Thank you!

I gather that the original owner of this car probably traveled a lot or maybe had other cars, hence the low miles. Like yours, this car still smells new!

The hood was open, for some reason. I briefly thought that since shipping had taken long, they might have had to jump it, then I remembered where the battery is in this baby.

Thank you! I would be happy to help out. In this process, I interacted with four dealerships over six weeks, ran a lot of numbers, negotiated, looked at a couple of cars in person (and virtually, for a couple others), etc., and believe I've gotten a decent feel with what's going on out there. I can share what I learned about the cars out there (and the dealerships too!).

In this deal, in addition to a trade-in, there were other "nuances" involved, so no number by itself will tell the story. Not dodging the question though; I would be very happy to share the whole story via PM.

Thank you! Are you really looking? That is the LX in the background! The boss and the kids made it just in time to see the car unloaded.

There will be more pictures, I promise. It's at my local dealership, and then I need to clean it up.

Thank you! Yes, it's all good. I had forgotten to answer slimjimtel's question but just edited the post. It was open.

Does anyone know if the 2-tone interior is a 600 thing only? Every time I see a Cashmere interior in a 460, it is all the same color. I've also seen 600s in the same color. Yet, this has the 2-tone thing going, and I have found no information on it. I like it; it is the one reason I decided to go with a light interior.

EDIT: It would help if I posted a photo of what I am talking about... I haven't taken any of the interior yet, so this one is from the dealership. I hope they won't mind

perhaps it's because they don't offer a different color of leather stitched dash and steering wheel? i've only seen black leather on that. . .

The only two models I know of that have that similar interior are the 2008 LS600 Launch Edition and the 2009 LS600 Pebble Beach Edition. Pretty cool interior you have there.

I've actually seen a lighter one too. That's what is puzzling!

Thank you! Interesting. I am definitely a big fan. It makes the beige stand out more, IMHO.

This is why I wanted black interior on my LS. I wanted it all to be the same color.
