Default Picking up my LS460 tonight

My dealer has 3 in stock and more on the way. No real waiting list. Got a small token discount because I am a regular customer.

Hi Henry:

Yes, I talked Susan into giving up her IS350 for the comfort of the rest of the family on long trips in the car. I bought most of my past Lexus from Magnussen. I just joked with the finance guy there that I paid for their new facility. And he forgot to collect my down payment. I would have loved the L version but I couldn't sell it to Susan. She is apprehensive about the size of the 460 as it is.

Yes, it's kind of embarrasing. Most people like to show off their new cars and I try to hide mine because I don't want to explain to my friends why I got another one.

Since you turn over cars all of the time do you just lease them?
