I recently purchased a 08 swb LS460. I was looking for the Red w/ Black interior. Low miles was important. I found one with 21k miles, and every option except for ML stereo. I found one in Chicago and had the local Lexus dealer check it out. No problems with car fax and was in good shape, only needed tires and wheel alignment, and a couple of small scratches. I love this car, as it is my 9th Lexus and definitely my favorite of all. I have purchased 7 of the cars new from a local Lexus dealer, and purchased the extended warranty there for a great price. total cost for everything including getting it back to PA was 41600, which also included tires, the 20k dealer service, extended warranty and inspection. I saw many CPO cars with twice as many miles for 43-45k. Anyone have an idea if I paid too much or was I in the ballpark at 41600 all inclusive? I love the car and wouldn't have done anything differently since it is covered for 100k miles and 8 years, except maybe have tried to wait out for the ML, but the stock radio is still great.

Sounds good to me. You have to realize that the price of these vehicles has been going up since the earthquake. The last I read Lexus is saying they don't expect full production until November/December, so you can expect prices to go higher still.

If you have a good car audio shop around, for 2-3k you can upgrade your stock system to blow away ML.
