Default Switching Forums - My New LS460

Hi All,

After owning TWO RX 350s (2004 & 2008) I finally got my dream car. I found a certified pre-owned white/black 2012 LS460 with Mark Levinson and only 19,000 miles for a great price. The reasons I went searching for a 2012 were 1. The Grille, 2. No Mouse and 3. a 6 CD changer. I prefer the 2012 over the new ones. It's been a few weeks now and I am absolutely in love with this car. I look forward to learning more about her here.

Mike

Congrats! You have a beauty that you will love to drive and own. I like the '10 thru '12 much better than the newer models. Enjoy your LS.

Very nice, congrats. I wanted the white/Alabaster. Got the Alabaster but with the Deep Sea Mica.

Welcome

Man that is one sweet looking car. I totally agree with you on the 2012. It does all I need and more without another computer to mess with. I have a desktop in my office, laptops in the den and kitchen, and tablets abounding. In the car, let's ride!

Enjoy!

that has got to be my favorite color combo!! congratulations and welcome aboard!

the main difference as well is that you lose the HDD and people seem to think that the ML is quieter in the newer models?

That 2012 looks brand new, and has hardly been broken in. I love the look of the front end of the 2012.

Great way to buy this vehicle - 3 model years old so the first owner took the depreciation hit, and a CPO to boot. Love the black interior as well.

Congratulations!

Comparable models on cars.com are going for $55-57k. Did you do better than that?

That car looks new.

The white is a great color, but I had to go with the silver exterior and black interior myself. The white would've been my second option though if not red or green. Welcome to this side of the forum btw, you will get a ton of knowledge (like myself) from these experienced Lexus LS owners.

I paid $ 48,000 and that included brand new tires all around and a free first service along with all the other CPO benefits like the 100,000 mile warrantee, etc.
