I have a 2015 LS 600hL and my dashboard de-lamented - faulty installation from Lexus. Mine is garaged with 51K miles. Lexus USA did absolutely nothing to correct the problem - not even a return email (classless). The replacement costs were - 16K for new dashboard and 2.5K to install. So I had is re-wrapped and a restoration shop in Denver for 3K. What I also did was legally tint the front windshield to eliminate the UV rays. Disappointed that Lexus did not stand behind their mistake. I want to share my story with all Lexus owners. If you have a Lexus with a leather dashboard - good luck.

I’ve owned my AWD ‘08 LS600hL for 4 yrs (‘19-‘23 time of review). Has Original hybrid battery, 168kmi, still gets 20/29mpg City/hwy. I bought it for $11,000 with a noise in the front air bag cap & check eng light for a $800.00 emission gas sensor. Fixed everything for ~$1400. Replaced an air bag valve on the rear & spark plugs @ 160kmi. The 5.0L engine takes 10qts of oil & 2 air filters but they last many more miles than a normal gas engine between oil changes. My LS was really well cared for, still has a luxury leather smell and feel. Drvr lumbar motor went out but $1500 for new isn’t getting replaced anytime soon… Runs like a top & is a GREAT long trip car. The hybrid models have a “Pwr” switch that enables a larger % of hybrid battery and higher cvt transmission rev availability for instant power, which is one of the awesome reasons to own the 600hL. I don’t NEED this car, but it’s paid for and every time I drive it, it’s such a marvel of automotive perfection that I can’t sell it.

THE BEST THINKING IN SEEKING PERFECTION, SUPERIEOR ON EVERY LEVEL IN ACCOMPLISHMENT WITH REFINEMENT THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. I PURCHASED A BLACK WITH TAN INT. WITH 60K MILES IN 2014. NOT ONE PROBLEM IN 7YRS. FAST, OPULENT, PLUSH, SOPHITICATED, AND GORGEOUS. IT STANDS IN NO VECHILE'S SHADOW WITH AN ABSOLUTE PRESENCE ASSERTING ITSELF HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE COMPETITION. COUPLED WITH RELIABILTY AND THE LEXUS RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF PERFECTION. IF THIS DOES NOT STIMULATE YOUR SENSES THEN YOU ARE NOT ABOVE THE GROUND. IF YOUR ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO OWN ONE FOR CERTAIN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LEXUS STATEMENT SIMPLY PUT "PERFECTION" AND NOTHING LESS. THE IMPECCABLE SUBLIME COMFORT OF A CRUISE SHIP AND EXHORATION OF INDY 500 RACE CAR IN ONE CUSTOM MADE TAILORED SUIT JUST SUPERB IN EVERY WAY HANDS DOWN. NOT TO MENTION FUEL CONSUMPTION IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN IT CLASS. IF THIS IS NOT A CLARION CALL FOR COMPREHENSION I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO ALL HAIL TO LEXUS AND THEIR ONWERS, JUST MAGNIFECENT.
