I have a 13 ls460. It’s a great platform. The most comfortable car I’ve owned by far. Incredibly quiet and spacious. I got the rwd version, so there is plenty of power. Thanks for making this video, would be interested seeing a muffler swap for something that allows the beautiful v8 sound to be heard a little better (without totally compromising the luxurious aspect of the car).

I did the exact opposite. I started looking at LS460s, but just didn't care for the seating position. No matter what I did to adjust the seat, my head always felt too close to the ceiling. The suspension and brake actuator horror stories were the nail in the coffin for the LS. I landed on a 16 GS350 F-Sport AWD, and I love it! Edited to add: I'm really stoked to see your ownership experience. Despite the seating position and loving my GS, I still get a small pang of regret every time I pass a nice LS. 🤷♂️😆

Keep an eye out on coolant level. It will blow cold air when the heat is on if coolant is low. They tend to leak on coolant valleys. Abs actuator is a high ticket item. Sunroof gasket becomes britle and makes lots of wind noise. You can’t just swap the gasket. Lexus decided to make it a whole piece with the glass and its around $800 bucks. Overall is a great car. Well built, comfortable and quiet. People swear by Lexus reliability which is true but with age that goes out the window as materials deteriorate

I’m going into this knowing full well that I’ll more than likely have to swap to coil overs and/or replace/upgrade the front suspension! I’ve already looked into Figz and everything should come out to around approximately $3,500. The only “down” side is, the car isn’t black…it’s silver! 😩.

I've been a Mercedes mechanic for 22 years and I swear I will never buy a car from New York or New Jersey. I've seen more issues from vehicles from New York and New Jersey than anywhere else. I had a customer come in and said he just bought it from New York and wanted the car checked over. That car was two separate vehicles welded together, it had 2 VIN numbers.The amount of hackery and Butchery that goes on up there is absolutely incredible. I always tell people never purchase a used car from New York or New Jersey. Just the fact the vehicle is anywhere near New York City stay away. There's a ton of shady shit that goes on up there. Especially if the vehicle was a city vehicle and was driven by anyone in the city. A majority of those people do not maintain their vehicles . Nice car though ! Hope it's a good one for you. I like sedans and don't like SUVs. I'd like to get a 460 but kind of pricey.

Long time sub here. I’m super excited to see this project actually. I sold my is350 over a year ago and regretted it ever since. I’ve been thinking about getting another Lexus platform myself. I had a 22 trd orp 4runner and got tired of the horrible mpg and got a 23 accord hybrid now and it’s a lemon. I’m taking it to the dealer next week to sell it or something but I’m going to be on the hunt for a used higher mileage Lexus I can just pay cash for and enjoy modding it. A big body ls would be perfect or a gs. I loved my is but as you said they are a little cramped. I do believe you should do a compression test on the motor to see how it sits and also be sure you change all the plugs and coils at once. It’s a really bad idea to do one at a time because they all will start failing behind each other and that’s extra labor each time. I’ve had HORRIBLE luck getting away with replacing one coil and one plug. It’s just never a good idea as a performance standpoint also. They do have a lifespan and assume they both need to be done. Look on eBay and find a set of new ones for cheap and go to Lexus and buy the plus. Oem plugs and oem Coils is the only way I’d go. Never use cheap aftermarket coils or plugs on a v8 it’s not worth it. I would think that a better intake will probably give you a significant lower intake air temp and power too esp where it matters. They design those to be as quiet as possible at the sacrifice of power. So keep that in mind they market those towards older folks so a simple intake and exhaust and a tune will bring it over 400 possibly … or close to it. The other thing id do is add a nice subwoofer and amp and do some clean jdm vip wheels. This had jdm vip vibes all over it. ❤ Can’t wait to see more on this ! This might inspire me to get one because your older videos are what inspired me a ton on my is350 back then

I’ve got a 2015 LS fsport bought used in 2018. Fantastic car, no issues until last month with 146k miles. The front driver air shock leaked. Cost 1250 from a discount Lexus dealer. But the air compressor broke too. 2460 for just the part on that. So yeah, super reliable but when it breaks prepare yourself. That 4800 bill came out of nowhere. But now she’s super smooth and making me happy again

2013+ is definitely the way to go, if you can afford it, as Lexus fixed some issues but they are gas guzzlers and require premium gas.
That’s one of the all time rock solid platforms. I don’t think there has been an iteration yet that has been crappy. I was in early high school when the first gen came out and when the older kids would rock their parents ls 400s it was “a thing”. Had a friend that had an ls430 and that was a great car to drive. Such a great platform. A little “boaty” yes of course but still an awesome ride.
I absolutely LOVE my car. I have a 2013 LS460 F-Sport and its a great car. I've had it for 3 years and log about 20K a year on it and it keeps going. It's a beautiful simple well built car with no unnecessary tech. I Do wish it had Apple CarPlay but no complaints.

