Not when you have to fix them. The 430s can be considered affordable but the 460s require a lot more (expensive) maintenance than the 430. If you're looking for an actual bargain look at a 2015 es 350. It's not an Ls but is is still very nice and you will be able to keep it nice without going broke.
@@MSG685 true, no where near the experience of an ls though lol. I had the maintenance in mind. Control arms, brake actuator, mark Levinson amp, valley plate, list goes on. Gotta keep in mind these where close to 100k dollar cars at the time.
And your going to pay to fix a $100k car. Honestly if you pick one up for 12k and you spend 15 to get it sorted you would have a great car for 27k. If you only have 12k get a Camry. @@Stonedanteater
I have a 2014 LS460. The car comes standard with 386 hp, not 360 hp. Around town and mostly town, I've been getting 14-15 mpg but on the fwy, more than 25 mpg, which is not at all bad. The car has very decent acceleration, and virtually nothing has needed to be fixed. Just fluid changes and basic upkeep and it just goes. Very quiet. The car holds 4 people extremely well and very comfortably. It's a really nice ride, and when picked up used in almost any year, with low milage, you can't go wrong. No I do not sell cars, I just like the LS460, as it is a very good car to own and drive comfortably.
The AWD model as shown in this video makes 360hp and its because it produces peak torque lower in the rev range which helps with AWD. normally they are 386 hp with RWD.
I got a 2013, ls460 awd, I believe that the awd actually does have closer to 365 hp while the rwd has the full 385 hp. I bought it and got a 3rd party warranty through endurance im glad I did bc the car had 74xxx miles when I bought it and I knew that issues would arise soon regardless of how well made the car was, after getting all 4 struts replaced for a $100 decidable, instead of the $2700 the shop would have charged me. Fantastic car all around, but I wouldn't get one without a warranty
@James-bx6yd great car so far. I had to change the brakes and rotors. Also had to overhaul the AC system. No other issue so far. But its very pricey to maintain but very reliable.
I just bought this car and it drives like a dream , my only complaint is that theres no where to rest your phone and the cup holders are very small and im coming from driving a pick truck for 9 years my Sierra had 6 huge cup holders in the front alone easily fit my Yeti and i had a spot for my cell phone and even a tablet ! I can barely stick a medium cup of coffee from McDonald's and im not exaggerating! Lol Im more of a truck guy I bought this to drive in the meantime the next Sierra model comes out and I only sold my truck cuz someone made me a big offer i couldn't turn down
I just bought a 17' black on black with black lexus rims, absolutely beautiful car. I love the drive and will keep as a garage hot rod when im old 😅 thats the plan anyway
We just got 2 weeks ago a 2008 Lexus LS460 RWD and definitely love it and we get our 91 premium in our car when we get gas we switched out from our 10 Toyota Avalon limited to the LS460 both my wife and I are so very thankful
Just picked up a 2014 with 150K on the odometer. One owner, clean history, serviced by Lexus dealer every 5k and performed all recommended maintenance. Paid $18k for a $80k car. I’m looking forward to the next 150k miles of ownership. Did the apple CarPlay upgrade work well?
It might be. But I would also nominate a 2003-2011 Lincoln Town car. I have a 2004 TC and there is nothing quite like it as far as how it drives, comfort and reliability. Did I mention parts are cheap.
I thought you stole my car, I had to check the garage. Silver AWD 2016 Black interior, soft close doors. But when you got to Apple Carplay, I don't have that. So I guess you didn't steal. Bought three years ago with 60,000 miles, runs great, no issues don't put many miles on, now has 70k miles. The only issue is at night with the black interior the car is really dark when you get in or out.
The higher trim, the L, costs a little more than the regular 460. This one was had for just under $35k. So I’d guess around $40k used. MSRP on the L is $78k.
Have you compared it with the LS430 in terms of quietness at speed, road noise/wind noise, is the LS460 better? There seems to be many different opinions online. The obvious would be that the newer models always are quieter.
That is a nice review on a very nice car. One thing that would that would make it better is if you would have referred to all of the different items as "the", and not "your", it's proper English to say "the" it's improper English to call things that are not actually ours "yours" for obvious reasons.
This generation has been seen to do past 400k miles and more. You don't know what you're talking about. The only real problem they have is the brake actuator and that's not even common.
@@Oliver2020. Who cares? Only poor people want to drive a cars with 100k's miles on it. I had a rx450h and it was so incredibly boring i couldn't wait to get rid of it...
@@pete23234 I don’t remember asking what POS you were driving. How about you bring some useful information to your comment instead of crying over some ugly suv you drove at some point in your boring life.
@@pete23234 if you had an RX450H then you were the boring one for driving such an ugly SUV. Nobody cares about money when buying anything worth 70k and above so why you’re bringing up being poor is completely irrelevant and stupid
That’s true, but the fourth generation (which is same gen as this LS) does not have the V8, aside from the GS-F. The second and third generation GS had the V8 with the third generation having this same V8.
@lafemmebearMusic many of the same engines? You know nothing about Lexus 😂😂 Lexus just put the 2GR in the LS… GS used the 4.0 4.3 & 4.6 & they didn’t sell nearly as much as the 3 & a half liter
Simply a piece of art that comes with a lot of comfort. Every time you get inside one of these, you feel that you’re in business class.
I agree! It feels like you're stepping into a noise isolation chamber when you sit in it. You can really relax.
These used LS are such bargains tbh
Indeed, great car for the money
old and outdated

