Default Got my first ls460.

It arrived today. Little dusty and needs some detailing but overall excellent shape and condition.
I did notice oil leak where it was parked and found out Bluetooth phone is there but not Bluetooth audio?
Still need to register, smog and set up all little things but I'm happy camper and thankful I'm an owner of it.

2007. 60k miles.
I did lexus dealer inspection prior to purchasing it. Inspector told me about oil leaking but said was minor repair. I will take it to my mechanic and figure out.

Absolutely love the SFP!
Beautiful color!
And the wood/interior contrast..i think that's the maple wood...I love that color the most. Very classy and refined.
Very nice car.
Make sure you get the oil situation taken care of, as you don't want this car to be leaking ANY oil!
I also see that you've got a clear bra on the front, you'll love that!
Congrats and enjoy!

Or he'll hate it as much as I did and remove it.

Let us know how the oil leak plays out. I can't remember anyone ever reporting an oil leak, so I'm curious. Is the dealer not prepared to take care of it?

As for Bluetooth, unfortunately it's for telephone only. But you do have an AUX input in the armrest.

Congrats!! I love that color. Wanna trade for my Obsidian (Black)???

Clear bra in front and side mirrors are peeling off. I plan to remove it. Actually hate it lol.

There is a lot of oil leaking.
Lexus inspector said it was leaking from oil filter housing drain and need to fix it. However when car is parked in inclined driveway, ton of oil was found. This was sold by Mercedes dealer. They have always told me car is sold as is but now lexus inspector told me Mercedes just did oil change and they were suppose to fix oil issue before sending to me.

HAHAHA!!!
That could definitely happen as well!
Curious though (sorry for the hijack)-why did you hate yours?
And OP, most definitely let us know about the oil leak...I don't think any of us have or have had that issue.
Maybe oil filter related? Not tight enough? Gasket broke (if there is one, as I've yet to change it myself)
AUX is great, but I hate the location.
And if you don't wanna trade with Chris, im open to a trade as well, I have Black Sapphire Pearl for offering!

OK Chris, you win! 'wuddu-i-owe-ya??
Peeling off?? that's to bad.
I like mine very much and its actually served its purpose on a good few occasions.
As far as detailing goes, it shines up like the rest of the car. No scratches, streaks, no peeling, almost like its brand new.
I could be taking a shot in the dark here, but since Lexus did the inspection, I would have asked them or had them correct the filter housing issue while they had it to confirm that, that was the issue.
That way a Lexus tech would have addressed it, it'd be documented in the vehicles records and you'd have a piece of mind.
I'd also see if you can find out what oil the MB dealership used, and see how much oil you've lost.
Shouldn't be anything bad all together, but just my 2 cents!
Beauty though!
