Default Introduction and my new purchase

Hi. I've been reading through various Lexus, MB and RR forums and decided on the Lexus.

Thought I'd share a couple of pictures. Looking forward to driving and letting to know the LX better.

Will be mostly a weekend cruzer.

Default Another picture

The second picture didn't upload

Forgot to mention. Ordered every possible option accept for the rear entertainment, kids are now all out of college. No need for tv screens in the car anymore.

Interior is the burgundy, nice color combination.

Going in tomorrow for interior/exterior opti pro coating and expel full custom wrap on the hood, fenders and bumper. They said it will take 5 days, hope to have it back in time for the 3 day July 4th holiday.

my goodness, 23k miles on that turbo? that's a gold mine you got there, the lx is "cheap" compared to what you can get for your turbo.

i admit, i am jealous, 993 turbo!!!!

Did you get the Mark Levinson audio? Every single LX I have seen is pretty much either base or loaded, and the ones with Mark Levinson always have the pimp my ride screens (a total waste of money, and you could just buy iPads for far less and they would each have superior screens).

You might have a truly rare truck.

I do not think I have ever seen a base LX. Well at least not at my dealer. Just about everyone is maxed out.

Most are, the ones that are not are pretty much always base with no ML audio.

Here's a base one, standard stereo (you can tell by the absence/presence of the ML logo between the stereo dials), no pimp my ride.
Always all or nothing

Default More torque

Here is my other German two seater. This is a 2008 CLK Black Series with 2k miles. Only 300 made.

It's a beast and an all together differ type of driver
