Hey all! Thanks for the comments! I realize I said SMOOTH way too much in this video LOL. This car just got some newer injectors in my repair series so be sure to check those out. Now it drives much better!
I have a 13 ls460. It’s a great platform. The most comfortable car I’ve owned by far. Incredibly quiet and spacious. I got the rwd version, so there is plenty of power. Thanks for making this video, would be interested seeing a muffler swap for something that allows the beautiful v8 sound to be heard a little better (without totally compromising the luxurious aspect of the car).
How many miles on yours? I have an 08 with 100K bought 6 years ago. Keep hearing on RUclips channels that it’s the worst Lexus for reliability but don’t want to get rid of it because it’s the smoothest Lexus as you may already know lol
@@AJ88874 Clublexus forum will tell you the problems. When something goes wrong on the LS 460s they can be expensive to fix. They can have suspension problems
@@AJ88874 ~145k. It definitely gets pricey if you want to go through dealerships for repairs. It's what I've been doing for mine so far and it's relatively worth it. I know things will get done right and parts are under warranty if I go through my dealership. I got quoted at $5k to replace all control arms in mine. Planning on doing them in December.
@@cdmsvt yea I guess I’ll have to downsize to an ES eventually (more reliable) but don’t want to let go lol..I’ve already driven modern IS, ES, GS and none are as smooth and quiet as the old V8 LS
@@AJ88874 completely agree. I always get a loaner car whenever I take my LS for a fix. They've handed me over the latest IS, ES, RX and none of them compare to how buttery smooth my 07 is. I comeback to my LS afterwards thinking about how effortless it drives. Wind noise drives me crazy though, gotta admit it.
Welcome to the LS experience, I have a 460L 2011 and I'm absolutely crazy about this car I purchased it 2yrs ago it had 111,000 miles on it but still drove and handled like a dream, and since you have one how I've become a subscriber to your channel, I wish you good success with this beauty
I just bought a black 2011 460L with 100,000 miles. I've been looking at Big luxury cars for quite a while on the internet, decided on this one; I couldn't be happier with a car. It's awesome!
Nice video and nice ride. I've been looking for a clean 07 460 for a good price, purchasing mine later today. Can't wait to start upgrading it! I'll be looking out for more of your vids.
200k is fine for a well taken cared of Camry but for a heavy V8 Lexus...that's a lot. Expenses are certainly high for an LS. I know because I had a 2014 LS460.
Love that you're exploring this platform. Being that i currently am an isf owner its nice seeing what its like when you put comfort first and performance second. Honestly with a fatter set of wheels this thing would look even most beast than it already does.
Love it man! Really looking forward to this series. Like you i have an IS350 and it's just too small. I've really been eyeing a 460, and not much info on the 13+ models. The GS is a nice compromise but I'm a sucker for luxury barges.
I recently picked up a '13 GS350 F-Sport. I have never owned a Lexus or any luxury car before and even though it was a used, but very good condition car, it just feels different in a good way. Lexus really know how to build a luxury car with performance and not lose their reliability.
Nice video, congrats on the LS. I have an 08’ Ls460 RWD with 254k miles. They’re amazing cars that last forever if you maintain them! They do have the obvious control arm and brake actuator issues but those are all things that can be addressed!
I've replaced 3 or 4 of them. Common failure. Lots of labor. Parts cost is expensive. Not to mention the front control arms that cost 4-5k every 100k miles.
Welcome!!! Just got my 2013 Fo-Sixty as well! Only mod so far is Tesla wheels (which is becoming popular) Coil overs are next! I hope you do a DIY for us!😊
I’ve got a 2010 LS 460 L AWD with 152,000 miles on her. Mechanically wise it’s perfect, zero codes. air ride perfect , Of course I did have to change out control arms due to age of vehicle. Lots of power , insanely smooth. My LS has not been problematic at all. Body is pristine. Understand I have other 4 vehicles so my Lexus has had an easy life. Yes I do love this car.
I found your video in fall 2023 bc I’m looking for something like this. Very nice car, man! Definitely will look at the older models and consider it. I was looking at the 2016-17 models but damn, that car looks good!
That’s one of the all time rock solid platforms. I don’t think there has been an iteration yet that has been crappy. I was in early high school when the first gen came out and when the older kids would rock their parents ls 400s it was “a thing”. Had a friend that had an ls430 and that was a great car to drive. Such a great platform. A little “boaty” yes of course but still an awesome ride.
