with it as quickly as any other method. Had my 2017 3.5 years and still have no intention of parting with it.
Lol I have a picture/ video of my GSF next to your GSF when it was at the AutoLenders PA store… was surprised to see another one as I’m only GSF in my area
That's a very nice Lexus. 👌👍 Would love to have one, but in my country, it's almost impossible to afford driving any V8 car. They are taxed to the extreme, and so are gas prices in the Netherlands. I'll have to stick to my 4 banger Accord for now. 😢
Damn man good purchase, I got a 2013 ls 460 last Monday from auto lenders, I'm surprised I didn't see this one come up on the website. 360 hp feels like plenty I can't imagine what another 100 would be like
Congrats on your purchase, just keep us update on how the RA Brembo pads work out. Yes save you a few click my comment got pinned on the car care nut GSF video. FYI correction, the front caliper is a 6 piston and rear is 4 piston caliper. I own the same car but mine is in Matador Red Mica.
Very nice! I’ve had my 2017 for almost a year now. Only upgrades so far RR Racing Bazooka catback, RR oil/air separator and carbon fiber steering wheel. Exhaust is definitely a must for this car!
@@SEsGarage oh I love it! Get compliments all the time on how good it sounds. It’s funny the look people give when they realize it’s no ordinary Lexus!😂
The cabin space is pretty close. Obviously the transmission tunnel is a bit bigger with the GS because it’s rear wheel drive. The backseats are actually pretty roomy to my kids car seats fit back there with ease.
@@jasonhayman9521 it's still has Toyota components but you have to understand that with nicer cars nicer things are used and nicer things tend to cost more
@@TYPICALTRYHARD_ lol you should look up who makes the parts that Lamborghini uses. Many "nice" cars use parts from other companies. For example the Murcielago used Ford blinkers.
I also love Toyota/Lexus. I got me my IS500 however, I am too attached to my Camry that I couldn't let her go. So I have my daily and the daily for the daily lol
I call the GS-F my V8 Camry hahaha. It’s really on a whole different level than the TRD Camry. Interior is leagues ahead despite being a few years behind. The sound system is absolutely amazing. Driving experience is also on a whole different level. It’s so much more than just the engine
Congrats. The ride is a little too rough and there's not enough torque for me as a daily car. It's sitting in my garage most of the time. If you want a super reliable and practical sedan that drives great and sounds great for 50-60k, this is the one to get.
That's surprising about the ride. The sport and sport+ modes would give a firm ride (perhaps too firm for everyday use). But in standard mode, it shouldn't be much different than a regular GS. Tires are everything when it comes to ride quality. Also check your inflation. Just a pound too much in a tire as thin as these can make a big difference. I've even noticed that in my GS 350.
Great choice, love the V8 Lexus F family. I agree with you, the Germans make great cars but their cars lack the reliability durability & dependability of a Toyota. I’ve owned Toyotas since I got my 1st car when I was 18, I’m 50 now
attorney owned Panamera Turbo, “Front control arms made of dust” he told me. As a 911 and GSF driver, the running costs of Panamera are waaayy higher than GSF, and the GSF motor sounds better. Panamera V8 GTS sounds incredible and better than turbo big brother
Yes! Thats already been addressed, you can see what we had to do to rectify that issue in my videos! I did a whole video on tpms replacement and programming
So they’re “supposed” to be hard to find. Somehow I ended up with 2 to pick from within a 50 mile radius and this just happened to be the better car. This has “minor damage” listed on the carfax but no collision if that makes sense. And I paid roughly 55k before taxes tags and motor vehicle.
@@SEsGarage I thought you can find one for a much better deal at this age. I just looked on like an I saw one in my city a 2020 one with 33k miles for $59,990 that seems like a much better deal because it’s much newer.
@@Inrussian I purchased mine over the summer while used car prices were still high-but these cars hold their value extremely well. A quick search on autotempest is showing 2016’s still being listed for around 50k with similar mileage to mine.
@@SEsGarage prices in ur state might be a little higher and might have dropped over summer. But when I did a quick search yesterday just for $5k more it’s a 2020. If I decide to get one I want the newer one 2020. Do you know is there any updates on the 2020? If you don’t mind me asking did ur insurance go up and how much is ur property taxes on it now? Do you only have to put premium gas in it?
@@Inrussian the only updates to my knowledge is the adaptive suspension (which I didn’t want because I wanted to modify mine) they updated the cruise control to be fully adaptive. And I believe they added the brake hold feature to hold the vehicle at stop lights without having to press the brake pedal. There may be a few I’m missing but all in all they didn’t change them much throughout the production run. In NJ we don’t pay property taxes on vehicles, and I only run premium
@@richardtrd7145yes there were 3 in jersey. There was a 2019 in Woodbridge (that I went to see) that wasn’t in the best shape. Ton of front lip damage and the interior was pretty beat. There was this one, and the 80k one at a BMW dealer. I chose to pass on the 80k car because I wanted a lower mileage one
@@richardtrd7145 how was your experience at Woodbridge ford? I found the sales manager there to be very arrogant. He refused to even give me numbers when I told him I wasn’t ready to pull the trigger the same day
Not that it really matters… but with the inflation rate these last few years, you actually paid $40,082 for your Camry in todays money. So it cost you $9,000 to drive it for 2.5 years.
I own a GS F V8 and love it. BTW nothing ever breaks.
is it for sale ??
@@Faris.khalid1 I can’t sell it !

