I recently had a 2004 Cadillac Escalade, but things went south and I didn't want to put the money in to repairing. I scooped up a gem at the local lexus dealership, a 2008 LS 460. This is a dream car for me.
I figured I could buy a newer model of a lower quality brand car, but I decided to go with a earlier year high quality vehicle. I am not disappointed. It is such a beautiful vehicle and is silky smooth. With only 133K miles, it's not even broken in yet, and I look forward to many many years of enjoyment. I am excited and thought I would share.

I think you made a wise choice.

Welcome to CL. Congrats and I wish you good luck with it!

And yes, without pics, it didn't happen.

Very nice color, clean too. You'll be amazed at all the features that aren't apparent if you read the owners manual. Congrats and welcome.

Very nice, I really like the interior on yours and the floor mats are a good fit. Are those weathertech? I just joined the LS460 club by buying a white 08 w/black interior and 129k on it last night after a motor failure in my 4runner. I'm already in love with this car, especially after discovering the heated steering wheel and actually cranking up the stereo on my way to work. Mine doesn't have sat/nav, but I have no complaints.

Yes, they are weathertech mats. Mine came with the Mark Levinson sound system, so the sound quality is pretty amazing. Your LS just beautiful.

Thank you much, I just picked it up last night. I've owned quite a few Toyotas and always wanted a Lexus, but this is my first. I had passed on an is300, is350, and rx350 over the years, but decided it was time to try one. I was torn between this or an ISF that was up in saint Louis, but decided to go with the LS due to its condition and extensive dealer service records. I gotta say, driving to work this morning was an absolute joy and I was blown away by how willing this car is to reach triple digits lol.
