I've had it, dumped my ride and bought a fancy 4X4...
And here it is!
Delivered today, it meets my requirements namely, 4WD, 19" Wheels, color I really wanted to begin with a year ago, LWB, APGS & other frivolous niceties. Got a screaming deal, former owner bought it, drove it for about 800 miles, thought it was to big for him and went for a GS instead, took a $50K hit on it (ouch). Dealer was highly motivated as it was too many $$$ sitting on their LOC, and it was the last day of the month. I'm sworn to secrecy on the actual amounts, so please don't ask...

Oh, wow!!! No wonder you changed your avatar to the LS 600h L, and it says "shopping" -- indeed!!! And nice thread title btw, I was fooled...
Glad you got the color you originally wanted, and a good deal, not to mention the AWD. Congrats!!!

This is the best I can do for now as it is raining in the Northwest this week. I'll have better ones later. As Andrew has guessed, it is Smoky Granite or as they say in French, "Granite Fumé". The interior is as my previous car (the one behind it), Black.
Really pleased with this acquisition, really pleased...

Yes, that's JP Lexus in NV. Jimmy, btw just bought(?), yes bought a Starfire Pearl. He tested one last fall, but only decided recently to add the 600 to his collection. It appears he has a penchant for white and psychedelic cars (John Lennon's Rolls).

I can't even imagine taking a $50k hit on a car. I just don't understand how you would not be able to judge the size of the car when buying it. Also is having a little bigger car really worth a $50k loss?
By the way guys, if you do the math then this car cost approximately the same as a 460l or about $70k. Am I right Burnaby? You can tell us
