Default 2011 LS460 - She's finally home!

All the searching and agonizing is over...the papers have been signed, and I've driven her home. After a couple of close deals that fell through, I am very happy with the model that I got.

2011
LS460 AWD SWB
Black/Black
CPO with 22,909 miles

In a perfect world I would have found a low mileage Smokey Granite/Black, but I just couldn't locate one in my area, price range, etc. Initially, I wanted a 2wd LS, but pretty much all the cars in my market were AWD, and I came around to being okay with an AWD model. The only other non-perfect item was that it doesn't have the ML sound system, but I'm okay with that.

Here's a crappy pic of her below. The weather sucks right now (cold and snowing), and it was a crime to drive her home since the dealer did an awesome detail job on her. I plan to keep her totally stock, except for some new shoes when the time is right. I really like the 19" 5-Spoke that come with the touring models.

Well done and congratulations, Mitty. You have the same color combo as I. A full time job to keep clean! Lol.

Oh man Mitty, so sorry you had to get such lousy car!

Congrats and I'm sure you are going to absolutely love it.

After owning my 2011 for two months I can say with 100% certainty that you will LOVE your car! I also wanted the ML stereo, but the stock one is far better than what comes in most other cars. The 6 disc CD changer plus the USB connector for an iPod provides all the music that you will ever want. I use a 160GB iPod Classic and the Lexus stereo controls it perfectly. Add an iPod Touch via Bluetooth for things for which you don't care if there is a slight reduction in quality.

Congratulations!

Everything looks great, even the 2011 wheels, which I got for my 2007 as an all season/winter set.
