I know this ain't really about the vid, but which one of the Lexus LS460s from 2007 to 2010 is the best to purchase nowadays? I've seen a ton of your vids and you seem to be a expert on those generations since you've had 'em all. I'm thinking of getting one for myself, but I'm kinda worried about the control arm and suspension issues around 150k miles since I know its a common problem for those. Do you know if all of 'em have this issue or if one year is worse than the others?

2014 LS460, now 7 years into the ownership, bought used. Other than a rain sensor for the windshield wipers fixed under warrantee, just routine maintenance, an essentially pain free 7 years without problems. A very quiet, comfortable and very adequately powered vehicle. Poor milage around town and >25 mpg on the freeway. We plan on keeping the LS for at least another 10 years. The loss of value each year used, is much lower than the initial 3 years after being bought new. We kept a 1998 LS400 for 19 years that had minimal defects needed to be fixed. An overall terrific car. I also have an RC350 F-sport, but continue to enjoy this car. The RC is another car I plan to keep until it dies. The car companies are putting in a lot of high tech, but these cars truly kick butt and are hassle free. Interestingly, oil changes at the dealership end up costing less than the independents. Go figure.

@@craigspringer4988 The control arms, which I had the seller replace before I bought it, and the 4 air struts, which I replaced with the Strutmaster kit are likely to go bad. Heavy cars are rough on suspension. The alternator went out at 145k miles, which cost $400. Big deal. The transmission cooler line started leaking where it ran into the radiator. That cost $1100 for a new radiator and related items. Didn't like how a plastic nipple on the radiator caused the need for a whole new one, but so it goes.

I just bought a 2017 LS Select Midnight Edition F Sport, caviar paint, 17,360 miles, $42K plus bought a 5yr 100k mile comprehensive warranty for $2400 more. Love everything about it but my “edition” wasn't mentioned in this video. I’ve Googled the car but found only a few articles and one video on it. Maybe someone here can direct me to a better resource (I’m already on Club Lexus)? Love the car and have only just begun exploring the many features the LS has. Drives like nothing ive ever experienced yet has the braking and handling approaching sport sedan levels which makes it safer in everyday driving. I love how the air suspension (covered by the warranty) responds to the different “mode” changes. In just three weeks I’ve put almost 2600 miles on it and I’m far more refreshed after each trip than in any other car I’ve driven. I was hoping this video explored more of the operation of the LS’s different features. I found it odd that the narration didn't match up with the images/content being displayed. Still, a great video.

The Lexuses haven’t needed any warranty work yet but the Infinitis have and the Infiniti dealerships happily accept the Carmax warranty. My Lexus dealer said they accept it as well. Finding the right LS took me more than 6 months of daily searching on Carmax, test driving several before the right one turned up just 150 miles away. I had it transferred (free) to my local Carmax and the rest is history.

I always agree with your comments, though I have to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of ultra-sporty Sparco-clone seats in everyday cars. I rent every new car available since I live near an exclusive airport. I love them all in different ways, but when I get back into my basic 2015 Prius I’m like ahhhh, I love these seats! For an everyday car I don’t need crazy bolsters like the 23’ IS350, Porsche Cayenne or any new BMW. I don’t appreciate having to pinch my knees together while cruising HWY 1 or just commuting for extended periods of time. I’m only 5-9 165 lbs but I still feel cramped in any F-Sport seat, my thighs end up sitting atop the the bolsters it’s so ridiculous. An S2000 and I’d appreciate it, but for an everyday driver? No thank you. Let’s bring back a base package with more leisurely and less restrictive seats please.

@@jarretallen5368 I have 140,000 miles on mine now. I had to change several things. The parts are expensive but worth it. At 50,000 miles. It’s perfect. I don’t know how many miles you drive a year but I drive mine for work close to 50,000 miles a year. By all means try to get an extended warranty. The break booster is going to go out really soon. That’s $2600, I will place the rear shocks that was $800, I replace the front Paul joints. I had a 2008 which had the same problems. at 140,000 miles the fan will go out. That’s just standard be prepared for that expense. At 100,000 miles you have to change the belts and you have to change all the fluids. I spent a lot on my car. But it keeps on ticking and keeps taking a licking. I change the oil every 5000 miles and let me tell you something it keeps on going like brand new. Please don’t forget to change the rear differential every 50,000. Do the same thing with the transmission oil. Any questions email me

Wonderful video with great detail. What is your take on ride comfort and sound insulation in this LS 460 vs the previous LS 430? I bought a 2006 LS 430 new and have been driving it since, and I feel spoiled for smooth ride comfort. Finally looking to replace it soon. I'm considering a 2016-2017 LS 460 or a 2023 Genesis G90.

Traded my 2006 ls430 for the 2017 LS 460. Quality is better is 430 love the power and newer tech in the 460. They are both smooth love and regret at same time. If you can keep both do it.

I had a 2015 LS460 and it was nothing like my 2004 LS430. The 2015 never drove as smooth as my 2004. I kept complaining about it to the dealership and they told me that Lexus had made the suspension more sporty and that was reason I felt it felt jittery is the only way I can explain it. The death of that car for me was when I drove my Mom's 2007 E320 bluetec to work one day and it out drove and out road my 2015 LS. I was done with it. I don't know why Lexus had to screw up the ride of the 2004. Unfortunate for sure
@MeynMotorGroup Жыл бұрын
It's almost certainly just your LS 460. There have been so many inconsistencies with post 2013 Lexus products and the way they drive. Literally nobody talks about this, you can get into one Lexus that drives amazing and then into another that feels like dirt. Actually even with new Lexus products, I drove 3 new LS 500s and 2 felt like being in a wind tunnel, the third one was absolutely silent. It makes no sense and nobody can explain it.
