Honestly I would not spend the money to be honest. I’ve heard many people say the 430 rides better also the 430 will never die haha. It will be the more reliable car and that’s the beauty of the 430. You want S class luxury with a smooth V8, Lexus made it and unlike the Merc it’ll last. The only real thing you will gain by moving to a 460 is a 100 more HP, for street driving I’m sure the 430 is fine. But I really appreciate you stopping by glad you found value with the video

@@johnjarosky2763 both of you should get an REALLY good extended warranty like now; my GWC warranty has already paid for itself twice and I'm locked in for the next 3 years or 36k miles. also word to the wise please do yourself a massive favor and take it to Lexus almost exclusively. yes it will cost more but TRUST ME even my high school "friend" that was supposed to be a great mechanic and works at what appears to be a reputable shop completely screwed me. I could go on but at any rate I am picking my Lexus back up from Lexus on Friday and the anticipation is practically building by the minute. I just love this car, for all of what it is and know I'll be good for a very long time when I get it back this time. & to answer your question on the 460L John it is honestly worth whatever you think it is worth in combination with it's condition and so forth. I would say 30K easily with that low of miles. honestly. but if u buy it clearly u should note that it is 70k MSRP so if the repairs outweight the KBB value you should honestly just pay for them done anyway. & again; extended warranty, just make SURE you READ YOUR CONTRACT so you can know your policy and use it properly. Cheers! Long live thy Lexus

I owned a 1990 LS400 and it was a magic carpet. 96,000 miles and 5 years later and it was like new... NO ISSUES EVER! Lost it during a divorce and have paid a fortune in and out of cars I could afford. BUY ONE OF THESE... they are made so well that they make FORD feel like go carts. That slit in the side of the door is most likely to allow you to defrost your window faster. These engineers are always thinking up ways to blow us away. Thanks for the honest review.

Very good video. Appreciate it. There is a 2010 with 80 K miles at the local Toyota dealership. Was just put on the lot. Absolutely beautiful black on black. Mint. But the issue with the control arms scares me. Apparently 2011 and 2012 are vastly improved, but pricing is much higher everywhere you look. Clearly everyone knows Lexus fixed the final two years of this particular model. Frankly I think the smart thing to do would be to go for the ES, like my mom did. Or the LS 430 from 2005 or 06. Reliability on steroids.

This channel has better quality than people with 100,000 subs. Seriously, thank you for all the effort.

But I couldn't find one low milage in my price range so I ended up getting a IS250 and I couldn't be happier. Wish I got the 350 but I couldn't find one not beat up with high miles. My criteria was it had to have all maintenance records and had to be one owner. Wasnt hard to find a ls460 like that but they were all overpriced. Oh well the IS is the first car I can achieve 20mpg(I have a heavy foot) and I love that little car.

Great review Kevin. I recently bought a similar 08 460 L (silver w black interior). It has the exec seating package and was really well maintained by the 2 previous owners. The Lexus headphones had never even been opened up, ha! LOVE this car! Also, I had it inspected before buying and from this knew that the only big issue were the control arms (thanks for covering this in your review). In case it helps others, I paid $400 for the control arms from a US company, and my local trusted mechanic charged $1900 to install, as it’s a big job. Took them a day and a half. Now it is driving much, much better as the bushings were completely worn. I’d def recommend this car bc of the big engine and massive rear seat leg room (I’m 6’5” and it’s good).

I was thinking about 2014 GX460 luxury trim or the 2008-2010 LS460 or the LS600hL which one of these would you recommend overall? I drive in Houston which has a lot of bumps, dips, cracked rough roads in most areas in TX plus lots of flood during the hurricane season :( which means I have to have some tough vehicle that can handle the bumps a lot better and smoother at the same time ride-frienldy for my senior parents! Currently I deal with constant repairs on my ES in suspension area: shocks, struts, control arms etc. I'm sick and tired of mechanic ripoffs! Btw all the two Lexus models i owned i noticed the delay hiccups of the transmission which I didnt like at all. I am glad you mentioned in this video, (no one else mentioned in their reviews) I dont wanna go back to Acura which was my first car.

I would recommend the GX then because the LS has very weak suspension as well and will be even more costly in the long run then the ES. An SUV in general would be best for you and the GX is on a proper body on frame so it's very tough. Gas mileage won't be great but the car will hold up. If you want to save more money, The toyota highlander and the 4runners are great too. The 4runner is basically the GX. Hope this helps and again very sorry for the late response

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

On the 2008 ls460 I have, I can adjust the s suspension from comfort to sport. It drops the height and corners much tighter without the sway. Also, It has a ride height adjust separately. They make huge differences.

We have similar taste in cars! We had a Stinger GT2 and Veloster Turbo and just traded the Stinger on a CPO '17 LS460L on Friday before I saw this video! The Lexus had 47k miles and came with a 4-year unlimited mileage warranty, was about 43% off the $99k original price and the dealership experience was great! Doesn't get much better of a Luxury car experience! Great video, all very interesting - surprised how little has changed on the car in 10 years (up to the LS500 of course, but can't afford a new one!). By the way, I think those slats on the doors are for air flow to defog the side windows.

Get a clean low mileage example from a Lexus dealer,if you can find one. I have this very car,in silver. Very understated,blends in. 380bhp is still about 330 or so to the wheels. 80-130mph is still a damn hoot,and it can hold its own.

Actually every time I floored it in this video this car was getting up to 80 mph lol and you’re not joking this thing hauls like crazy. This is definitely Kia Stinger/Genesis G70 fast but even more pull up top due to it being a NA V8 no nonsense turbos. Great car really love it!

Many of the refinements in the later model LS 460 are a result of ECU / Transmission code updates. This setup also does FULL diagnostics on everything! For about $100, you have dealer tech access / capability. My VIM & Techstream are on the way.

I actually have to agree, after reviewing the LS430, my most recent review as of right now, the 4.3 engine was so much smoother. To the point where I now understand how Lexus was able to balance a bunch of wine glasses on the hood and run an LS400 on a dyno. The LS460 is a smooth car too but not like that but like you said the 460s are pretty quick. I would say after 05-06 when they stopped producing the LS430 they did take a bit of a dive but for a lot of people shopping used, they see that the 460s cost about the same amount as a 430 so I still do recommend it but just get an extended warranty. Despite this any Lexus will be more reliable then a German car, those are lease only
