Default Owner of a "new" LS 460 L

Bought this on Wednesday. Didn't really intend to, was more interested in the '03 CL55 also for sale in town, but this car...I drove it about 15 miles and was sold.

2008, most options (lacking the four seater and executive options, but everything else, I think...oh, no radar cruise, which is fine), was a Toyota "loaner" out in Cali for its first three years and about 20K miles (and by "loaner", I mean a Toyota lease trust vehicle...for executives, I'm guessing), then it came to Texas for private ownership for the next five years.

93K miles, pretty clean save for minor, but plentiful, small hail dings. Meh, it's north Texas...my vehicle is parked outside all day at work, if there's a bad storm coming, I'm a solid 8-9 minutes away from cover, so it's likely going to get hit, again.

I honestly cannot believe how a girl this big can get up and move the way she does.

Congrats, I think you made a wise choice with the LS (Vs. the 03 Merc, even though the CL55 is a pretty car)

Thanks everyone.

The Merc was seriously tempting because it's one of, if not the, last two-door hardtop made. Plus, supercharged V8 making almost 500 HP.

The seats were AMAZING, too.

However, this car is like driving a high speed, ultra-comfy bank vault.

I've been on this forum for a good while...whoa, 13 years(?!)...but that was for my wife's RX300, Princess, which has still yet to crack 140K miles.

Congrats and welcome.

I've only had mine a month and love it more each time I drive it.

Take care
