Just to set the record straight. If you check out the post below you will see there was a 2008 AWD in Russia. (The only reason I read this thread so closely was because this post was the first reference I found to the AWD vibration problem that has plagued my ownership experience until recently).

And this post from wikipedia "In 2008, all-wheel drive versions of the non-hybrid LS 460 (USF45) and LS 460 L (USF46) models premiered at the Moscow International Motor Show.[110]"

Ahh my mistake. I always get those damn blue/black colors mixed up. I do like them though!. So how did that thing look in person? If it's had service history that good, there is no reason not to jump all over a good deal. Gotta love the markdowns for old age units.

 

Unless the OP is shopping for a CPO LS in Russia the fact that there was a 2008 AWD LS in Russia isn't going to do him much good. He's looking in the US...where there was no AWD LS until 2009

 

Correct 07-09 Black Sapphire Pearl and 2010-2012 Deep Sea Mica, check the thread below for colors etc.

I did end up getting it last night! It was CPO, but I extended it out to 6yrs/100k. So far it's great! I used the radar cruise last night on my way home. Got an average of ~27mpg and I'm still trying to find out all of the details about this car. I think the driver door speaker may need to be replaced though.

Thanks everyone for all of your help!

 

Congratulations!

 

congrats nice lex

 

Awesome! Congrats on the purchase. i don't think you'l be disappointed! Did that warranty extend the bumper to bumper out to 100k?

 

Not positive. I understood it as the the CPO being extended out 3 extra years. Does that sound right? I should have asked more questions, but I got there late and rushed through everything since I had my 2yr old with me.