I am planning on getting this car next month, I'm so excited. Thanks for going so in depth on this review!
You love it. I got mine 2 months ago. 2015, 1 owner, 46k miles
@@Roblas69how much the price was ?
What's your experience so far with 460 ?

how was the purchase chuk?
@James-bx6yd great car so far. I had to change the brakes and rotors. Also had to overhaul the AC system. No other issue so far. But its very pricey to maintain but very reliable.
A beautiful car, no doubt. However, the LS460 is the most complicated and expensive to repair Lesus. I'll stick with my 06 LS430.

Good review. I like sports cars and all but nothing beats a comfy cruiser especially on long trips.
I’ve bought 2 LS’s and a GS, Lexus does it for me
I just bought a 17' black on black with black lexus rims, absolutely beautiful car. I love the drive and will keep as a garage hot rod when im old 😅 thats the plan anyway

All I want is my my dream car, it will always be a 2017 LS 460L AWD!!! 🙏🏼😍
I have it, I 💜 it‼️ The last LS V8s
I have a 2015 GS350 and the quietness in my car comes from the dual pane glass on the driver and passenger side windows.
I actually did not know it was dual pane glass in the front. Good to know.
Thank you for such good review!
What's proper recommended maintenance other than regular oil changes?
As an owner of a 2010, YES they’re the best 😭 It’s not insane speed but 5.3 to 60 is still better than most cars on the road.
My dream car.
Hi
Timing belt etc??? Cost experience's
please reply
Just picked up a 2014 with 150K on the odometer. One owner, clean history, serviced by Lexus dealer every 5k and performed all recommended maintenance. Paid $18k for a $80k car. I’m looking forward to the next 150k miles of ownership. Did the apple CarPlay upgrade work well?
Yes it works very well. Usually seamless on startup
It might be. But I would also nominate a 2003-2011 Lincoln Town car. I have a 2004 TC and there is nothing quite like it as far as how it drives, comfort and reliability. Did I mention parts are cheap.
What type of mod is that to add Carplay and similar to this car? It doesn't look like a VLine, maybe it's cheaper.
250k miles, bruh this dude Matt Farah had one that went over a Milly. Although a 430 ls, im pretty the 460 can last just as long
That's crazy, it's Toyota reliability for you.
I thought you stole my car, I had to check the garage. Silver AWD 2016 Black interior, soft close doors. But when you got to Apple Carplay, I don't have that. So I guess you didn't steal. Bought three years ago with 60,000 miles, runs great, no issues don't put many miles on, now has 70k miles. The only issue is at night with the black interior the car is really dark when you get in or out.
I agree with the darkness, sometimes a bit hard to see in there especially with the soft led lighting.
Side note : The RWD LS460 from 2013 -> 2017 boasts 386 hp and 367 torque!
How much does a Lexus Ls460, the highest trim, cost?
The higher trim, the L, costs a little more than the regular 460. This one was had for just under $35k. So I’d guess around $40k used. MSRP on the L is $78k.
I like the 13-15 gs350 fsports more , these are nice to
I have a 15 gs350 and I’m stuck between the LS460 and the LS500. I’m a sucker for boats 😂
@@FriscoLexusBabe415 those are nice to but I still prefer the aggressive body style
@@Gospeed777 shit do you have an LS? Let’s trade! I got 105k on it and it’s an f sport.

There seems to be many different opinions online. The obvious would be that the newer models always are quieter.
You're goddamn right.
Just got a ls460l all I need now is an bmw m4 lol
Does this have dynamic cruise control?
The car in this video does not but the option is available.

I thought the interior would at least be as good as my 2007 s65 since mine is so much older
It’s way better you clown.
I used to be a Lexus fan boy, esp the LS. But starting tbis gen from the mid 2000s, everything went downhill. So disappointing.

No, It’s onee of the worst, check out the recall and repair history on them, they are ticking time bombs
Not true. There were sunt bugs but lexus addressed them after 2011.
Actually, the gs and ls shared many of the same engines except for the hybrid v8 I want folx to do basic research before making videos
