2008 LS 600 HL just turned over 200,000 miles. I decided to keep it and upgrade the hybrid battery (took two months to get it from Japan )new wheels and tires all new front end (whether it needed it or not plus new radiator and fans. I also had it ceramic coated. did all the work myself except for the hybrid battery and the front end alignment

 

interior pics?
How long did the original battery last?

 

 

my hybrid battery was replaced November 2021 at 192,000 miles

 

I added some LS 500 rims - bought them as "take offs" on ebay. There is so much chrome on the car and the originals as brushed aluminum.- I like chrome rims (20 inch) and I think it added to the car. I think it would look great on your car as well.

 

The current rims on the car are my third set. I had black rims at one time, but I’m old-school and like chrome.your car looks good.

 

Beautiful car. Did the original one fail?

 

Thanks all the lights kept lighting up so I knew it was time to replace it. Lexus did a health check and determined it needed to be replaced. They charged me with tax and installation 5100.00

 

the dealership was willing to replace it with an upgraded battery? So it wasn’ OEM but instead an even better one? Or did Lexus update their own battery design? Thx.

 

Good decision!

 

Very nice.

 

my invoice reads OEM battery

 

oh ok. Thx. In your op you mentioned an updated battery and I must have misunderstood what you meant.

 

Interesting - never seen a 200,000 mile Lexus with the driver's seat leather in that good condition!

 

Thank you.I clean and condition them with chemical guys leather conditioner, on a regular basis.
