Ten Years On, a Lexus GS F Still Brings About $47,000 at Auction

A 2016 Lexus GS F that stickered for $85,390 was averaging about $47,200 at auction in December 2025, more than half of what the decade-old V8 sedan cost new.

The wider used market is lower, with typical prices just under $39,000, or a little less than half the original sticker. Either way, the GS F has held up well for a 10-year-old performance sedan that Lexus stopped building in 2020.

How-To Geek’s look at the GS F, published on Yahoo Autos in December 2025, gave both figures, though it did not name a source for either. Reliability is the big reason. RepairPal rates the GS F 4 out of 5 for reliability, and its estimated maintenance cost of $499 a year is well below the $801 segment average. Kelley Blue Book owners rate it 4.7 overall and 4.8 for reliability, and 90% say they would recommend it. The writer added that some owners report passing 200,000 miles without major problems.

The GS F was a different kind of performance sedan from its rivals when it was new, trading outright power for a naturally aspirated V8 and a lower price than the BMW M5. How-To Geek compared it with these 2016 rivals, and the GS F’s 467-horsepower rating comes from Motor Authority.

2016 model	Original price	Horsepower
Lexus GS F	$85,390	467
BMW M5	$102,995	560
Cadillac CTS-V	$85,990	640
Mercedes-AMG C63 S	$76,715	503
Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat	$68,740	707

The engine is the heart of the car’s reputation. The 5.0-liter 2UR-GSE V8 was developed with Yamaha and makes 467 horsepower, and How-To Geek said the 4,034-pound sedan reaches 60 mph in under five seconds. It also called the engine "widely regarded as one of the best V8s ever built."

Lexus unveiled the GS F at the 2015 Detroit auto show and put it on sale in the U.S. in November 2015 as a 2016 model. It was discontinued along with the rest of the GS line after the 2020 model year, Motor Authority reported, with a 200-car GS 350 Black Line edition closing out the run.

The Toyota Report Take

The GS F was always the quiet choice next to the M5 and CTS-V, and that is exactly why it is aging so well. It was never the car you bought to win drag races, and its low running costs and strong owner ratings suggest most were treated like Lexuses rather than track toys. With Lexus no longer selling any V8 car, a clean GS F at roughly $39,000 to $47,000 looks like one of the smartest ways left to buy a naturally aspirated Lexus V8.
