hey Scotty I just wanted to get your opinion on a 2013 Lexus gs350 will it be a good car to have .
try typing gs350 into the search box. Also check out car buying in the FAQ for more tips.
This 4th generation GS (2013-2020) has been fairly reliable, and 2013 being first year of that generation had very few issues. 2013-2015 rides firmer compared to 2016-2020 and the biggest issue for 2013 was battery dying (repeatedly) and there was also recall for the fuel pump. 2014 and newer did not have the battery drain issue. There was a TSB to address the battery (see one of the links below):

If you could step up to a 2014 model year that would be more ideal.
I like the GS. Nothing particularly wrong with them, they just weren't hot sellers.
If you have one in mind, get a mechanic to.check it out. If he/she says it's good to go, it could be a very good car. Just be not to overpay and make sure it doesn't have a salvage/rebuilt title.
A fine car as long as it checks out with a mechanic.
