I considered buying that one, but they would not budge on price. It also does not have a rear seat package, so no screen or audio controls for those in the back. I had not noticed that at first for that was the first 600h that I had come across without it. I did/do like the color and agree the condition looks great. The thought of driving it back from NM to KY also soured me on it. I believe they have dropped the price a little since, but still it sits.

I noticed that too, lack of rear seat upgrade! Never seen that configuration before. I dont really care for the 2010-2012 600hL grill. The front fascia looks so generic. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm looking at a Venza.

I drove the 600hL, what a car. It is on Omaha Lexus website. No Ottoman or massage, but video and everything else... I know after clean up and mechanicals it is 22,900 dollars...89,000 miles
Call Drew Fischer if interested. He is my friend and a good guy.

My car is being considered for a return, based on dash issue. The 600hL is 7K more than mine.......See it on Lexus Omaha site. $22.9k for the 600... I paid $15.4K for mine

a bit off topic but anyone know if you get back VAT sales tax and any import tax paid for the car initially if you export it?

Its totally not the same material. Same supplier, same issue, but the material is clearly different. All you have to do is sit in an LS460 and a 2008 Camry its clear.

Did you buy the car from this dealer? Who is buying it back, the dealer or Lexus?

The dealer will allow me to return mine if !exus central won’t fix the dash as a grandfather issue, I will know final answer Monday.
Also, the dealer, Omaha Lexus, nay put me in another car.

If it cleans up and runs equal or better than your 460, then I would up/swap to the 600h. The sticky dash in the 460 would definitely bother me. I hope Lexus comes through for you on the dash replacement, but even that would bother me some knowing the level of disassembly the car would have gone through. Back in late May, I interacted with Jennifer Militti at that same dealership, on a launch edition 600h in Truffle; I've always liked that color. She sent me pictures in advance of the detailing they had planned, and I was impressed at how well it cleaned up, though ultimately the vehicle was not for me. Seems like a good dealership to deal with.

After reading about battery issue after 90K, I decided to forget the 600h
I will buy a new dash for my 460. That seems like the best solution, if Lexus won’t
help me.
