Hi all, this is my first post here. I got a great deal on an 08 LS 460 Palm Beach Edition earlier this year, and I've been absolutely loving it. I've tried finding information all over the internet about the rarity of the landau top dealer add-on, and there is next to none available. Does anyone know where I could find information on the number of 4th gen LS Palm Beach Editions that were made in total?


Please don't roast me about the M3 wheels, it came with them from the dealer. I'm looking at getting some 5 spoke chrome wheels at some point in the future.

 

I think it’s pretty rare, maybe the roof had some type of paint damage…can you show a picture of what it looks like on the inside with the moonroof open?

 

Love the vinyle top, reminds me of my dad's cars from the 60's and 70's.

 

I think it is a tragic abomination.

Many will be thinking it.

Not many will stick their head up above the parapet.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

 

 

I get that a lot, I personally love how tacky and visually loud it is haha. I'm looking for ways to elevate the ugliness even further if you have any ideas.

 

The Good News?

The 460 will still be great to drive.

But the extra trim will promote rust.

 

Know any kindergardeners, have them paint the car

 

Ouch, that bad huh?

 

Sorry, but that's the ugliest add-on I've seen for an LS....

 

It is the automotive styling equivalent of putting a moustache on the Mona Lisa.

That makes my car 500x rarer than an LFA I can't be mad about that 😎

 

I have been in this business long enough to say I have seen worse, not in a long time, but I have seen worse. If you are happy, that's all that matters. I have seen plenty of cars, on this forum and others, that I think are absolutely ruined following some of the current trends.

Back in the day it was usually a certain clientele that did this to their cars, their windows were blacked out, they always paid cash, and you didn't pay any attention to the random bullet holes...

 

Such a modification will cost the current owner SAVAGELY at trade-in time.

It would need to have been purchased with a huge discount up front to take that reality into account.

It is known in the Used Car Trade as an "orphan".
