Dark grey floormats look OK to me in the pics, they match with the grey dash & the top part of the doors I may have a different opinion if I see it in person though. But the light mats will get messed up real quick, so it's not a bad idea at all.
For me, not sure if I will get another light color interior, I have the clear all weather type with my Lexus' ecru interior carpet which is a must for the rainy winter here.
Thanks for the pics & congrats again

In our LS 430 we have light colored mats, but they are covered with transparent water-resistant mats. They work well too.

Guess it was a good thing he wasn't out on the freeway this morning when I was going about 95.
Like I said, stay home, keep your money in the bank and drive one of the other cars in your fleet. Bush didn't listen to me, and look where it got him.

I sent you a PM but I'll post the info here too to give some props to my sales person. She is excellent.

Contact Kathleen Xu at Magnussen's Lexus in Fremont, CA. I was just there yesterday and they had several LS460 in the showroom. Her number is 510-938-2858.

I hear you guys are like the first Lexus cars yet to break away from normal Toyota green lighting and get blue lighting instead. I am very jealous.

It would make for a wonderfully comfortable drive home in your new LS460. Or you can ship the car for about $1K to $1.5K.

Velvetblue,

Did you trade in your 06 IS350 for your new ride? Could you tell me where did you trade in the vehicle? I'm looking for a used 06 IS350 but I can't seem to find it anywhere in So Cal.

You new ride looks very sweet, BTW.

Please kindly inform me, thanks a million.

I traded the IS350 in to Magnussen's in Fremont when I picked up the LS460. It is Matador Red Mica/Black, ML/NAV, Lux pxg with 18" wheels and 2274 miles. The trade in price was $34K.

Maybe you can contact Kathleen Xu (510-938-2858) and see how much they are going to ask for it.

Just wondering what the original purchase price was. You got a very good trade-in value for it. Yesterday I was at the Lexus dealership going through the paperwork for my LS460l and was told that a car depreciates by 20% the moment you drive it out of the lot!

Yes, they gave me a fair price on the trade in otherwise I told them I was going to wait until later next year to buy the LS460. I think I paid about $40.5K for it.
