Rich, I like the more definitive contrast of your interior colors, my Mercury Magnetic has a pretty much all bland silverish color scheme.

Yes Thank you. I like the contrast as well. I have owned several Cadillacs and this 11 year old car beats em all.

Rich, if you don't mind my asking, how does the LS compare to the Cadillacs you've driven - whatever insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Cad vs Lexus

I would say the only Cadillac that I had that compares favorably is the 02 Eldorado for speed and the Deville DTS for comfort and speed. I have not had a new Cadillac, meaning last 8 years

The newer CTS probably compares. I did have a fully loaded Buick LaCrosse and it is close as well, but not fully.

The Buick is a great car.

Also

The DTS being a touring model, has a great suspension. For the money the Buick LaCrosse loaded is a better car than the Cadillac. I had a 2013 LaCrosse and it is only equal to the 07 Lexus 460 LS.

Lexus of Omaha appear to get some nice used (sorry, pre-owned) cars!

It's Warren Buffett's neighbors trading their cars. The dealership probably accepts Berkshire Hathaway stock as payment.

Buffett

That is probably true, there is a lot of Berkshire Stock here, and lots of millionaires.

Nice Telios Wheels. I have those and get compliments often. I prefer the 5 star rim but that would mean a larger tire and I just got new tires. Enjoy the car. It looks great.
