Used Lexus GS: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Lexus GS from 2013 to 2020: what each year typically sells for (about $16,000 to $34,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2013–2020.
2013–2020 Lexus GS
A well-built, reliable sport sedan offered with a six, a hybrid or the high-performance GS F.
Years to target: 2013–2020. It has one of the most dependable records of any used car.

Worth knowing
- The mouse-style infotainment controller is awkward, and the hybrid gives up some trunk space for its battery.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the GS 350 F Sport: it adds adaptive suspension, sport seats and bigger brakes over the regular GS 350; 2017 and later models made automatic braking and adaptive cruise standard.
On the test drive
On a hybrid, ask for a battery health check. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
