10 miles from my house. I saw it on craigslist Christmas night and thought...I really didn't get what I want for Christmas, so I bought it the next day. Drove it home in a snow storm and thought I'd crack it up (RWD), but it did alright.

Flew to Dallas and caught cab to Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX and drove 821 miles back home to Atlanta. The ride was great, the LS460 is built for the open road (touring sedan) and really shines on long distance trips. I was tempted to drive my current LS from Littleton, CO but decided to transport instead due bad weather.

Took the train from DC to Philly and drove the LS home from there. Also had an RX delivered to my house from a dealer in Annapolis which was pretty sweet.

What was your experience like if you had to travel out of state to find the right vehicle?

Flew down to Florida labor day weekend and picked up my 460L from Pembroke Pines Lexus and drove it 1200 miles back to NYC. Was a little nerve racking not knowing what to expect buying a vehicle out-of-state but in the end I had a pretty good experience and 60+ days later i am still so in love with her!
