I'm on the list. I sent my deposit to Vista Lexus in Woodland Hills. I thought I was young at 31!!!

Very impressive and I have to say you have a good head on your shoulders. I did go to college and I have my day job, I also have my accounting/tax business on the side and I also own some real estate but I'm older than you (33 years old). Keep up the good work. Live long and prosper.

yeah the led headlights are indeed a killer on the 600hl. makes the car that much better than the 460l. me on the other hand i don't really care much on the gas mileage, but i do want the hp. i don't really consider the 300 on the 430 enough anymore. the 380hp on the 460 is nice, but give it another 3 yrs and i think it's common out there, so have close to 450hp is the "right" thing

but then you are talking to a guy who's only dreaming on the car

yup, we discussed this before, we have no idea why awd is not offered on the 460. lexus has awd options offered on all lower end setup, the gs300 and the is250. obviously the ls460 will become the "lower end" with the 600hl coming out. i wonder if it has anything to do with the 460 engine and the 8 speed tranny, but it's just a wild guess

My deposit was $500. I am 13th on the list at my dealers.

Ditto here on the $500. But I put it on about 2 months ago, so I'm fairly high on the list. I think 4 or 5.

Congrats on the purchase. Better take lots of pics of that bad boy when it arrives.

Drink3, if you really want the LS600 wait till next year. You'll just trade in the LS460 anyway when the LS600 is for sale. save the dough and wait on the first LS600's and put your deposit down for the car you REALLY WANT. GOD IS GOOd ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!

If you buy now what you really dont want, you waste whatever you were making in car payments up until you buy the 2007 LS600 if you still want it next year. I purchased 9 cars in 7 years and learned after a while that I was pissing my money away. The owner of the dealership even tried to get me not to buy my last car. He said to get what you really want and stay there, I didnt listen. In these times no matter how much we make (I also have a high income and Excellent credit) we need be careful with wasting what we might need. How many in New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast (Mississippi) and Texas areas thought they were O.K until after the devastation. You never know what tommorrow brings. Im talking WISDOM, not whatever. It is your choice man your young and if something unseen comes from nowhere and your finances change you got enough youth in you to make it back. On the other hand the dollar loses value aound 2%-3% a year so instead save your talents and get what you REALLY want. Its wasted money at the end of the day if youll just trade in. I have friends who on car dealerships and they usta tell me I was a fool buying a depreciating item. Now I get it from a cost stand point. Get what you want, it sounds like you really want the LS600. Add you down payment to what you will spend in car payments, then your downpayment to get the LS600 and thats extra money that you could flip in real estate and take the money you make of the real estate and pay for the car. And a 9 month CD or some other safe investment. Im old money not new money. All my friends have money and cars are either a hobby or a stage. Some of us admitted we were unhappy with our lives when buying car after car. When we saw that was it we stopped and looked for happiness elsewere. No matter your choice of what to do its yours but, I wanted to give you the real about getting older and becoming usta having money for years. I was down with Jodeci and other big money atist and groups and so I have mad experience in this money thing. Im behind the scenes in the game and seen it come and go.Not mines others by not being alert that Bill Gates is wealthy the rest of us are on incident from disaster. I know people with $ 20,000,000 who lost it all in this music game, by over spending. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.

we dont think about as much as we should but, are you guys aware for the first time since the depression the country is in the negative in the savings rate. Last I heard on the news below 0% for the first time since the depression. We with money are even spending more on gas. I wonder how much we have spent more in gas alone with gas prices rising. Also gas effects cost of other goods and services so what is your dollar really worth. WISDOM!!!! Just think a minute, is it better to buy some gold at these unstable fiat money times or a car. Gold in the early 2000's was around 285 or 300 I think, now its in the 400's do the math. Get what you want dont **** it away. Take it from old money. READ "MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR". Great food for thought. Enjoy the money, but be a good steward and be wise with your talents. Your story young man is a great one, showing whatever you belive you can be you can . I want it to go further than material items young man. No matter if you have $100,000 in the bank or $100,000,000 doesnt matter, anyone rich like Cris Rock said can go broke. .GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.

I have both the LS460 and the LS460hybrid on order, with a deposit at my dealer. I intend to buy both and enjoy both. Right now the lengh of time between delivery of each is 6 months, but that could grow, with delays of one sort on another. If I can't enjoy these vehicles now...then when? LOL Hey--if I don't spend the money now, my kids will get it...and who knows WHAT they will spend it on!
