Talking New Lex owner, and can't stop loving it

I just purchased a used 2007 LS 460L and loving how this vehicle has aged so gracefully. I mean the features in this thing really dwarfs some of the newer cars on the market. I traded in my 2013 fully loaded hyundai sonata hybrid Ltd in for this, and my old car looked like a ford pinto compared to this beast.

I love the way you put it, "aged gracefully..." That's exactly how I feel about my "new to me" 2008 LS600hL! No one who rides in my car can believe it's 6 years old. I'd definitely take an older, super-high quality LS over a newer, cheaper car.

Congrats on joining the LS family!

Congrats on the buy! I just got a 460L this past weekend also and I've come to the conclusion that this would be a perfect prescription for anyone with road rage. Regardless of what's going on outside, inside the cabin is like a luxurious depravation chamber with a wonderful stereo system. The commute to work has never been so pleasurable.

Thumbs up

I purchase my 2010 LS 460 L two years and I can definitely relate to what you are saying. I regret I didn't buy my LS sooner. The LS 460 is an outstanding automobile. Congrats!!!

Congrats, and I completely agree. Just bought my wife a little Nissan Versa. As soon as we get in it to test drive it, the first thing she says is "well it isn't the Lexus". Hahaha

Also for some reason the pictures are loading....Let's see it

I just finished cleaning ole lex luther, and I must say this car is a wonder to look at. I still gotta put some tints on it though to preserve the leather, and find something a little better then brasso to clean that caked up carbon in and around the chrome exhaust tips (left by the previous owner) on the bumper. this is probably my first car out of about 12 that I actually really cleaned. I normally pay somebody or my wife will clean my cars when she start to see how dirty they get or my 2 boys will do it for ole dad. This is definitely my last car I'm gonna purchase (for me anyway) and one that I truly appreciate and will take care of until I'm no more.: Thanks Everybody and honored to be a part of the team.

Remember, the search function is your friend. Put in "exhaust tips" and you will get this (among other stuff that won't help) -

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...aust-tips.html

Unfortunately when you get to my post, that vendor's website is up but for some reason it won't accept orders. I hope nothing happened to them because that is the best product ever and I'm on my last bottle.

Awesome. Gotta love the LWB. It's like a limo for back seat riders.
