No, unfortunately I sold it about a year and a half ago and I've been regretting selling it ever since, and yes, this car was a tank I'd drive across the planet with one of these Lexus'
As far as I know its somewhere in Connecticut now, the buyer told me he was going to fix it up and drive it til the wheels fell off. I Hope it's still on the road somewhere I'd love to have it back again
That's what puts me off getting one of these, that and the mpg. I have a Toyota Auris (not in the same league i know) but as zero road tax and 60mpg makes it hard to justify changing to one especially as i just use it for running aground
What do you mean by "working air suspension since I fixed it"? I have owned a 1998, 2002 and a 2009 LS and NONE had an air suspension issue (that's a Mercedes problem). You bought a neglected car that was not maintained, accident car and abused. So sad to see an LS Lexus with caution lights on the dashboard... you have no idea what you're driving. This car is a tank, that's why it's still smooth sailing amid all the neglect it has been through! They never quit!!
I'm aware of the condition of that the car was in, that's why I got rid of it. It was neglected. The air suspension did not fail due to the fault of the car. The car sat for a few years before I bought it and rodents wound up chewing through an air line, however the air suspension was extremely worn out. I never said the car was in great shape, nor did I say that I thought it was a piece of junk. I appreciated the car for what it was, got it driveable and sold it to someone else who was wanting to fix it up the rest of the way. I wish i got it in better condition but I didn't get to choose that. Even as abused as the car was, it never left me stranded and always rode down the road like an absolute tank. The lights on the dash were for a transmission solenoid d code. Didnt want to dig into the trans at the time for obvious reasons. Hoping to get one in better condition in the future. I bought the car with the soul purpose of saving it from the junkyard, which the owner told me is what he was going to do with it if I didnt pick up the day that I did, and I believe I did succeed at that since it is on the road still as far as I know somewhere in Connecticut. I didnt want the car to die, that was the main goal
The 4th gen ls460 did have problems with air suspension, failing struts, its common, just the problem with the bushings in the front control arms and the brake actuator, and the Mark Levinson Amp failing.
Vsc is the brake actuator i had the same issue on my 2007 LS460
Very nice 👍
I’m about to buy this car. Would you advise? What are the disadvantages?
Check tape with a rag to make sure it isn’t burning oil. Some bad recall work would have caused that.
Oil Consumption on 2007- 09.
Mine burned maybe like half a court every 5k miles, nothing i considered abnormal for a 180k motor that wasnt taken care of the best.
Do you still have this car? For sure it's more reliable then your 2018 Accord

EVERYBODY WHO SELLS THEIR LS460 HAS GREAT REGRETS.
Is this in the Florida Everglades?
I wish... unfortunately this is actually in western nj
just woundering how much road tax it cost for a year, over here in ireland its 1809 euros, if anybody knows, thanks in advance
It's only about 80 USD here in America
£600 a year for me on road tax in England
That's what puts me off getting one of these, that and the mpg. I have a Toyota Auris (not in the same league i know) but as zero road tax and 60mpg makes it hard to justify changing to one especially as i just use it for running aground
was it sold?
Yes, last I heard shes on the roads somewhere in Connecticut. The buyer came down bought it from me and drove it back there

@@Shazzkid I also had the control arm bushing failure. That's a 100% guarantee failure on these things. Not too big of a deal though thankfully
