Default New Owner '13 LS 460 AWD

Greetings CL,

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. After nearly 2 years of searching for the right CPO LS at the right price, I finally found it:




39k miles, Starfire pearl, AWD, 19" optional wheels, ML sound system , comfort package, and flaxen interior with Shimamoku Espresso Wood trim. Drives like a dream (though it needs an alignment). Incredibly smooth and well built automotive work of art. I'm looking forward to many trouble-free miles with an incredible car.

Big thanks to this forum for educating me on all things LS. Without a doubt, my purchase would not have been so well-informed without the collective know-how and accessibility of this group. Looking forward to being a contributor and learning even more!

Nice, congrats! Beautiful car! It does indeed drive like a dream, that's for sure. Still puts a big grin on my face every time I get behind the wheel and/or smash on the gas to pass!

Though some are ready to see a new engine for the LS, which is understandable, I just love the classic 4.6 in this car. Smooth power to match that magic carpet ride.. I still can't believe it's mine!