I picked a 2008 ls 460 20k miles in 2015, and Its still under 50k miles in 2024. It's one of the best cars I have owned. I just have the RWD with Mark Levinson system and practically all other features including chrome wheels.. the engine bay looks brand new and anywhere still smells like a factory fresh, amazing car. I have heard people doing a million miles on this v8. but I wont even get to the 200k that yours have in my lifetime.
They sell a retro fit Apple CarPlay just do that for interior mod and you got your self a great daily
I did the exact opposite. I started looking at LS460s, but just didn't care for the seating position. No matter what I did to adjust the seat, my head always felt too close to the ceiling. The suspension and brake actuator horror stories were the nail in the coffin for the LS. I landed on a 16 GS350 F-Sport AWD, and I love it! Edited to add: I'm really stoked to see your ownership experience. Despite the seating position and loving my GS, I still get a small pang of regret every time I pass a nice LS. 🤷♂️😆

Keep an eye out on coolant level. It will blow cold air when the heat is on if coolant is low. They tend to leak on coolant valleys. Abs actuator is a high ticket item. Sunroof gasket becomes britle and makes lots of wind noise. You can’t just swap the gasket. Lexus decided to make it a whole piece with the glass and its around $800 bucks. Overall is a great car. Well built, comfortable and quiet. People swear by Lexus reliability which is true but with age that goes out the window as materials deteriorate

I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on this! I’m in the process of picking one up as well, but it’s an ‘08. It’s a coworker friend of mine’s and if he does sell it to me at the price he threw out, it’s going to be a STEAL! I’m going into this knowing full well that I’ll more than likely have to swap to coil overs and/or replace/upgrade the front suspension! I’ve already looked into Figz and everything should come out to around approximately $3,500. The only “down” side is, the car isn’t black…it’s silver! 😩. It’s ok tho, because after is all said and done, if I decide to sell, I’m more than positive that I’ll still be able to break even or possibly make a profit on it! Can’t wait for your future vids! 👍🏼

I’d rather have the V8, and now that I’m used to quite a bit more refinement the 460 would probably work for me, but I guess I needed to start somewhere lol 😝 Glad to see you enjoying the new ride already and looking forward to the content !

13-20 GS is a near perfect daily, reliable, great interior, handles well. Only gripe is mediocre gas mileage and I wish it had about 30-40 more hp

There is the Gs400 my Boi They are good. But motor swaps are real 🤷🏾♂️. If not that, you can tune and boost the shit out of the Gs350.
Just dont mess with the injector connectors.
Great video and now I'm looking to purhase one of my own. Thanks
Welcome!!! Just got my 2013 Fo-Sixty as well! Only mod so far is Tesla wheels (which is becoming popular) Coil overs are next! I hope you do a DIY for us!😊
hi, thank you for an informative and interesting video, but can i ask what price did you pay for if you 're comfortable telling? and were you able to fix that issue of those codes?
I’ve had mine for a few months. 2010 AWD LS460. I put a pair of subs in it and added remote start. I love my car. It’s perfect to me
Great content thinking about getting one of these or GS Lexus

I picked up a 2010 LS460 a month ago. 112,000 miles. Aside from TPMS sensors I haven’t had to do anything. Car drives like a dream. From what I have read if you take care of these cars they can go 400,000 miles or more!
I've been a Mercedes mechanic for 22 years and I swear I will never buy a car from New York or New Jersey. I've seen more issues from vehicles from New York and New Jersey than anywhere else. I had a customer come in and said he just bought it from New York and wanted the car checked over. That car was two separate vehicles welded together, it had 2 VIN numbers.The amount of hackery and Butchery that goes on up there is absolutely incredible. I always tell people never purchase a used car from New York or New Jersey. Just the fact the vehicle is anywhere near New York City stay away. There's a ton of shady shit that goes on up there. Especially if the vehicle was a city vehicle and was driven by anyone in the city. A majority of those people do not maintain their vehicles . Nice car though ! Hope it's a good one for you. I like sedans and don't like SUVs. I'd like to get a 460 but kind of pricey.
Beautiful car! All of those items are a quick inexpensive fix especially for someone who does their own work. Congratulations!
Long time sub here. I’m super excited to see this project actually. I sold my is350 over a year ago and regretted it ever since. I’ve been thinking about getting another Lexus platform myself. I had a 22 trd orp 4runner and got tired of the horrible mpg and got a 23 accord hybrid now and it’s a lemon. I’m taking it to the dealer next week to sell it or something but I’m going to be on the hunt for a used higher mileage Lexus I can just pay cash for and enjoy modding it. A big body ls would be perfect or a gs. I loved my is but as you said they are a little cramped. I do believe you should do a compression test on the motor to see how it sits and also be sure you change all the plugs and coils at once. It’s a really bad idea to do one at a time because they all will start failing behind each other and that’s extra labor each time. I’ve had HORRIBLE luck getting away with replacing one coil and one plug. It’s just never a good idea as a performance standpoint also. They do have a lifespan and assume they both need to be done. Look on eBay and find a set of new ones for cheap and go to Lexus and buy the plus. Oem plugs and oem Coils is the only way I’d go. Never use cheap aftermarket coils or plugs on a v8 it’s not worth it. I would think that a better intake will probably give you a significant lower intake air temp and power too esp where it matters. They design those to be as quiet as possible at the sacrifice of power. So keep that in mind they market those towards older folks so a simple intake and exhaust and a tune will bring it over 400 possibly … or close to it. The other thing id do is add a nice subwoofer and amp and do some clean jdm vip wheels. This had jdm vip vibes all over it. ❤ Can’t wait to see more on this ! This might inspire me to get one because your older videos are what inspired me a ton on my is350 back then

