Default Back home again!

Hello all. Originally a GS400 owner and was looking to move into a LS460 a few years ago. I ended up getting a great deal on an Infiniti M45. Although I enjoyed the M45 and will miss it, it just never seemed on par with the Lexus product. Came across a certified pre-owned 2008 LS460 SWB with only 36k. I had to do the deal and took her home this evening. Now to read the novel known as the Owners Manual.

I have been lurking in the LS forums for years, so thanks everyone for all of the great info. Happy to back in the Club Lexus family. Mods will come slowly as I have other priorities. On with a few pics from tonight.

Congrats! Looks like a nice find.

Also nice 2! Had a red 91 for 15 years and finally sold it last year with just about 85k miles on the clock

Congrats on the new car and good luck with it. Both the new ride and the dearly departed M45 look great.

Nice! I have had mine since 2003 and have it up for sale. Going to miss her. Did you sell it to get the Supra? That is my plan.

Here she is. Up for sale on this forum.

Always been a fan of the yellow on the 2s. I actually got the Supra back in 2004, so I had both cars simultaneously for 8 years. Sold the 2 since I barely drove it and couldn't justify it just sitting there. Plus I kept it in the suburbs while I myself live in the center of the city. All that combined with the fact that I got married, about to start a family, and have an 8-5 that requires a daily 60 mile commute basically left no time for me to enjoy the car.

The same is actually true for the Supra. While I haven't made an official "for sale" post yet, the car is for sale. It's accumulated probably less than 2000 miles in the last 6 years, so as cool as it is to own one of the greatest Japanese sports cars, I could spend that money in better places right now.

And the F is facing the same fate right now, though the main reasons behind that sale are that we are just a week away from welcoming our baby boy into this world and my 60-mile daily commute would probably be more relaxing in an LS.

Supra looks great. I am probably a year out from getting one, otherwise I would talk some numbers with you.

I thought about the ISF over the LS, but with the long commute I have as well, just decided to stick with comfort and size,
