Default I traded my GS460 for a LS460L...

Hey, at least it wasn't for an Audi (sorry G Man )

Quick Specs
2008 Smoky/Black LS460L Rear Seat Package/Air Susp/Luxury/ML/PCS/AVS...etc and DRILLED FRONT PLATE



gotta love the big bow!



Big thanks to Tommy (Lexus GS3) Henry (rominl) for helping out in the whole process!



*actually, just kidding, I still have the GS, we just got this for my dad's 60th birthday

Hey, Kev, nice color choice. I wonder whose car it reminds me of...?

If the drilled holes bother you that much, we can make an even trade with my car. I can guarantee you a non-drilled bumper.

Hmmm, I think you're sand-bagging. All 08 LS's have 4k dealer cash from Lexus . . .

As far as I know, that cash rebate ended in sept, they said I was too late for it, but it's okay, we were happy with our deals, we did get it below our budget

we already got it tinted the next day

I'm pretty sure the LS dealer cash ended in October.

It's not that big a deal to me since we have no LS's to sell.