VIP would be awesome and yes I did all the spark plugs off camera, just to rule those out. I think the ignition coils are fine at this point and want to see what else it could be. Compression test and injector cleaning might help

Working up to one. I know it's still lexus but the milage is scary of parts go broke. Would sure like more vids on it. Will you mode the car.?
Awesome vid. I have a 2013 LS460 (bought with 72k, about to hit 80k) and I effing love it. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours. May give me some inspiration from your changes. Did you already install an exhaust? My 460 doesn't sound like that! LOL
I’ve got a 2015 LS fsport bought used in 2018. Fantastic car, no issues until last month with 146k miles. The front driver air shock leaked. Cost 1250 from a discount Lexus dealer. But the air compressor broke too. 2460 for just the part on that. So yeah, super reliable but when it breaks prepare yourself. That 4800 bill came out of nowhere. But now she’s super smooth and making me happy again
Big body lexus is the next one we are getting after owning 7 of them you can't go wrong with a lexus even if it has high miles.
My first financed car is a 2010 ls460 lol. I thought it was a basic lexus since im used to seeing is350 fsports etc... at the dealer i sat in it i was like "wow this interior is badass". I pop the hood and im like "it has a damn v8:? I test drove it and it drove like a cloud and had a good amount of power to have fun. Love this car.

I do have a good mechanic, whatever this car needs I will do because I absolutely love it!

I loved my LS400 to death and always thought I would go LS460 next. It didn't happen that way but I'm tempted to keep an eye out for a good deal. Its been in the back of my mind since but had to try something different for now. Lookin forward to picking one of these up some day and cant wait to see your experience with this one.
Subbed for this build. I just got a 13 rwd earlier this year after i wrecked my vvti sc400.
I sold my 13 LS460L (92k miles)in April for a 2020 RX. Man my regret was immeasurable after couple of weeks. LS had some issue such as bad wheel steering. Controls arms and heat didn’t work. All was fixed under extended warranty I bought. It drove like a dream and one of the nicest car I owned. RX was nice but not even close to the driving experience of LS.

My 2004 LS430 takes dumps on most cars i sit in these days. My mechanic says its a hitmans car because the V8 is so quiet... best of the best
What do i think of this car? It's my favorite LS of all times. Such an elegant vehicle, but also way more reliable than anything in the same category. I really want one, but i NEVER found the spec i like. In Canada, they're on all beige inside and out or long wheelbase. I'm subscribing, i want to see where it goes.
My dad bought a 2013 LS460 L when it was brand new and ever since then I’ve had a soft spot for them. Kinda sad he sold it a couple years ago but he kept it super clean and it only had 24k miles after 8 years

Well that's how you get cars home as a dealer, if you have to drive them home. They are still registered in the previous state until paperwork goes through to be registered in the new state. Better than no plate at all! Dealer plate covers the dealership and they have insurance for vehicles in transit.

I just got a 2010 LS 460 AWD with 180,000 on it. I fell in love with it the first time I drove it. It just drives like it wants to be driven hard. I did put some k&n air filters, and replace the cabin filter. Definitely needed. Vacuum a bunch of look like chipmunk or mice stuff out of the air box.. everything seems to be running great on mine. Sure yours will be awesome as well.. One stop hiccup is fixed.
It is my dream car. Exactly this particular trim. Facelift with AWD and Mark Levinson audio system. Too bad their prices have gone up and facelift models were expensive to begin with.
Yeah bud!! Nice grab! I drive a 2015 GS350 F-Sport AWD, and I love it. I've always thought an LS would be a nice car to graduate to when I'm done (will I ever be?) peeling highway exits at 60 mph... lol. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from you.

Does your car shut off when you open the door, if you remote start it? I wanted a remote starter for my 2014 LS, but I heard they all shut the car off when the door opens and you have to restart it when you get in.
