The size is one of the qualities that I like about these cases. Road presence means a lot to me

unless you expect to find the unicorn. A showroom condition used Ls 460 close to wholesale book car.

i closed one eye and on the LS reputation alone i stepped up and bought a 08 with 54k miles garaged for $18.750.

all records. I will have $5k extra into it to restore the car to near showroom.

i have driven it 19k miles in 9 months. I feel privileged to be able to drive such a high quality car for $23k invested.

last three cars we owned all went 200k miles. This one will outdo all them combined.

you have to drive the money invested out of it.

found an unworn $2800 steering wheel for $109 unmounted. Bought a new center console cover for $400.

Replacing the drivers seat rubber cushion.

Newest Michelin’s. GromV2. Shined the chromed mags. Replaced floor mats. Upgraded head lights from 55k to whiter 60k. Had the dealer put in 2016 nav upgrade.

Align car. Bought part of the control arms.

Will replace the pitted aftermarket windshield with a new oem for $1200.

can you tell me a better car for $23k that can go another 400k miles without breaking the bank.

I was in the car biz long ago and the fancy rv for 20 years.

This is is a treat to drive. You drive something else. Not me.

oh. And it goes. And gets great mpg
Love your reply I have an '07 at 51000 miles and paid about the same.
Anyway, where'd you buy floormats?