Got for you man. I got one a month ago 2016 with 46k miles, I don’t regret it one bit. Just like any car they can have issues but I did my research. Test drive one and love for. Also I have 2 small kids and there is plenty of room for all of us. It was either this ls or a brand new Honda AccordI went with the LS and I’m so glad I did
I just came from 2012 IS 360 to a 2008 LS loving it has low miles drives like a cloud bus also a beast when needed welcome to LS family are you on Club Lexus!
You’re back on lexus dude! So glad to see you grab a more spacious one- I feel you on the space for the IS. You deserve it bro! You always put love into your cars, and that one is in great hands. Hope it lasts you another 200k+
I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on this! I’m in the process of picking one up as well, but it’s an ‘08. It’s a coworker friend of mine’s and if he does sell it to me at the price he threw out, it’s going to be a STEAL! 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! Can’t wait for your future vids! 👍🏼
Very nice. I got 2010 460 sport pkg. Looking forward to see what you do with it. I’ve been looking into getting OEM intake resonator to see if it do anything to the sound.
My brother still drives his 1998 LS400 which he won't get rid of says it drives better than 2022 Mercedes GLE 500 So he gave that to his wife and he daily drives his LS400. Also in Long Island NY
The screen and clock look nearly identical to my 2018 lexus es350 at least in design and shape. Its neat to see when lexus continues something in newer cars from the older ones.
I absolutely LOVE my car. I have a 2013 LS460 F-Sport and its a great car. I've had it for 3 years and log about 20K a year on it and it keeps going. It's a beautiful simple well built car with no unnecessary tech. I Do wish it had Apple CarPlay but no complaints.
Congratz! I saw this car the first time in 2006 in the omen movie. I fell in love with it. I will follow your adventures closely. Thank you for making these videos! Cheers
Big yes! Would love an LS460 , better if F sport too, no air suspesion head aches and I dig AWD even with the worse fuel consumption and generally more expenses. As long as it's not an L version, I'd still consider it a driver's car.
Not gonna lie, definitely been looking into these lately. Not usually a fan of bigger cars, but this might be it with the comfort and reliability. One of my daily beaters is a 07 is250 with 208k miles and never an issue with it
Lexus's V6 doesn't usually have issues, but their 4.6 and 5.0 V8 have some costly issues. Pain the in the butt just to work on them. Since the LS is a larger vehicle, maybe not.
Long time sub here. I’m super excited to see this project actually. I sold my is350 over a year ago and regretted it ever since. I’ve been thinking about getting another Lexus platform myself. I had a 22 trd orp 4runner and got tired of the horrible mpg and got a 23 accord hybrid now and it’s a lemon. I’m taking it to the dealer next week to sell it or something but I’m going to be on the hunt for a used higher mileage Lexus I can just pay cash for and enjoy modding it. A big body ls would be perfect or a gs. I loved my is but as you said they are a little cramped. I do believe you should do a compression test on the motor to see how it sits and also be sure you change all the plugs and coils at once. It’s a really bad idea to do one at a time because they all will start failing behind each other and that’s extra labor each time. I’ve had HORRIBLE luck getting away with replacing one coil and one plug. It’s just never a good idea as a performance standpoint also. They do have a lifespan and assume they both need to be done. Look on eBay and find a set of new ones for cheap and go to Lexus and buy the plus. Oem plugs and oem Coils is the only way I’d go. Never use cheap aftermarket coils or plugs on a v8 it’s not worth it. I would think that a better intake will probably give you a significant lower intake air temp and power too esp where it matters. They design those to be as quiet as possible at the sacrifice of power. So keep that in mind they market those towards older folks so a simple intake and exhaust and a tune will bring it over 400 possibly … or close to it. The other thing id do is add a nice subwoofer and amp and do some clean jdm vip wheels. This had jdm vip vibes all over it. ❤ Can’t wait to see more on this ! This might inspire me to get one because your older videos are what inspired me a ton on my is350 back then
VIP would be awesome and yes I did all the spark plugs off camera, just to rule those out. I think the ignition coils are fine at this point and want to see what else it could be. Compression test and injector cleaning might help
Awesome vid. I have a 2013 LS460 (bought with 72k, about to hit 80k) and I effing love it. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours. May give me some inspiration from your changes. Did you already install an exhaust? My 460 doesn't sound like that! LOL
Yeah bud!! Nice grab! I drive a 2015 GS350 F-Sport AWD, and I love it. I've always thought an LS would be a nice car to graduate to when I'm done (will I ever be?) peeling highway exits at 60 mph... lol. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from you.
