Default New Owner of an 06 LS

Just signed up and wanted to thank everyone for all of their posts. I read countless posts before purchasing my 06 LS ML-BlueOnyx/Ash 64K. Originally, I thought I wanted a 2011 Cadillac-but you guys helped convincedme that the 06 LS was a good decision. Hope to continue learning about my LS and be a contributing member. Thanks again.

I don't think there is an app for it, but there is a mobile version of Club Lexus if you use the Safari browser on your iPhone.

Congratulations and welcome to CL. The car itself will show you what a brilliant choice you made for many years to come. Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

My brother switched from Cadillac to Lexus. It took him a while to get used to not having to go to the dealer every month for service.

thanks for the warm welcoming. I know this is a lexus forum and biased toward lexus, but when crunching the numbers between a $35000 late model used cadillac financed for 5 years compared to my 06 LS financed for only 3 years; taking into account projected resale values, it became a very easy decision.

The car looks great. Tint will make it look even better. I actually just tinted my LS yesterday and it looks like a different car now.

Good looking car - yep in Florida I'd definitely tint. You may want to use a tint place that has experience with high end Lexus - LS windows had a special coating on them.
