I think Lexus has some of the best quality and reliability. Some people will argue me, but Lexus made other luxury automakers up they're game.

[@ElegantLife_]

Now in days not so much. The competitors definitely knocking them out the box. That GS including the F was a straight failure. It’s sad because I own many of these cars.

[@ElegantLife_]

@Spectacular Spectacular I agree with you. Lexus was a fantastic 90s and early 2000s car. However, they had to cut several cars out of the lineup because they failed and failed hard! Think GS against the 5 series or E class! For every GS I see at least 25+ cars on the road from the competition. HS was a failure out the gate. It sad because Lexus was great but now, for my money, competition is way better.

[@thirstenunger9672]

He's right. Luxury cars didn't step up til after the first LS in '89. But Ill take a Lex over any of the german makes to avoid headaches. My BMW's stayed in the shop where my Lexus stayed on the road. Panache i grew up i realized that thinking a car is better based on the latest technology vs reliability makes no sense at all

[@TheVoiceofTheProphetElizer]

I agree Lexus is the absolute best hands down and no other brand - even here in Summer 2023, which we know is the Summer of Patswain, can keep up with them. And we remember and retain the quote "For when he looked, behold, Lexus appeared before him in the chamber, that those that would know, would know."

[@user-ii5sf8rf2j]

(Making the sign of Patswain) I agree that no other luxxe manufacturer can compete und compare with the Lexus automotive brand or group of manufacturers. For we know that when Patswain gazed down over the Valley of Hirohito, that he gave for those with him the sign of the Tesseract, that they might understand the power that Lexus is and will be under. One commenter foolishly brought up the GS without understanding the fullness of the segment the GS was designed under and within.

This will be my first car! Amazing job bro.

[@redpilledbachelor7776]

That thing is beautiful.

[@Xanomoros]

Brake hold is on even older models! Along with adaptive cruise control and lane departure! They keep the good stuff away from the Americans lol

[@pavonsimmons7247]

You don't need to slam the doors like that because the LS comes with the "soft close" feature.

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Now my first used Lexus sedan I can afford.

[@koreanstallion]

Very nice video! One of the best car review videos I have watched. I am now a subscriber. Good job sir!

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Thanks so much, and I’m glad you found it useful!

[@rjn1124]

Good review. Thanks. I have a 2011 LS460 and still love it. It has 90,000 miles on it and my overall mileage is about 20, as he stated. That being said, I get between 11 and 12 MPG locally and 26 MPG on road trips so it averages out. We just bought an Ioniq 5, which is fabulous so we'll use that locally and on shorter trips and the Lexus for long road trips. I have had no major repairs with this vehicle. I've only had to replace the tires and do oil changes and standard servicing. My mechanic told me that this car will last forever. We'll see. Finally, I really like the styling on these older models. What was Lexus thinking with the introduction of their newer menacing grills?

[@bbsal4031]

I purchased a 2011 460L 5 months ago with 100,000 miles on it. It's above and beyond what I realized. It is an absolute treat to drive. Most wonderful vehicle I've ever had.

[@badmusshina-ayomi3443]

i drive an ls 460 2009 but looking forward to change to 2015 i love this car

[@Xanomoros]

Why not 2016? There were a few minor updates made to the 2016 model. Make sure you get adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist! Makes a huge difference.

[@nechi_kage]

I’m actually getting a 2009 ls460 with 136k miles you think that car is very reliable ? I never owned a ls

[@nechi_kage]

I owned a gs

[@malinoisnation9392]

@@nechi_kagehow’s it going?

[@PHILLIPS8822]

I would love to get one of these LS 460's I'm a Toyota guy through and through but repairs for these Lexus cars are very expensive . I rather purchase a 2017 through 2024 Camry instead

[@marzettewilliams3544]

Love

[@desmondfrancis6038]

Good

[@user-of4em9vi5w]

380hp sir!

[@davidwell686]

Very expensive to maintain so not a great buy for the average person.

[@brandongant618]

Why? 😢 and which model year is yours? How much the cost?

[@hayden93]

Not really, there are some more expensive parts but it’s definitely not bad

[@IIOctaneII]

If you own the car with no monthly payments it shouldn’t be too hard tbh

[@ChachoTrades]

Im late lol but he's probably just a really broke person. A few things to keep in mind with these cars, they take more oil than regular cars. 9 quartz of oil, while regular cars take 5. So oil changes if done by a shop will cost about 150 ish. Regular oil changes are around 100 so it's not much of a difference. Other thing to keep in mind is gas mileage is pretty bad, but its a big body car with a v8 so its to be expected, expect to fill up 100$ a week minimum. Other than that, the car is solid and will drive easily to 300k miles. However, things do go bad like the brake actuator (1500 fix) and bushings on the control arms (around 2500 to fix) and finally the bags for the suspension (Don't bother getting the oem suspension, get coil overs for 1100 and instal for 500 for 1600 total) Now, IF all of that goes wrong, that's what about 4k worth of repairs? you can get a CLEAN 2007-2009 LS460 for 15k, add the 4k of repairs, I say that 20k for this car is a GOOD deal, ALOT of car for the money. Now, if you can't afford those things, obviously don't get this car. But to say an average person can't afford the car is a bit of a stretch. @@brandongant618
