From a Civic to an LS460 in one leap ..... what's the next upgrade, a Maybach?!

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the Club. The search button is useful, but never hesitate to just post a question, some of the members here are very lonely and welcome the chance to be useful.

Many of the 2007-2010 LS460s and LS600s, especially the 07s, have a trim defect that reduces the isolation of the cabin from outside noises (this is also referred to as "Wind Noise"). If you find that you need details about this problem, look here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...noise-fix.html

I think the wind noise TSB only applies during regular warranty (4yrs/50k mi.). You can try it with the dealer and see if they will do it under CPO warranty. Maybe others can chime in.

Sweet ride.

Really pretty color.

Please realize it only gets BETTER and BETTER the longer you own and drive it.

This is a wonderful place to hang out and get some incredible advice. Beats most of the fishing "boards" I know .......LOL !

Wishing you a most Blessed upcoming Thanksgiving.

Im truly amazed at what a luxury car is capable of...now when i hit the gas- i get a response..haha
And yes i was hestitant when i saw the "white" interior > which the salesman corrected me...alabaster...but no kids right now...not to worried about the craylons or goldfish crackers being smashed in the leather. Depending on the lighting the car looks blue...but the grey is tough.

Car has the 60,000 mile service already done... questions i couldnt find answers to:

1. Is the next major service at 90,000 ? How much roughly should i expect to pay at dealer?
2. How often should i have the leather cleaned and reconditioned? I saw in records it was done at 30k
3. I drive roughly 50miles a day..when i get home and back in garage and cut car off...i hear these alternating clicking sounds..the sales guy said its the air suspenion readjusting...true? i dont have that button where i can pick the suspension...so i was leery since i never heard it on dealership parking lot with the noise

Awesome upgrade, I think its safe to say you'll be appreciating all the differences between a Civic and flagship Lexus. I love the looks of the LS and wish I had one, congrats.

If you have the time, detail the inside of your LS yourself (including the Leather). I do my cars once a year (leather, dash, trim, windows, trunk, exterior, engine bay) and you'll get a lot of satisfaction from having a slick clean whip. It takes some time but well worth it.
