Yes, unless you bought from dealer w/ CPO warranty, do not take it there for control arms replacement

Fuel mileage will be about the same. I believe the LWB has a few hundred more pounds, so it's like having having some luggage in the back. The fuel mileage is based off what your computer shows as your current history. Reset your mileage and do some driving. Your distance will change.

Just picked up my car.
Free with CPO/extended warranty. Just pay for alignment.
Without warranty - $4363 for total of 8 front suspension arms.
If you do not have warranty/CPO/extended warranty- do your research. It will save you a lot of money.

Grats on the rare color combo. It's a good looking car. I wanted a 460L, but luckily found out before buying it wouldn't fit in my garage. That extra 5" in length had it slightly outside the door. I've had my 08 since October 2014. It had 52,100 miles. I just turned 56K.

Enjoy!

Just 360? Mine routinely says over 450 miles and I typically end up averaging about 400 or more miles a tank. I have a SWB though.

I do a lot more city driving than highway/freeway which could explain why.

Thanks! Yes I love this color combo. I've been searching for one like this ever since owning my white/beige LS430. Once I saw this car available I knew I had to have it.

I have an option for an Allstate Extended Warranty... $1900 for 3 years/ 36k miles. It covers control arm and bushings replacement. I'm seriously considering doing this. But first I need to bring my car to get inspected.

Carchex is probably $2500 for a 5yr/60K addl mile warranty covering everything including the Nav & electrics which a lot of other extended warranties won't cover.

Congrats on the new car, and I wish you good luck with it.

I think that color is perfect for Hawaii.

I always say this: Check with your local credit union.
I was able to get a 4 year/50k platinum warranty with a $250 deductible for around 900 bucks.