Talk about rare! Here in the states, I’ve only seen one in person on the road prior to being in the market for one!
Congratulations! I just picked one up about a month ago and i have zero regrets

Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing!
Man the 3.3 is one of the smoothest running V6 engines I’ve even driven. Bar none!
@@SEsGarageits insane
My dad have one with 345k miles
In Saudi Arabia extremely hot weather and no maintenance other then oil😂 and it’s still smoth
You made a chess move on this purchase! Good sacrifice for more power! Very nice vehicle and welcome to the Lexus Fam!
Thanks man!
Lol I have a picture/ video of my GSF next to your GSF when it was at the AutoLenders PA store… was surprised to see another one as I’m only GSF in my area
Do share!
Are you in the community F group on FB? Ofc man, I’ll share it!! Congrats
@@DahMexico I am! We’re also on instagram as well
Nice! I’ll find ya on there
Sweet! Congratulations! Lexus is the best! Brought a IS 300 in ‘21. Not v8 but I’m happy. 😊
Congrats! I have an RCF but I'd love to have one of these too.
If I didn’t have 3 young kids the rcf would’ve been my go to!
That's a very nice Lexus. 👌👍

Cant blame you, only cars id trade my TRD for are the F cars, oh and the LC500 haha
I was looking at that one on car gurus and they had one at Thompson Lexus. both sold quick. I'm amazed this video popped up in my suggestions
When I was looking for one, there were only 10 for sale in the country on autotempest! Consider subscribing we have BIG plans for this car!
Very nice! I’ve had my 2017 for almost a year now. Only upgrades so far RR Racing Bazooka catback, RR oil/air separator and carbon fiber steering wheel. Exhaust is definitely a must for this car!
How do you like the exhaust?! I’m on the fence on if I want a valved exhaust or not. I’ve been eyeing up the Greddy
@@SEsGarage oh I love it! Get compliments all the time on how good it sounds. It’s funny the look people give when they realize it’s no ordinary Lexus!😂
@@sirchan1576 do you find yourself driving more with the valves open or closed?
@@SEsGarage they stay open. I’m addicted to the sound!😂
I have considered doing this as well.... love that GSF. How do you compare the cabin space vs the Camry? How is the fuel consumption?
The cabin space is pretty close. Obviously the transmission tunnel is a bit bigger with the GS because it’s rear wheel drive. The backseats are actually pretty roomy to my kids car seats fit back there with ease.
Best v8 you can get definitely if you want it for a long time dream car is the lc500 luv that coupe
Buddy of mine owns a gsf it's realiable but when something breaks you're forking up the big bucks
The good thing is nothing breaks on those cars just needs your normal maintenance done that’s it 💪🏻
Not really. At the end of the day its a Toyota...and thats a good thing.
Not true. My2017 has have no issues, and maintenance is reasonable.

Congratulations bro the Welcome to the "F" family
Thanks man! Excited to be a part of it!
Hella yea man this is beautiful and yes she'll get over it
You need to add two years of 10%+ inflation to your losses on the camry but still an amazing win!
Yeah can’t forget about that. What a world we live in

For the money you can get a used turbo Panamera that will blow this car away in every way.

Already in the works ;)
Camry TRD goodbye 😢💔 ...
Congrats bro hell of a car,hows the ride quality as a daily
It’s great! Totally tame and smooth as butter during normal driving, and an absolute monster when you hit the gas
@@SEsGarage sounds like a perfect car for everything.enjoy❤️
