Fortunate owner of an Ls600hl 2016 model with executive package from UAE. Super rare find. Bought it in 2021 for usd 40k. Hybrid battery needed replacement. Over last 3 years replaced hybrid battery, control arms - cost usd10k . Cosmetic stuffs - ceramic coating, tinting, painted break callipers red - usd3k, consumable expenses over 3 years- new 4 tyres, new break pads, cabin filter, engine flush - 2k. I love my car to bits. It drives like a dream... You look forward to long journeys. It comes with a comfort mode only available in this model... Basically for wafting.Acceleration is effortless even at high speeds of 140 kmph. Fully loaded with Gizmos.. InfraRed camera for night time driving, driver monitoring, break hold function, double panel glasses, automated curtains, entertainment TV and massage chairs for the back seat. It even has foldable tables forthe back seats like in an aircraft. Only regret... Not being able to spend time in the back seat - that's where the real fun is... Car is not suitable for families with small kids, from the back seat you can control the entertainment and radio and from the driver side you can't overrule this. One time I was on the highway fast track at 140khph and the rear right tyre burst.. I could feel the benefit of the AWD, car remained super stable and remained in the lane and safe my life.!

Agreed, the 2008 LS600hL is a nice and very responsive ride on the highway. I purchased mine about a year and a half ago after looking at numerous 460's. Aside from some of the maintenance issues I had to resolve after purchase I'm very happy with it. This is my 3rd Lexus vehicle now. I think the hybrid qualities basically just make it a more powerful and more responsive ride overall while getting about the same mpg as the 460. To me it's a nice addition to have I didn't really buy it for the mpg anyway. Thanks for the review I enjoyed it very much!

That was the main thing. As the vehicle has a transfer case with a clutch pack it had some chatter and vibration during slow turns. This was remedied by changing the transfer case oil a few times and using synthetic oil with an additive purposed for limited slip differentials. I changed all the oils in the vehicle and decided to go with Amsoil products for all the lubricant oils needed. So far so good 👍.

One last hope from Lexus: Detuned TTV8 from LFR + hybrid system from Tundra. 500hp+ while getting decent gas milage. This should come with a big refresh with the current LS

Very interesting video. I currently have a pre-facelift 460 L RWD and love it but my wife is going to be learning to drive and I'm just not comfortable with her driving a RWD vehicle in the snow as a new driver, especially one this long. But she really likes this car and wants it when I get a new car. So I am planning to step up to a facelifted AWD but retain the long wheelbase so I can hand that off to her. Of course I'll still get to enjoy it a lot even if it will be her primary car. :) I'm just not sure if I want to get the 600h L or a 460 L. Since I am planning to get AWD and want a long wheelbase anyway, both those being standard are positives in my book. And while the MPG may not seem impressive at first, I find getting pretty similar mileage in an AWD L vs my RWD L is a damn good deal. If I buy a 460 L AWD I will definitely see a loss in fuel economy but not if I get the 600h L That CVT though.. that's what makes me want to just stomach the loss in MPG for a 460 L AWD.

@gureno19

I drove one today, it's not a CVT as you may know it. It's an ECVT on a planetary set of gears so it doesn't have that rubber band feeling of a horrible CVT. The plus side of the ECVT is the LS600 essentially sits at idle speed on the hwy, around 1000rpm, which adds to its quiet ride.

Ls 600h 2008 w/186k can’t help but smile. The car is amazing. The quality in the build won me over.

Owner of an 08 LS600hL. For mpg just wanted to say at 80mph had tanks at 25mpg, at 75mph had tanks at 28.5mpg. Did a lap of the country (USA) this year and it was pretty fantastic. Also wanted to point out the 600 (not sure if same on 460) utilizes Brembo rotors and bespoke sumitomo pads. Combined with the regenerative braking it is such a smooth braking experience.

People who lease them dont care about post-warranty reliability. When it comes to second hand market, thats when their strengths start to make lot of sense. But second hand market does not profit manufacturer. Its kinda good that second hand buyers have such a solid brand to rely on but also kinda sad.

I'm 6 ft tall and in my 430, I can't turn my hand sideways between my head and the roof. In my 460, I can completely put my hand between my head and the roof with it turned sideways and my fingers and thumbs spread. I have the long wheelbase version so comparing rear space obviously isn't fair, but I feel like I can spread my legs way more in the front seats than in my 430. I don't think there is a difference in leg room for the front occupants between the long and standard wheelbase for 460 but I feel like I have more frontal legroom as well in the 460. Honestly, I can't get over just how spacious and huge the interior of the 460 feels compared to the 430. I often find myself just looking around the cabin while driving and marveling at how much room I have. The 430 is definitely roomie inside but the 460 feels so much larger inside even just looking at it. It honestly adds so much to the feeling of isolation from the outside world. It really does feel like I'm in my own world in this car versus my 430.

@@PeugeotRocket i have no clue what you are talking about. Ls460 space seems like a GS compared to Ls430. Starting with the size of the Windows and Winshield. Ls430 center console os tiny compared to the Ls460 thus giving you more seat space. The seats on the ls430 are like couches compared to the 460. Lumbar support on the 460 is also a joke compared to the support you get on the 430. The whole bottom portion of the seat literally slides out.

@@KaiSpeedshop I will definitely go out tomorrow and perform some actual measurements to get a scientific comparison. If you can think of anything else let me know and I'll measure on both cars.

Or just get a Lincoln Town car from an elderly person and wait a couple years till prices cool. 😃

Town cars are getting hard to find. They stopped making them in 2012 and existing ones are going to have so many miles.

@@worldofai-games1036 the nice thing is they last a long time. I bought mine with 151k and it’s now at 183 after a year and a half. As long as you maintain it, they are easy to work on. Just find a southern one.

You have a right to your opinion but these cars sell like hot cakes when we get them at my dealership on the East Coast! I am 6'3 and it is very comfortable for me. Even the ES350 is comfortable.

Like Volvos, oldmans car.

V6 hybrids are enough and way better on gas.

I’m still hopeful I can find a 2013 - 2015 LS600HL that’s not been hammered and neglected. I can’t believe I’ve only just found this great post/info on KZread after all the searches I’ve been doing since October 2022! 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄 This is a great video and very informative! 👍 BTW; anyone got a decent one for sale lmk? (I’m in Dallas TX.)

What's the point of a " F Sport " LS? That's gay lol. You want a sporty car then LS aint it. It's a luxury cruiser the type that Yakuza bosses like to lounge in.

I’m inclined to agree with you, most of the upgrades are subtle, maybe an increase in HP would be a selling point instead of metal pedals lol
