[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2157295, member: 1132"] Yep! Dual zone climate control and 13 speaker Mark Levinson system. Don't forget the heated and cooled perforated leather seats! :thumb: That thing is insane! Handles and stops a lot better than the original too! It's an 08' GS460. The Lexus dealer said the 460's only made up about 10% of the GS production and they went to a special order only item in 09'. For the life of me I can't understand that. Probably the cost, but the silky smooth power plant and 8 speed transmission are worth every penny. I found this one on the used lot at Don Thornton Cadillac, but I just called my guy at Lexus of Tulsa and they had it sent over, since they're owned by Don Thornton as well. The Caddy dealership had it significantly underpriced for such a low mileage example (24K on the odometer). I guess they didn't know what they had. Lexus honored the price and I walked away with a discount of about a dollar per mile. :) Honestly the M56 is a better driver's car and from personal experience, the IS-F is a beast comparatively. I just don't care for the styling of the M56 and my wife has an IS 250, so I know it's too small for me comfort wise. About my only beef with the car was the rubber band run flats they put on it. They just didn't work with these horrible Tulsa roads. I recently switched to a set of 17" TSW 10 spoke wheels and went +1" on the sidewall with a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS rubber. The difference is night and day, plus I'm getting better traction for a slight offset in roll on the corners. Completely worth it IMO. [/QUOTE]
