She’s beautiful. And what a rare find with such low mileage.

- What are some of your first impressions of the car?
- Do you plan on getting a window tint?

Thank you! Best car I have ever owned and I have had a couple LS's and wife drives an RX.. Also have a '55 Cadillac with 22k original miles but this car is amazing!! Funny u asked about window tinting! My Chiropractor just told me it would look AWESOME with the windows tinted!!! My question would be is it difficult to see at night with windows tinted???? Never had it done before but agree it would look amazing! Also wonder why the rear view mirror was never replaced under warranty (and the guy bought Lexus Care) nor did he have the drip moldings taken care of????

I have 20% tint all around (minus the windshield), and it's great during the Houston summers, but it can be a bit difficult to see out of at night. To help with that, I put in some bright LED reverse lights. I'd say go with something like 35%, it's legal in most states, and it looks nice/subtle. Going too dark, like 5%, just looks cheap and tacky IMO.

Seems like yours didn’t come with factory tint ?

mine came with it and you can barely see into the rear seats.

I have a friend that was a Lexus mechanic for 8 years, he had it for a week after I got it and went through it from head to toe! He said this one is in like new condition since it was taken back to the Lexus dealer for service every 5,000 miles! He is in charge of the maintenance on this one, quite a friend!! Very fortunate!! Amazing car!

Since it's the 08 model, did you have all the recalls done?
