I have a 2014 LS460, now 10 years old. Around town 13 mpg and on the highway 25+ mpg. Other than a windshield wiper sensor that was replaced under warrantee many years ago, the car has been bullet proof with no other mechanical or other issues in 10 + years. I understand that you purchased a high milage vehicle. What did you expect? If you plan to drive locally and not on the highway, then expect poor mileage but a great ride with comfort and very good acceleration. On the highway, smooth and quiet. Given that this is a V8, 25+ mpg is not bad. My other car is a recent RC350 F-sport, which I thoroughly enjoy. I get 32-33 mpg on the highway. I wish you well in your endeavors.
It would be nice to see more content on this LS460. I can tell you're exhausted and possibly jaded with this vehicle. Someone else would be happy to take it off your hands
Having watched the series, glad you saw it through the other side. Something is whacked on your mpg on the highway, I’ve got no suggestions for you on that. It is a flagship vehicle and rides like one. And it will always be flagship $ to maintain. Owner of a 08 ls600hL speaking.
Wow! Glad you finally got it all sorted out. It's definitely a sharp looking luxury sedan. My neighbor has a 2014 black LS460L with a wicked aftermarket exhaust, that making it sound more like a Mustang GT.
My 2016 LS 460 is sitting at 199,244 miles and I will hit 200,000 this weekend. I think a lot of it comes down to the maintenance of the owner. I have been meticulous in my ownership since I bought it brand new and it has been flawless. I hope to hit 250,000 by it's 10th birthday and see what happens from there. Based on when I plan on retiring I should hit 500,000 miles with no problem. I am a Regional Manager for my company and average around 25,000 miles a year. Also, I have the RWD model so I can tell you your mpg is bad because of that. I get 27-28 on the highway with 18-20 mpg in city bumper to bumper.
@@destytayzo77 still running great. Just went out and looked at the odometer I’m sitting at 206,156 miles. Before the end of the year I’m going to have the timing belt changed and a few other maintenances done. It is my daily driver so I try to take good care of it.
@@SuperSnakePlissken I just bought an 07 Ls 460 I need a strut and brake actuator it's the first car I've ever had really want to take care of it. It's got 170k miles it rides better than any car I've been in. I'd like to change the oil and sparkplugs next week.
These cars are more elaborate than any other LS' before it. I've enjoyed mine for a year than sold it before anything happened. Very nice LS you have there too!
Thanks for letting us ride along with you on the journey. I've got a 2011 LS460 so I get the appeal. These are thirst but are wonderful on long road trips. The mileage you're getting is really bad, though. Road trips should be seeing 25-27 mpg.
I'm really happy it worked, I was the guy who suggested it has to be the injectors from your last video... When a car misfires, emit black smokes and no obviously air leak with a smoke machine, with high positive or negative fuel trims.... It's the injectors... Now what I find weird about this Lexus design is on other cars it uses D.I for only higher speeds then port injection for low speed but in Lexus/toyota design they both work simultaneously even at idle speed the there's a D.I bias on higher speed... It's crazy. Enjoy your ride bro, happy motoring... Just be on top your maintenance and you're gold... Isn't as unreliable as the internet makes it seem.
Still reliable than most Americans or German cars. 😂 once he got this fixed, it will last even more miles unlike other cars that getting issues every months or weeks even.
Marty I'm so glad you were able to resolve the fuel injector issue! BTW after hearing your injector issues I happened to price the ones for my 2017 LS (the part number is Lexus 2320939155B0 for the first set, $300 ea. and for the "port" injectors it's 23209-38060, $142 ea.) as always aftermarket can often be found dirt cheap if it's the only ones that are in reach right now, $106 for 8 injectors (no price given for the set of 16, since 8 of those in the set need to be for "PORT" ones), better than none! Every mechanic has been there, the impossible repair, that turns out to be something you'd never expect. It must have crossed your mind, that you got the car when you did, for the price you did (IDK what you paid for this car) because the previous owner couldn't resolve the problem either? I worked for a fleet for 30 years and saw a lot of huge mistakes, but nothing like this - wrong injectors fitted? This is the kind of thing I'd never even be prepared to find, let alone to fix. Also about the best "for lack of a nail" stories/automotive category, I ever heard.
