Yes! Thanks guys! That emblem is so easy to clean! Haha...

It was either this car or a 2008 LS600hL. I really liked the 600 ride with its power, transmission, and all the features it comes with. I just wasn't getting a warm fuzzy feeling with the lack of trunk.

i'll say it again, you can't beat a near perfect clean black LS.

No problem!

FYI - In order for it to work press the Air Purifier button on the Climate Control screen and make sure the vent door top left inside the cool box is open. Far as lack of trunk space the rear AC unit takes up some room (trade off) also check your rear AC cabin filter in the trunk to see if it needs replacing.

Now to figure out what all the *****, switches, and gizmos do.
Spend a few hours and read the Owner's Manual cover to cover.

@Tee ~

I may have not communicated well. When I meant of lack of trunk space, I was referring to the LS600hL being small due to the batteries and why for the most part I went with the LS460L instead. I realize some of the space is taken up by the A/C unit there.

Thanks for info on operating the Cooler Box.

@Randy ~

I have been reading it on and off all week. Then sitting in the car, in the driveway and operating the controls with manual in hand. Also practicing a few things things driving around the block becoming even more familiar.

I never had a Lexus before. Having this car makes me wish I got one sooner.

Thanks Bill and Freddy!

I do know that the previous owner was an employee of Lexus. They took very good care of it. 66k miles and the interior is in great condition.

Just got to keep that Obsidian Black clean now!

Thanks!

The other day I was asked if I was going to do anything to it. I said, "like what?" LOL I did see a Caddy CTS with a big WHALE spoiler. I showedmy friend who asked me the picture and told him I was adding that to my car. The look on his face was priceless.

I really like the car as it though. I may wind up doing some mods here or there but most likely not because I am bored and having nothing better to do.
