thats a nice jump there. I know you will enjoy the car. Its more than transportation. I think of mine as my private luxury vessel that insulates me from any and everything outside of the car. Amazing car

Car has the 60,000 mile service already done... questions i couldnt find answers to:

1. Is the next major service at 90,000 ? How much roughly should i expect to pay at dealer?
2. How often should i have the leather cleaned and reconditioned? I saw in records it was done at 30k
3. I drive roughly 50miles a day..when i get home and back in garage and cut car off...i hear these alternating clicking sounds..the sales guy said its the air suspenion readjusting...true? i dont have that button where i can pick the suspension...so i was leery since i never heard it on dealership parking lot with the noise
Sign up at https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home.do and input your VIN # then you can see the maintenacnce history of your car as well as the schedule. Below is what you will need to do at 90K, there is nothing major to repalce the 460 is very low maintenace.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the Club. The search button is useful, but never hesitate to just post a question, some of the members here are very lonely and welcome the chance to be useful.
Thats what i was thinking,,,,^^^

Nice ride...!

thanks again everyone...almost 4 weeks since i drove it off the CPO lot haha. Mike@vossen--will be messaging you once these wear down to upgrade...tee thanks, dealer did 60k service even though i bought it at 59k..and previous owner did everything at dealer here so i sleep a little better.

question...is there a difference if i put ect in POWER mode before i drive or if i flip it on while going 70? what does it really do? does it just hold the rpms longer? or like the m button on bmw.

nice upgrade. Power mode delays the transmission shifting so the engine gets into higher RPMs.