I think many or most mechanics might never have detected that 8 (or 16? for owners who haven't gotten this far into the LS yet, the LS 460 uses 2 fuel injectors per cylinder, so when shopping parts 8 of those need to specify they are "port injectors") of the injectors had been replaced by the wrong type! It would have taken a really good mechanic to spot this problem. Turns out Marty is that really good mechanic... No wonder he was ready to dump the car!
@@SuperSnakePlissken I don't really get it. What makes it German? Aren't these manufactured in Japan anyway? I live in Germany and never ever have I seen a Somewhat modern German Car that might put so much headaches to one for Months.
If I may, i recommend either a chrome delete on this vehicle or painting the rims to chrome. With the chrome accents, it would make it appear so much better to do one of those things. Naturally, mechanical is the priority:)
Me too but, some folks like black wheels, I see a lot of Lexus coming with black wheels even from the factory. So somebody out there is buying them. Not us, but somebody is.
Yaaaaay finally~~ That LS 460 looks stunning~ And I'm surprised that Lexus built such an unreliable vehicle, since it's Toyota/Lexus, it's supposed to be bulletproof reliable.
I would say it's unreliable compared to the standard benchmark Lexus is known for. However, outside of that scope, it is reliablie compared to the BMW 7 series, Mercedes S class and Audi A8 it competes with.
A lot of the bad reputation of the LS460 cars, is because some of the optional equipment packages, installed assemblies that later proved troublesome and/or expensive to fix. The optional air suspension was one of those. It was reliable, for a while, but pneumatic systems in general are not usually known for bullet-proof reliability. And when the air suspension broke, the repair cost (just one of the 4 air shock struts could cost almost $2,000) could often be more than the car might be worth. So a lot of those owners, faced with a fix-it or dump-it decision, opted to switch back to a conventional suspension (the kit to do this is about $1,000, or, one could simply unplug the Suspension Control ECU and get roughly the same result, but free). I bought my 2017 LS in May 2023. It is rear wheel drive (vs all wheel drive and all its added hardware), and without air suspension. If it had either of those things I would have bought another car instead.
I am now working on our 2011 LS460, heat exchanger (valley pan) reseal. NOT a fun project, I’ve been a farm mechanic for 40 years, worked on tractors, harvesters, farm trucks and this is the worst. 1 injector broke while disconnecting the terminal. I am very cautious installing the various new parts as I Do Not want to do this a 2nd time! So sorry you had so many problems but I see why! Mike
Except for the valley plate, which lexus will reimburse you for, your issues are not a common occurrence at all. You bought a lemon. The reliability of your year in consumer reports is perfect in nearly every category. And given since of the parts you’ve used to replace it with to save money, I’d say it’s STILL a lemon. Glad it’s worked out for you in the end.
Hey Marty thanks for the videos! So I've been working on my 07 with 193k. Had a bad valve cover leak. I did both sides but I'm getting a leak on the driver side. I did everything to spec and used oem gaskets. Any help will be extremely appreciated.
16 mpg hard to achieve on the highway 👀🤷🏾♂️all that hard work you’ve put into that engine bay, reminds of a saying “ he who feels it knows it “. So whether to keep or sell ? We respect your decision either way and it’s been great content along the way.
Hi there, thanks for your videos. Are you still looking to sell the LS 460? Curious about asking price, mileage, suspension condition, etc. Thanks again.
I have a 2011 ls. Any idea what would cause low idle with no load on the engine? If I turn on the headlights it idles perfectly w/o low idle. Any ideas?
Damn bro this is one of the first like your story. In my neck of the woods, South Carolina, we are looking for these cars all the time that motor and the one in the previous tundra and Sequoia cannot be beat. They are almost bulletproof. I’m sorry you got a bad one,. Mine has 150000 and runs like a scalded dog. These do not make the best DIY projects Toyota is about a foot deep in everybody’s butt but it’s a lot better than the new stuff they’re coming out. You get a new LS 500 from 40,000 ridiculous.
