Spotted a 2008 LS600hL NM Launch Edition today...

Went for a drive this morning and stopped off at a small, luxury car oriented dealership to find they have an LS600hL on the lot. Initially, I thought it was a Pebble Beach due to the wheels, but upon further inspection, it is a Neiman Marcus Launch Edition. Unfortunately, the vehicle is in poor shape cosmetically - a few panels have been repainted poorly. I'm aware that only 100 were sold worldwide, so I'd be curious to know how many of those are owned by ClubLexus owners?

I refuse to believe there isn't a 600hL NM owner on here!

100 cars out of a total production of thousands is small...

Just had to google Nieman Marcus to see what it was. Never heard of it.

Indeed it is.

Agreed. The interior seemed to be a bit worn as well. Considering the price of the vehicle when it was brand new, it is quite a shame.

I never understood how owners could show such disregard for such a nice car by not taking care of it and keeping it clean. No matter how hold or how many miles my cars have I make sure to keep them clean. It's a sign of respect and appreciation as far as I'm concerned.
