^^ I'll see what they say on the warranty subject. I'll share thoughts on this 600 and the AWD 460 tomorrow - assuming the weather doesn't get extremely crappy early in the day.

I went back to look over the 460 more closely today - just to confirm what features it had and that they all worked. Seems like something close to a "base" model which is fine by me. I've made it this far without back rubs from car seats.  ;D Checked everything but the self parking. Interior is pretty minty, if not as posh as yours. One little scratch on the dash was all I could see. Exterior looked perfect.

Sounds nice!!  Does it have the Mark Levinson stereo at least?

Yes to the Levinson.  Also heated steering and rear sunshade and nav - so not so base after all.

Personally, I think the $10-12K LS430s are the best used LS models in terms of value - they're out there is you're patient and some are in incredible condition.  So much car for $10K.  Unlike a used 7-series or S-Class, they're great cars to own for the long haul.

The prices seem to be rising....maybe because of limited supply?  I see some creep close to $20K now!   :o

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Back when you were 26, how many cars could do 0-60 in 5.8 seconds?

Some of the big German sedans could come close - but yeah, mostly exotics only.  Perhaps I meant something more loud/rowdy/tossable.

When I was 26 I had a boring Mercedes sedan I loved 'cause it was boring and reliable and comfortable and then I had my toys.

First dibs at buying it? ;)

Official noted:  You have first dibs.  Getting ready to replace the shocks with traditional ones...just because.  And will likely ad the other "Sport" bits too so I have the best of both worlds.


To a Battle Royale? No fair!  >:(
