wow nice score! these are so friggin hard to find. very low number produced. a whopping sum of 1,616 units produced. and in that color combo, with those options. you would never, ever see one again. smart move. youll love it!

fun fact of the day. the 460 is the rarest of all 3GS. really the rarest GS ever. 2011 being the rarest of the rare. only 23 ever made it off the assembly line that year....

Thanks! I knew the 460 was rare but really didn't put it together how rare it was with these options and interior. I hope to hold to it for a really long time.

I would. cause if you sell it, youll seriously regret it, and you wont even have a hope in hell of ever finding another one.

Definitely hold on and take good care of it! Will be one of those cars 20+ years down the road that people at import meets/shows will appreciate.

I was looking at an LS460 and the GS460. Does the 2008 GS460 have any recall after the valve spring replacement? Is that replacement a permanent fix?

Wow, gorgeous! Congrats.
I love your old wheels you had on your 300. Do you still have them?

Thanks man. Been a great car thus far. Unfortunately I had to sell the Vossen's. They were a square setup 10 inches all around and I really didn't want to use spacers anymore. I think I would have had even more clearance issues since the 06 had smaller brakes. I've always admired your car and your YouTube videos!

Thank you sir.

If there's one thing I couldn't get my head around with my Lexus.. was the vibrations when installing spacers. I tried everything, from using different sizes, types of hub-centric spacers to even proper torqueing. Nothing worked.

Never had issues with my BMW's or Mercs.
