Default How did I do?..About to pick up 2013 LS460

Hope everyone is doing well.

I just put down a deposit on a 2013 SWB LS460 with 40k miles for $27k + tax. Pearl white on parchment. Clean car fax and service history is top notch. Oil changes every 3k miles. Zero wear on the interior Loaded to the gills minus exec seating and adaptive cruise.

How do you think I did? I'm super exited to pick it up in a week.

I have not driven the car. What should I be looking for? Are there any tell tale signs of issues?

Test drive and make sure the LS does not lean left or right. Air suspension may go out and it's not cheap to replace. Also check the recirculate button to make sure it's working. When non-Lexus techs replace the cabin filter, they don't push recirculate button and may break the servo arm for blower. I was looking at 2015 LS460 20k miles with the same options like yours but I passed it due to air suspension cost.

Here is my 2016

Nice color!

How do you like the LEDs? Is there is big diff from the standard Xenon?

I really didn’t have the LS on my radar. Was looking at a 14-15 S550 or a 7 but couldn’t stomach the repair bills.

I got the ULP and I’m surprised that the rear seats have massaging seats but the fronts driver/passenger does not. Kinda disappointed.

That's one rare SWB. Most of those options are generally on the LWB. Congrats and enjoy your car.

A very nice car. Consider an extended warranty.

what warranty do you recommend? I’m not buying from a Lexus dealer.
