Thanks! I bought it from an Acura store that had been sitting on it for a while so they originally had it for 14,999 then marked down to 13,999 finally I jumped when it went to 12,999 online then I talked em down another few hundred to 12,700 out the door! I dont think they realized that it had like 4,000 in factory options installed. I checked KBB and it still books for 17,600 so pretty stoked considering I can probably drive this thing another 200,000 miles and plan on doing so until the prices of the LS460's come down to earth! 8-) As for the color it has really grown on me and I like it's rarity and luxury look.

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm gonna de badge all the dealer swag next weekend when I wax and detail it. And as for the color I was mixed when I first saw the pic online but I really liked it in person, plus I don't see too many around this color so in my area it's rare. The only thing driving me nuts is the fading of the driver and passenger seat wonder if there is a way to bring these back to life without re upholstering with new leather? It's only on the bottoms of 2 front seats.

Congrats on your purchase, and welcome to CL! You'll find lots of great people on here with vast automotive knowledge. Make sure to browse through the old threads for lots of great info, including discussions of the numerous features on the LS. It's always fun to discover something you didn't even realize this amazing car does! It's easily the best car I've ever owned and will likely be the best car I'll ever own.
Again, welcome. Dave

Yeah I'm thrilled with it and amazed at the amount of technology it has as well as the best ride I've ever experienced and I've owned 40 cars over the years! I am officially a Lexus owner for life now! 8-)
