Blue LED..


Any particular reason why other than aesthetic reasons on your behalf?

Looks amazing. I went from 98 ES to my 08 LS and couldn't be happier. Whole 'nother ball game. Welcome to the big leagues!

I love it puts a smile on my face every time I drive.
blue LED were to kinda match all the mood lighting and clusters
standard wheel base Rear Wheel drive, the original leaser wanted the upgraded wheels and paid for it.

Sweet deal, nice ride. Love the tint. I recommend Exhaust Vents, icing on the cake.

Beautiful car.
If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for the car? I'm in Las Vegas I recently sold mye13 Es300h private party and been searching for a 13 LS 460 and having a tough time finding one on the west coast. I've seen a few in Florida but I'm hesitant on purchasing one and having it shipped. I really don't trust carfax as id like to inspect the car myself. I've seen way too many cars that have clean carfax or cpo cars that I know you can tell body panels have been replaced or find paint over spray.

That seems like a really good deal. What's the mileage? Any option packages, like ML?

52k miles which is why the 3 year cost so much more they charge an extra grand for anything over 50k miles
basically as base as you can get outside of the upgraded wheels and standard comfort package.
