    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. 🤷‍♂️😆

    That’s one of the all time rock solid platforms. I don’t think there has been an iteration yet that has been crappy.

Such a great platform. A little “boaty” yes of course but still an awesome ride.

    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

That’s how I wound up in a GS350F Sport instead.

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 .

    Dude - congrats! Two weeks ago I traded my 2013 LS 460 F-Sport AWD (ML, tri-beam, all-weather pkg) in for a 2013 GS 350 RWD becasue I missed having a sports sedan. I loved my LS, but the extended warranty was ending soon, and I did not wanrt to deal with the expensive F-Sport struts or potential isues with the AWD system or expensive electronic bits. While this is an extraordinarily reliable car, parts are expensive, and the air struts seem to go every 60-90K. I did not have any issues other than the analog clock dying, which was replaced under warranty. Check if this car is affected by the brake actuator TSB. You are exactly right - it is a luxury boat, but it's a gorgeous car. The back seats are great for kids. What you've got here seems to be an LS 460 with an F-Sport front facelift with the hard-to-find tri-beam headlamps. Makes me wonder if it might have been in an accident - replacing the front clip is a fair bit of work, and the parts are not cheap. Anyway, congrats!!

    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.

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.

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!

    My V8 Lexus was almost a last minute choice while shopping for the best new-to-me vehicle. Having owned a 2002 V6 Camry, for over 200,000 trouble-free miles, I was sold on the whole Toyota/Lexus product line. It was obvious how almost all other cars pale in comparison, especially to a Lexus (I worked for a large fleet for 30 years and based on that I never wanted Detroit iron ever again).
    Having worked on almost every American car over the years, the difference in workmanship, craftsmanship, and engineering expertise between Lexus and literally ANYthing else you could buy , is so glaringly obvious there's almost nothing to compare it to. Even a BMW or Mercedes loses in the long-term. Compare everything but the price to other cars, and Lexus makes a superior product hands down.

The 460 has a little higher cost of ownership but you get that extra HP Also its more modern along with the amenities. Also you know it's a 2013 with 200k miles on it. Most people will assume that it's much newer. I would buy one. Sure thing. I'm going to subscribe, So keep us up to date for the good and if you find things you don't like. Which i can't imagine there's much not to like. The AWD is actually really cool. I live in the South where it doesn't snow. But I'm from Chicago and with a V-8 rear wheel drive in the snow would definitely be sporty.
