Default New member and New owner of a 06 UL

Wassup Lexus fam! I'm new to the forum and today I just purchased a pretty mint 2006 Ultra Luxury, which is also my very first purchased vehicle at 22. After a long year of being patient, let downs, I narrowed it down to getting an Ultra Luxury or GS350 Fsport, found the LS and jumped on it! Tomorrow my journey begins with it when I go back to pick it up for delivery, and I can't wait to show it to you guys and the plans I have in store, the advice you current owners have to offer me and just general car talk with each other!

Thank you! It's a 2006 Ultra Luxury. Silver exterior/ black interior. About 75k miles on the odometer, 2 owners, father and son. The car was BABIED and just kept up to damn near pristine condition. The interior is near pristine except the plastic on the navigation unit has a little wear and the wood trim on the steering wheel is cracked, but usual for a car that age. Dude even kept the tag on the seat on how to care the leather. Everything works flawlessly. I will definitely show pictures when I get it and clean her up when I get back. I'm a professional detailer so I gotta make sure I get her gleaming and protected when she gets home 😎.

Thanks! I honestly don't know where to begin. But I found this on Craiglist last Monday. Last Monday I went to go check out another UL, except it was a total Trainwreck smdh, A long and hilarious story lls. So I went home disappointed and just started browsing again and found this one, got in contact with the owner and we met up today and that's all she wrote. I've had multiple failed attempts with trying to find my perfect car for me. I'm a huge Big body sedan dude so I love S Class, LS and 7 Series etc. I wanted LS600hl, but kept hesitating about the battery, LS460L, but could never find the Executive package, even though this a mid size but a 15 GS350 F Sport AWD Sports Crafted line with black and red interior (black and red is my favorite color way), found one near me, wanted to get it for my birthday back in September, but it sold 2 weeks before it smdh and the LS430 UL, took me the longest but finally got it. My parents and girl friend always told me to be patient and that my perfect car is coming, and even though I wanted to quit and give up, I didn't and now I'm just waiting to bring my baby home. Sorry for the long reply lls just wanted to give you almost the complete back story of my car searching. What LS model do you own?

Thanks man, I'm enjoying the ride and experience. She floats and drives so elegant but when you put your foot down it moves with force. Love it.

Where at? And is it a dealership or private owner?

Thanks man! And yes sir will most definitely show you guys, I managed to prep it for a full detail at work but got busy after so it just needs to be polished, interior, and fitted with Angel Wax enigma on the paint with Bead Maker to top it off.