It is probably the prettiest LS model, and the right colour. But understand that it can feel like the money is running out of the wallet. Petrol is expensive in your country, but here in Norway it still is. Too bad you don't feel you can keep it. But the electric car is naturally a completely different cost saver. I'm having the same problem here. Have several cars, I could think and use them for the weather, but the cost of fuel... Yes, it kills a lot of the joy of using them often. Greeting Pål (Paul)
@@MartyMotoring Yes, you have to think about what is most important right now. You can probably buy cars later too! If you started for yourself and want to build up your own company, this takes time and money doesn't always come easily. Good luck!!! Greeting Pål (Paul)
Nice! I just reset it and verified with a short highway trip, I got around 22mpg and a rate of 80mph. I’m sure it could do better with flat terrain and lower speeds
I'm looking at a 2008 LS460 that has an engine knock. Only $4,000 and a used engine is about $1,000 my thing is time... how much time to replace the engine without a car lift? Anybody have an idea?
With 215k miles on it, whether you paid the full price at the dealership or DIY you still would've spent way less compared if you owned one of the German alternatives.
I added it up, and it’s like 11-12 Saturdays over the last 8 months, maybe a 4-5 hours each go. Plus filming. Time wise, it was free technically, although I couldn’t imagine paying a shop all the hours lol. I will never get back what I put in though, sadly. Just how it goes with cars
Informative, but proves DIY isn't normally time or cost effective for compex modern vehicles. Marque specialists have tools and diagnostics to provide professional cheap solutions compared to dealers.
I've a 2014 LS460 and after 10 years of ownership, other than routine maintenance, I have spent $0.00 on repairs other than routine maintenance. Your impression must be questioned, IMO.
How much are you asking for the car , I have a 2016 F Sport and my brother keeps asking me to sell him the car. If the price is right he might be interested in this one
I never heard anyone mention the LS460 is the least reliable Lexus... Not sure where you got that from. The most expensive to Maintain, yes that I heard a lot.
I’ve seen it on forums and heard it from a few people. Relative to other models I’ve owned, it has the most known issues and needs more maintenance. I went into it knowing that, having fixed up many cars, but didn’t expect it to fight me along the way lol.
@@MartyMotoringi thought that was only the ls460 before the facelift, but your video solidifies that it also applies to the double facelift model 13+ years
Dude I’m not sure you’d even see this but I’d be willing to buy it off you. I could dm you my info if you want to reach out in case it’s still for sale. Love your videos keep up the work bro!
I just filled mine up yesterday, and spent $102 , here in Chicago gas is $5.20 for premium, but since I'm in the city my job is only 7 miles away , even if it wasn't I've never driven anything less than a V8 . Me personally I don't need my LS either it's actually a 3rd car but I love it . I would keep it if I was you especially after all the blood sweat and tears you poured into it 😂
I’m the guy that doesn’t like spending a lot on repairs and would rather do it myself. Cars are depreciating assets…That’s why I buy Lexus to begin with 😅 They retain value. The $6000 I saved can pay for a lot of upgrades at my house 😎
@@MartyMotoring whatever floats man! Cool deal 👍🏼 Thought you were a diehard for these as some of us may be, so I was bummed you put me through a journey to announce you don’t want to keep it in the future
True, it was just the direct injectors plus all the gaskets and valley plate which was pretty involved due to all the labor. But I faced leaks, troubleshooting and bad injectors along the way so it wasn’t as straight forward as it seems, and the codes led me to believe other things were wrong along the way. For example, the throttle body connector broke so I have to wires up a new pigtail for that. The plastic gets so brittle unfortunately and little things like that set me back.

I want to buy it how much?
Watching from York pa 🎉
I’m based in York 🤘🏻
How much are you asking?
How much are you asking? I live in New Jersey and I am interested.

Its sold yet ?
How much are you asking for the car , I have a 2016 F Sport and my brother keeps asking me to sell him the car. If the price is right he might be interested in this one
I'm interested in it, if nobody has claimed it
I never heard anyone mention the LS460 is the least reliable Lexus... Not sure where you got that from. The most expensive to Maintain, yes that I heard a lot.
