Thanks everyone for all the nice comments and welcome
I traded in a 2007 lincoln town car for the Lexus. I was able to get it for under 27k less trade in. Needed the lwb for family members that could not get into a regular wheelbase cars. Lot less stress for all of us.
It does not have lane keep assist nor does it have a compass in the mirror. Kind of a shock actualy, but with navigation not an issue.
I did get a 5 year 60k extended warranty.
I feel very fortunate to have found this after a year of looking.

Hi Comotiger
it appears Lexus updated the Nav system along with other items i. 2013+ models. Mine is not as vivid or detailed as your model. I have doublechecked the owners manual and it appears 2010 had it on mirror but was option.
Not a great loss with system but funny it was not standard.
I really like the clock better in your model. Mine is a bit difficult to see and I was used to TC clock. Just simply more elegant than digital.
Take care

Yes, the interior update to the dash from 2007-2012 MYs was quite dramatic, with a super large nav screen above the AC vents. The rest of the interior carried over pretty much unchanged.
Who knows what's in store for the 2018 LS? Everyone is anticipating a fully digital dashboard display like the S-class and A8 (and Equus/Genesis G90). And hopefully more changes throughout the cabin. Not that it would matter because I will be holding on this beauty for many years

Did find out today that I can play regular dvds in the ML sound system while parked and brake on.
This is one of those cool options to show your friends and maybe get an ooh-aah out of them.
Thinking about a by-pass for dvd system I saw on another thread. We'll see.

Back seat
Yea me and a family member already had a "fight" over who would get the back seat It was funny. But the back is amazing.
Very Nice. You are going to love the ride on the LS 460L. I have the same back seat features. The problem is you never get to enjoy it because you never want to give up driving. If you do not have it get the Carista App and turn the back window shade off so that it does not go down every time you put it in reverse. I leave the side and back window shades up all the time.

The wherls are really nice. It does help the color pop. Really enjoying driving it. So much nicer than the Town Car and it was pretty quiet.
