Default Newbie - 2007 LS460L Noble Spinel Mica

All - My first post. Thanks to the forum, I finally felt comfortable and picked up one with 33K miles. It is Noble Spinel with Beige interior.

I am stepping up from ES350 and somewhat apprehensive driving a large car, but after two weeks, really enjoying the ride.

I hope to learn more from the forums and contribute to it as much as I can.

I do notice occasional mild deck cracking noise, that seem to occur on sunny days when my car is parked outside in sun and colder in the morning. I am still trying to establish the pattern. I have seen posts that talk about this happening on cold days.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the forum, don't be a stranger.

Not only did you get the perfect car, but you got the perfect year and the perfect color ......... and that's coming from a totally unbiased owner!

LOVE 'dat color, Noble Spinel Mica.

It's actually what sold Miss Barbie and me on ours (2008).

As others have stated ....... Not only is it "Classy" and becoming a vehicle like ours, but it's nice when ya git a lot of compliments as well.

Enjoy ...... GREAT looking ride.

Congrats! I like the Nobel Spine also. If your car is still under warrenty, just go to the dealer and ask them to do http://www.lambros.net/LexusTechInfo...L-NV011-07.pdf

I hear a cracking noise last winter, I think the noise is gone now after they did the fix.
