Default My 08 LS got a lot of attention at the dealer today

So I went to my local lexus dealer with my 08 Black LS460 today to initiate the interior panel warranty. In order to pull into the service area you honk your horn at the door and they open it which obviously also gets the attention of all of the sales guys that can see through the window. I Literally had 4 sales guys come out and check out my car asking me about my wheels and how many miles it has on her etc. They all said it was one of the nicest 4th gens they have scene in years. Nothing like Lexus Black and Chrome with Tan Interior. Sales manager offered to buy it from me for himself I said sorry, its not for sale (although I would trade it in for a 2011-12 LWB with executive package). It was a good feeling.

It does look amazingly clean for a car over ten years old!

Thanks, I don't park near anyone and use F11-top coat. Works excellent on Black cars.

They look beautiful. I’m looking at eBay and Craigslist to find them!

They'd rather make a sale over making you smile . Your car does look in showroom condition

Honestly, no noticeable difference. They feel just as good as the 18's.
