Default SilverStar Edition LS460? ? ?

So, I was looking around on eBay, and I saw something interesting and I didn't know what it was:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...spagenameZWDVW

It's $29,875 for the option, but it looks like it's wheels and brakes? Do you guys know what it is?

The brakes are stock, they are just painted red with "Lexus" decals. The car has the Wald kit with some unknown rear spoiler. Not sure about the wheels but for someone to pay $100K for that car is insane

Wow!!! Unbelievable, is all I can say. Nobody in their right mind would pay that kind of money for this car. In addition to that, it's already been titled and therefore sold as used.

Ah, my local dealer. The one that couldn't get me the LS600hL.

Ah......

They had another LS460 with a hideous front grill replacement a few months ago. Looked like a chain link fence on the front of a Lexus. Looked like the fence was used to swirl up the finish also. My friends and I laughed and left.

I feel like telling this guy that if he'd back away a little, he'd get much more flattering pictures of his over-priced car. Standing too close distorts the lines of the car, making it look bulbous and bloated.

Like, stand back and use a little telephoto ... if your cheap camera has one.

I didn't notice the ML option on the sticker. Also, if you look at the rear door panels, there is no tweeter. My 2007 SWB has separate woofers and tweeters on each of the rear doors. Maybe Lexus changed it up for 2008

That console is the Mark Levinson setup... The standard head unit looks very much different.

do you have a picture of a car with nav and no ML? i wonder how it looks different.

looking at the picture, if a car is ML equipped, in the black gloss piece in the center, it says mark levinson


but i don't see it in this car
https://portal.liquidmotors.com/portal/als/listing_gallery.aspx?DealerName=Lexus%20of%20Clearwater&ItemID=5632850&Phone=800-318-4539&Picture='http://photos.liquidmotors.com/Processed/Lexus_of_Clearwater/JTHBL46F185073958-5632850/JTHBL46F185073958_030_LG.jpg'

moreover, as bsims_01 stated, ML equipped ls460 has separate tweeters in the back seat


this obviously don't
https://portal.liquidmotors.com/portal/als/listing_gallery.aspx?DealerName=Lexus%20of%20Clearwater&ItemID=5632850&Phone=800-318-4539&Picture='http://photos.liquidmotors.com/Processed/Lexus_of_Clearwater/JTHBL46F185073958-5632850/JTHBL46F185073958_030_LG.jpg'

mark levinson only has ONE setup for the entire ls460 lineup
http://www.marklevinsonlexus.com/overview.asp?model=ls

so they all look the same and it does have a separate tweeter for rear door

and of course, ML is definitely an option on swb ls460, but it's not on the sticker

You know...maybe it doesn't have the ML. Funny, it lists this as one of the options, and then right above where it lists the ML option being on the car, it says the car has a 10 speaker system. Obviously, something is off...haha.
