Not to mentioned the seats and materials were excellent, they just need a new infotainment system.

Also those original IS300 with an I6 and 6MT are awesome! Incredibly hard to find these days. From what I hear a lot of people will buy those older I6 Lexus' mainly to use parts in the Supra so a lot have either been modded or destroyed. A clean one is like a needle in a haystack these days.
Interesting about the GS-F, I've never had a go myself. The LC500 was actually my first go in a car with that engine and it was good. You almost never see Lexus F cars around my area too
They are pretty much non-existent here as well. I've seen more LC's in the last year than GS-F's since they came out. I imagine its mainly because Lexus' clientele is not very interested in sport sedans. The RX, NX and ES are the big cash cows.
