Last night I bought a 2006 black on black
GS 430. It has 23,000 miles on it and I am very excited. I was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Malibu so as you could imagine I am totally blown away with the differences between the 2. I have a couple of questions for anyone that can help.
1. The Saab dealership I bought it from said that even though I did not by it from a Lexus dealership I could get free car washes from the Lexus dealership. Is this true?
2. I remeber reading posts that say that you can get your brake pads changed if they are dusting to much and they may still be covered by warranty. If true would I still be under that warranty?
3. Anyone know of a good tinting place up in the Chicago area and how much should I expect to pay? Also what is the darkest I can go and still be legal. Thanks for any input?

1) Depending on the dealership and their policy, generally complimentary car washes are given to those who purchased their car from that particular Lexus dealership. Some dealers are generous to give free washes to earn your business, you may want to check your local Lexus dealers.
2) As long as you are in your basic warranty period 4yr/50k miles, you should be able to address the low dusting brake pad issue to your local Lexus dealership visit.
Good luck and congrats!

Congrats and welcome. I am a new member with a recently purchased black on black GS430 as well. I could not be happier with the car and I think we will have many happy miles with our cars. I am glad you raised the brake dust issue. I am going to see if my dealer will install the low dust pads on mine.
