Maybe a LS600h L AWD for your next Lexus?

Last summer I had a similar rear ender to my then seven month old A7. I got it fixed...two weeks in the shop and a bad rental car experience. Two months later the exact same thing happened. Long story, but I traded for a new A7 then.

A month ago my wife hit a curb in our GS and tore up the front bumper pretty badly. I just made a deal yesterday to trade it for a new GX460. In fairness, we had been looking at new SUVs for her already anyway. But it's saving me taking the car to the shop as I made the deal "as is"

Good luck with yours.

Gets better I spoke with the collision center and the exhaust is damaged and he said there is significant damage after they took off the bumper. I'm just really don't know now, all I can do is wait, and no expected completion date yet.

I'm going to attempt the retro fit once the weather gets warmer. It looks just like a straight bolt on. What I'd really like is for Tom's to step up with something ala IS F!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it the same as any F Sport variant?

Yes the same but the color is black gloss vs the dark graphite the F-sport comes with.

Sucks to hear that it's more than just the bumper. Hopefully everything gets fixed up quickly and either you enjoy driving it again or move on to another car.

Ugh! Sorry man, that really sucks.

C'mon over and get that LS! I love my LS, but what I do miss is the 4GS community. Some good guys over in the LS460 forum but most of them have older ones, and there are only 2-3 of us that have the 2013+.

its weird, I don't know whay but some cars are total magnets for wrecks no matter who is behind the wheel. I know someone that had a chevy caprice that was hit 5 times! I know someone that had a 4runner that flipped 3 times, I knew someone with a newer Camaro and got into 6 wrecks that were not his fault, reason I say "knew" is because he didn't survive the 6th

if you get hit again, id run man and get a different one.

Damn that sucks, yeah The LS they had was a good deal but if I'm going to pay that money I should get what I like. So I'm waiting on a white LS.
