Looking to purcgase 2008 Lexus GS 460. Colors I'm considering are.

1. Siver
2. Black
3. White

Opinions, and pictures of them lowered on wheels?
What options did they come with, which are the most loaded options?


EDIT: This would be my third white car, and second pearl white GS. I wanted to change things up.

Thank You.

The problem with black is, with it being used, you have no idea how the prior person took care of it. Black looks fabulous straight off the lot, or if it has been well cared for. With that said, white or silver will be much easier to pretend that it's clean when your roads are covered in salt during the winters. IMO, there is nothing better than a black car that has been properly maintained. Unfortunately, not too many people know how to do that.

Good luck!

The white GS looks sick.

I like White - it flatters this car nicely. But the Black paint Lexus uses is the best in the industry and the lines of the GS460 look great in black. Nothing shines like a Black Lexus. Here are some pics of mine (I also threw in a couple of pics of the ML+ iPod adaptor because I think it is an awesome add to the GS460).

Yes here is my favorite. Henry's car.

BTW Do me a favor and tell me what you end up paying for that car. My car has 19k miles, is also 2008, and has 20 months left on original warranty. It would be good to get a benchmark.

Default Post a Picture of your favorite GS460 BLACK-WHITE-SILVER

Basically, I am trying to decide what color to get, and cannot choose for the life of me. Post one picture of your favorite color. Please try to post cars that were lowered and with wheels on. Let's how we do here.
