I just picked up a 2008 LS600hl and am hoping to have it delivered within the next 2 weeks. It has 90k miles and has been serviced at Lexus since Day 1. All control arms and front shocks have been replaced within the past 6 months. Water pump (12 months ago) and valve springs (2 years ago) were also done.

It has the Executive Class Seating Package II, Pre-collision system and dynamic radar cruise control (no idea what either of these things do), rear power seats and headrests w/memory, rear seat entertainment system and 4-zone climate control. Not sure which of these come with the 600 and which are add-ons.

I had originally wanted black or white exterior, but I quickly fell in love with this interior and decided the grey exterior looks great.

Future plans will be tint, wheels and a drop.

I've been around for a long time on these boards, but this is my first LS600. I had an LS430 back in the day, as well as almost every other Lexus that's ever been made.

Here are a couple of pictures

 

Very NICE!!!

I had mine shipped and the wait is quite painful!

 

welcome. with all the repairs done, i would consider it new also...

 

Hey the nearly identical, but older brother to my car! I am looking at my future ride!

Congratulations on that great car, and be sure to post more pix!

 

Thank you guys for your kind words. They asked me today if I wanted a 24mo/24k mile warranty for $1750... It's not a Lexus warranty though. Seems to pretty much cover everything I could think of. Thoughts??

 

Those are the colors of my 460. Looks great in a 600...Congrats!

 

I am also in the process of buying 600 without exec package... Do u mind sharing how much you paid?

 

Hmm..I paid a little less than that for my extended CPO wrap warranty through Lexus to give me a 5yr/125k mile warranty

 

Thank you everyone - gets me more excited everytime I read this thread!

Did you get my PM man?

 

Congrats glad to see another 600!!!!!

 

Congrats Jonny.. funny i've been eying the 07/08 LS as well as i'm thinking of trading the Optima in... your previous thread was helpful on the different models and what to expect....

 

Congratulations Jonny..... great colors and very close to be Fully Equipt;-) ...but don't see the LKA button in Yours ...yet :-)

 

congrats on the LS! still got an SC? lol

 

Thank you guys! I'm patiently waiting for it to get here. Buying out of state and having it shipped is a serious PITA! I wanted to fly in and drive it home but they were going to require me to pay their state tax and then my own when I got back here.

Anyway, I ended up buying a 48k mile/48-month warranty through my credit union. It was $2200 and covers a great deal of what I had hoped. It isn't a Lexus warranty, but still a nice piece of mind.

Jadu - no sir. After owning over 20 SC's I am done with them. Too old for all that nonsense

 

I know the feeling waiting on the car to be shipped to you, congrats on your new 600!
