Default Finally! Pulled the trigger.

Have had GS's and have kept my eye out for the right LS for a good while now. I have just moved back to the states and found her. 2008 460L with 58k miles. Going back in to finalize the deal and hand over the keys to the little toy Jeep. Let me know what you guys think. Will look forward to changing the reserved posts for updates both in and out of the car.

Great color indeed! LOL (I have the same).

If you've never owned a black car before, be prepared for the full time job of keeping it looking good. LOL. I still curse at her every time I see the swirl marks returning after a full day of detailing and polishing them out. The Obsidian paint is sooo soft. Argh. As the song goes, "....black cars look better in the shade".

Congrats and looking forward to the remainder of the pics....

I was wondering what you meant by that until I finally scrolled down. That's a good idea, I've never seen anyone do that before.

Congrats on the new ride and I wish you good luck with it!

OP, major congrats on the purchase! Low miles for the year, great find! How long were you searching?
Also, I noticed you labeled the car Navy referring to its color. I believe it's the same color as mine if you have a dark rich blue color. It's called Black Sapphire Pearl.
And Roadfrog, I thought yours was black(Obsidian)??
Great car! Look forward to your feedback.
And I dont mean to side rail the thread, but how was your experience with the Audi and RR?
Very curious...
Congrats again!

You can say that again...
The paint is entirely too soft imo.
I've gotta acquire some touch up paint for a few chips...drives me nuts.
