New to Lexus, hi!

[donkmeister]

Hi all,

This weekend I'll be picking up my first ever Lexus; an LS460 SE-L (with the one optional extra; a heated steering wheel!). My test drive never went over 30mph due to being in a city centre but it felt wonderfully smooth. I've budgeted for some repairs and maintenance, there's no warning messages, so hopefully it won't break my heart 😀

I've had a variety of cars in the past; Mercedes, Vauxhall, Ford, Renault, Fiat, plus some 2-seaters from Mazda, MG, Honda. I've always found that good owners' clubs are an important part of the ownership experience and from some lurking I've seen your forum has a lot of knowledge sharing and helpful members. Hopefully I can contribute as I inevitably tackle some jobs in mine too.

Cheers, 

D

Hi Donk and welcome to Lexus ownership and the best Lexus forum there is. Yes you're right. Lots of knowledgeable owners on here. What jobs are you going to do on your new steed? What made you go for the LS460 apart from it being a beast of a car?

Welcome to the Club Donk, I'm sure you'll find it very helpful.

Lets see some photos of your new beast when you get it

Welcome Donk. I endorse the comments made by Vlad and Herbs above.

You chose wisely! I never thought I'd need a heated steering wheel but I have to admit it's a great thing to have 🙂

Thanks all for the greetings 😀 

We picked the car up on Sunday, and first did a 2 hour hack across London to show it to my family followed by an hour motorway trip to get it home, and it never skipped a beat. It's a wonderful car!

Indeed I have had it up to 70mph (ish 😉 ). Today I had the opportunity to try out the automatic parking and it's better than some much more recent systems I've tried.

Once I've given it a proper birthday (it's at used car dealer standards of clean, I need to do more!) I'll get some pics up.
