Default Just bought an 08 LS 600hL

Traded in my 06 LX470 with 31.6k miles for this 08 black 600h with 41.3k and the difference came out to about $41777 after taxes and interest (5yrs). Decent deal? I also bought the extended $3k warranty that is refundable if never used and the ding and dent warranty. Dam they get you in the finance room....

Where those warrantys worth it in your mind? they said ANY modification voids it and i wanted to smoke out my tails and add hid fogs

ding and dent claims they cover any dent the size of a credit card or smaller and buffs out small scratches. i hope they are true to there word im going to try them soon.

and i had to man up and pay. i was suppose to vacation in cancun this whole week but i canceled that and barrowed 1.5grand from a friend to pay it. they actually said it came out to $7K

sucks. Call your insurance. I am surprised because my LS takes u turns like a tiny car. Must have been a narrow street or you pushed to hard and the car understeered

It was a steering error on my part. Do u have a SWB? I feel like this car compared to my camry hybrid is a boat its so big, which to me isnt a problem i love space, but the turning radius on mine does seem small
