I have rear door power shades.

That is really rare. It looks like a Sport but with the Special Edition 2012 Topaz leather trim pieces. I have never seen a sport with the Topaz, they always have brown accents. That LS pictured has Sport wheels, leather wheel, and air suspension which points to a Sport. The only LS I saw listed for sale with the topaz was a 2012 and it did not have sport wheels or air suspension.

OK, thanks! I thought the rear door shades debuted in the 2010 MY. So, you have the powered rear massaging seats. What MY is your car? What was this option package called then?

I have a 2007 L With the backseat package but I found it strange that there is no rear massaging seat option. I don't know why my sig with the vehicles was not showing up but it populated right after I posted this answer.

Shades and reclining rear seats were available since day one (had them on my 2008 460L), but massaging was added for 2010 (outside the Executive Package).

Hi caha14, thanks for the clarification. I got the two features mixed up.

Here's a nice '07 460L that just popped up on Facebook - he said $17,500 on the FB page, but he has $18k on his craigslist ad - https://kansascity.craigslist.org/ct...438072372.html

That is a nice one. But, I'm being patient and waiting for a 2008 or newer with less than 100K miles and, with the light interior. Hopefully has the 5 Spoke wheels too. Thanks for looking out for me !!!!!

Got any input on this one? Help !!!

That looks nice. I like that it's at a Mercedes dealer, meaning it was probably a trade-in rather than the kind of auction car you find at independent dealers.

Looking at the pics, the armrests are not stitched, meaning it does not have semi-aniline leather. Online listings are notorious for listing that when they don't have it.

I'd run to see that one pretty quickly and would immediately run the VIN through Lexus Drivers site to see service history. August VIN stamp which means it's one month away from being a 2011production (gives you increased confidence in minor issues being worked out as some early '10's still had some glitches). Looks to be in great shape. Almost identical to my 2010 460L (same exterior color, made one month after mine, same rims, just has different interior color). Mine had 65k miles and I paid $22k last March here in FL which is a super competitive market for used LS's due to the older demographic. I'm a bit of a numbers guy and my searching for about 18-24 months in my market showed me that every 10k miles is worth about $1k in sale value, so I'd think you could get it for $19k plus tax, fees, etc.

If I was in the market today and this came back showing good service history, no major accidents, and passed the eyeball test and felt good driving, I'd buy it. Call and ask someone how long it has been on the lot. Don't give your name (or make up a fake name) and then try to get a different sales person when you show up and ask that person how long they keep used cars on the lot before auctioning. Knowing how long it has been on the lot gives you an indication in how willing they are to aggressively sell. Some dealers have to auction a car once it's been on their lot 60 or 90 days. At that point, as long as you offer higher than what they'd get by whole-saling it, you'll be the winner. I bought our LX (used) at day 58 on the lot and knew they had to get rid of it on the 60th day. Got a screaming deal.