I’ve seen it on forums and heard it from a few people. Relative to other models I’ve owned, it has the most known issues and needs more maintenance. I went into it knowing that, having fixed up many cars, but didn’t expect it to fight me along the way lol.
@@MartyMotoringi thought that was only the ls460 before the facelift, but your video solidifies that it also applies to the double facelift model 13+ years
Dude I’m not sure you’d even see this but I’d be willing to buy it off you. I could dm you my info if you want to reach out in case it’s still for sale. Love your videos keep up the work bro!
You waiting 30 minutes to fill up the car? I've given up on Costco gas unless it's first thing in the morning, or the last thing at night.
Usually don’t wait too long but I was in the area and it’s about 40 cents cheaper so I waited 😅
How much are you selling it for ??
How much for the Lexus LS 460
Looking for $14k
how much u want for it ?
AWD V8s rare and as you found out. Cheap if you have time. Most of the work done. 250K miles and still rolling. The usual gaskets and seals.
Yeah! I’m good to go now 😅
I was in the market for an LS460. Your videos helped me NOT to buy one. Thank you! I bought a 2020 Genesis G70 instead! I couldn't be happier.
@@thedevilsadvocate3710 Good job by staying away from that money pit.😊
Lame 👎
How much??
How much r u asking for
Remember cash is king…invest don’t trade
Definitely
How much
sell it. you might break even with all the work you did. take the money and invest it.
Yeah I’m hoping to break even - unfortunately it’s a small car loan so I won’t make anything back to invest
How much you want ???
I just filled mine up yesterday, and spent $102 , here in Chicago gas is $5.20 for premium, but since I'm in the city my job is only 7 miles away , even if it wasn't I've never driven anything less than a V8 . Me personally I don't need my LS either it's actually a 3rd car but I love it . I would keep it if I was you especially after all the blood sweat and tears you poured into it 😂
Yikes! $5.20?! Sheesh lol
How much you want for it?

Selling…. 🤔
But that MPG 😂
Wife may love or absolutely hate me.
Yeah the mpg isn’t great 😅
@@MartyMotoringwhy sell something you basically raised as your own?
yessirrrrrrrrrrrr
The only reason to buy a Lexus is reliability. If it is not there like the LS460, it is pretty much worthless.
I'm getting 24 on the hwy Idk what he's talking about
I get like 16, could be due to the mileage
Love the look of the car, mate! I totally agree-sedans are the best for me too.
Flip it now
I’ll probably lose money but want to find a buyer who will enjoy it and take care of it
This car is not for everybody 💰 you need money so don't recommend it for you😂 mine is so beautiful and is going to last with me ❤
Exactly on point , 🎉
I’m the guy that doesn’t like spending a lot on repairs and would rather do it myself. Cars are depreciating assets…That’s why I buy Lexus to begin with 😅 They retain value. The $6000 I saved can pay for a lot of upgrades at my house 😎
@@MartyMotoring whatever floats man! Cool deal 👍🏼
Thought you were a diehard for these as some of us may be, so I was bummed you put me through a journey to announce you don’t want to keep it in the future
Realistically this wasn’t that big of an issue and was likely messed up from a previous repair, you just spent a lot on guessing the issue.
True, it was just the direct injectors plus all the gaskets and valley plate which was pretty involved due to all the labor. But I faced leaks, troubleshooting and bad injectors along the way so it wasn’t as straight forward as it seems, and the codes led me to believe other things were wrong along the way. For example, the throttle body connector broke so I have to wires up a new pigtail for that. The plastic gets so brittle unfortunately and little things like that set me back.
Lexus still wins when comparing the fixing cost to my evo 10 lol.
I can only imagine lol
Sell it to me!
Jaguar XF 32 mpg
Kill the music…great presentation
Next upload will be something majorly wrong with my Lexus again😅
So far so good! Lol
i change my mind i want to go to buy Toyota Avalon 😂😅
Sell it and get some money back. 100%
Wow all that work just to sale it 🤦🏻
Bro fixed it just to end up selling smh
I’ve kept this longer than my average vehicle which is 9 months before I get bored 😂 Vehicle ADHD
@@MartyMotoring I don’t like that symptom lol but cool deal!
first muahaha
how much are you selling it for?!
