I keep my side shades and rear shades up full time. I used the Carista app to stop the rear shade from dropping during reverse. The only time my shades come down is when a rear passenger wants them down. My windows are deep tinted. With the shades up, you cannot see in the rear windows. And the darkeness inside from the shades being up makes the fronts look almost blacked out. You can see what I'm talking about (somewhat) in my Avatar. I love it. It's NOT legal this dark in GA. I actually did buy the vehicle this way.

I'm guessing it's just a matter of time until I get pinched though. But almost 2 years now and it's not happened yet. Aside from those eyes who appreciate the lines of an LS, my car doesn't get much attention, that helps with The Heat. And I drive very low key, I do not draw any attention. So far so good.

As for the rear seat massage, I admit, it is a bit gimmicky. However, look at it this way. It does do *something*. It does make your back feel good. A real massage? No. But what it does do, is better than nothing. So, not really gimmicky. I call it, "back vibration." Because it's not really a massage, but it really does vibrate and feel good. The guys that ride to lunch with me "call" the back seat. And within a 15 minute ride, they get quiet and say they don't want exit the car to go back in to work. So, am I glad I have the gimmicky back massage? YES!

And look at what's on the service history.... Looks like you got a good 'un.

Why they put the opcode down as cooling is beyond me but this is a good sign.

yep, that's all the money and then some given the mileage. Fortunately the control arms were recently replaced, which will save considerable cost down the road.

I think you should just get it, you will enjoy it and thats worth more than a price of a car

No, I don't like the car @ $28,000 OTD with 105K miles.

I think the mileage is too high for the money. This is just my opinion, but there's probably better deals out there--but you'll need to be a little flexible on color/options.

Unless your payments and interest rate is really high then you might regret it a little bit

it's not the $28K that bothers me, it's buying a 100K+ mile car for $28K that gives me heartburn.

There's got to be other $28K LS460s out there with significantly less miles ?!?!
