Default Rockin' a new (to me) LS460.

Bought from Park Place Lexus of Plano. 2008, 83,000 miles. All services done at Park Place Lexus, and the replacements for sticky interior panels are on order and will be in after the new year. They will be installed free of charge (i did not know that was a thing).

Its Noble Spinel Mica, w/Ivory interior. Other than being an LS, its nothing special. But it's special to me. Im not allowed to share the price i paid, but Parker Thomas said I stole it. It was 5 digits...barely.

Looking forward to many silent and trouble free miles!

Test drove that year of LS and it was the quietest and smoothest drive. Enjoy and always a pleasure to see someone passionate about their Lexus. Great color combo.

Congratulations, Josh. Do you still have the ES, or sell it/trade?

Matches nicely to the Ram . Our '08 is pushing close to 140K miles.... 3 years/50K miles later (and a hair over $1K in unexpected expenses), it's still chugging along nicely.

Great show! One of the nicer Lexus bodies, with a formal trunk and very clean/smooth dash.
Love the Christmas lights!

Very nice. I love my 430s and hated my 460, but I still think the 2007-2012 is the best looking LS body style. Just a very beautiful design.

Faulty O2 sensor and leaky fuel pump gaskets.

Good to know! The brake actuator issues have me a bit concerned. But we will burn that bridge when we get there.

Its not terrible, old lady owned, has a ding in drivers door and one in the trunk (looks like a garage door got it). Other than that, its pretty much like new.

Why did you not like the 460?
