as far as mods, I still have the Vossens in my garage ready to go on the next one...some $2 interior LED lights, Tanabe's that stayed on the car, plastidipped grill, tinted windows and that was it...mod list was small but made a huge change in car appearance.
...so, does it still seem weird to you boss?

Moving on up to LWB with air susp and every option possible except for exec seating. With the equity I had in my 07, I can easily step into something newer with even more options, especially air susp, dynamic cruise and rear DVD system...I can't drop $80K+ for the new one whenver that comes out. I buy my cars used but like new to save on depreciation, just keepin it real...military reserve salary mane

See, thats just the thing. I can't think of buying one until they have been out at least 3-4 years..but the money savings is huge, especially buying through a broker like I did for my 07 I just sold. So, I'll ride out on this current LS gen and hope I like the new body style. The new ES's are very nice and the GS's are growing on me..not quite doing it for me just yet exterior wise..so I hope the new LS is just so revolutionary, that I can make a move to that when the time comes...I sold mine now because the market is strong for them and i wanted to capitalize on all that equity I had in it while values were high..based on what i paid and what it sold for..I only lost about $3500 of value over the past 22 months..not bad if you ask me ![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Smart man...do the same for the LWB and sell it when the new body style depreciate in value.

Amen to that..i was hoping you would chime in lol....keep in mind, my commute went from 60 miles round trip to about 15 miles..so thats when I picked up the 22s...otherwise, I probably would of kept rollin on 20s!..well..maybe...CL is great and also very destructive...to wallets and bank accounts that is! Learned alot and very inspired by this car's potential and I hope to continue to share, learn and contribute with my next LS project very very soon. And for the record, I still think some 20s look good on this car ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Thanks man..yeah, I have never bought a brand new car in my life. Mainly because I couldn't justify the cost while I was pinching pennies...I bought my first car as a young Air Force Airman with two stripes living in the dorms and eating at the chow hall every day..a 1997 Honda Accord LX in 1998..I felt like a boss while saving about $6K from what my friend paid for their new 1997 lol..he was a Staff Sgt with 4 stripes so he had mad loot hahaha, but boy was he salty when he found out how much I paid! OSU will appreciate that last sentence haha..anyway, the cost savings are huge and with the LS being so reliable, getting a non CPO LS isn't that big of a risk..at least not with the LS I had. With the extended warranty backed by my Credit Union, I really felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I think some folks just like the new new aspect and have the capital to spend on a new car, which is cool... but I just refuse to pay double for something..literally the case for me. I have helped out a good number of friends in showing them the light on the used car world..they are literally driving the cars they wanted by getting over the fact they are not the first ones to have it and not settling...but I am not hatin' on folks who buy new, just not my style...for now anyway..wifey likes trips to foreign lands..so I needs the extra chedda haha
