Default New 08 LS600hl

I just picked up a 2008 LS600hl and am hoping to have it delivered within the next 2 weeks. It has 90k miles and has been serviced at Lexus since Day 1. All control arms and front shocks have been replaced within the past 6 months. Water pump (12 months ago) and valve springs (2 years ago) were also done.

It has the Executive Class Seating Package II, Pre-collision system and dynamic radar cruise control (no idea what either of these things do), rear power seats and headrests w/memory, rear seat entertainment system and 4-zone climate control. Not sure which of these come with the 600 and which are add-ons.

I had originally wanted black or white exterior, but I quickly fell in love with this interior and decided the grey exterior looks great.

Future plans will be tint, wheels and a drop.

I've been around for a long time on these boards, but this is my first LS600. I had an LS430 back in the day, as well as almost every other Lexus that's ever been made.

Here are a couple of pictures

Thank you guys for your kind words. They asked me today if I wanted a 24mo/24k mile warranty for $1750... It's not a Lexus warranty though. Seems to pretty much cover everything I could think of. Thoughts??

Hmm..I paid a little less than that for my extended CPO wrap warranty through Lexus to give me a 5yr/125k mile warranty

Thank you guys! I'm patiently waiting for it to get here. Buying out of state and having it shipped is a serious PITA! I wanted to fly in and drive it home but they were going to require me to pay their state tax and then my own when I got back here.

Anyway, I ended up buying a 48k mile/48-month warranty through my credit union. It was $2200 and covers a great deal of what I had hoped. It isn't a Lexus warranty, but still a nice piece of mind.

Jadu - no sir. After owning over 20 SC's I am done with them. Too old for all that nonsense