Beautiful whip fam, I have basically the same one in an awd long wheelbase trim that we're building a sound system out on rn. Trying to make a video of that for the same reasons you said, not much content out there on these! Enjoy the new ride!
I just got a 2010 LS 460 AWD with 180,000 on it. I fell in love with it the first time I drove it. It just drives like it wants to be driven hard. I did put some k&n air filters, and replace the cabin filter. Definitely needed. Vacuum a bunch of look like chipmunk or mice stuff out of the air box.. everything seems to be running great on mine. Sure yours will be awesome as well.. One stop hiccup is fixed.
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. 🤷♂️😆
Owned my 2is and then a 2013 gs350 and had a 07 460 and 600hl but sold them both because of expensive maintaince required in the near future and so own a 13 and 17 gs350 f sport The ls had a comfier seat and smooth transmission and engine but the seat and position make your legs very uncomfortable
I was mostly a Ford guy through the years, so when I originally went shopping LS460 it seemed TOO good/quiet/disconnected driving experience for me. That’s how I wound up in a GS350F Sport instead. I’d rather have the V8, and now that I’m used to quite a bit more refinement the 460 would probably work for me, but I guess I needed to start somewhere lol 😝 Glad to see you enjoying the new ride already and looking forward to the content !
Yea I just picked 13 gs rwd wanted a 13-14 ls460 rwd f sport but it was hard to find I do wish it was the 14 gs350 with the 8 spd but the 6 spd Is pretty decent
@@kgisabeast If the GS had 350 hp it would be flawless. I have a 13' F-sport and coming from an 11' Corolla, it's everything I've wanted in a car. Just wish it had a tad more hp but it's still plenty for a daily. Such a gem of a car that won't truly be appreciated until everything's electrified.
Looks amazing, 2 months ago ì had a 2015 gs350 and a black 2014 ls460 in front of me , i went home with the gs and i am fully satisfied. Enjoy it the ls
I loved my LS400 to death and always thought I would go LS460 next. It didn't happen that way but I'm tempted to keep an eye out for a good deal. Its been in the back of my mind since but had to try something different for now. Lookin forward to picking one of these up some day and cant wait to see your experience with this one.
Marty! Please make content for the 460! I followed you with the is350. You gave me some great ideas for mine. Now I have a 2011 ls460. I got it about the same time you got yours. I love the car! Hope to see more. Thanks for the great vids! What part of PA are you in? Im near ocean city MD.... i drove to Richmond Virginia for my car. They are hard to find!
Hey 👋 from Australia 🇦🇺 I have the same model 2013 LS 460 AWD in Blk. Mine has 120,000 klms. I imported it from Japan ( new import rules as we didn’t get the AWD version here in Australia so the AWD variant can be imported) Gorgeous car and drives so smooth as they always do. I’ve had the 98 ls400,2005 Ls430, 2008 Ls 460 and I currently have a 2008 ISF. Big Lexus fan as what major things go wrong? I’ll follow your tinker with the Ls460 and see how far you take it.. Suspension controller, Wheels and an exhaust is all you need to play with on these as they are beautiful just the way they are 🤩
I always loved the LS the older models and new what is the cost maintenance on a vehicle that old ? Would love to see your journey in the 460 enduring winter !
Very nice car I had a ls430. Seems pretty similar to my Infiniti q70L 5.6 awd except not a long wheelbase and little less power but more on the luxury comfy side. I’ve always wanted an ls600hl
I absolutely love Lexus I have a 2006 GS300 and I love it I still have some work to do on it but I still love it. Won’t go for an LS for now because the engine is a bit too big
It is my dream car. Exactly this particular trim. Facelift with AWD and Mark Levinson audio system. Too bad their prices have gone up and facelift models were expensive to begin with.
What do i think of this car? It's my favorite LS of all times. Such an elegant vehicle, but also way more reliable than anything in the same category. I really want one, but i NEVER found the spec i like. In Canada, they're on all beige inside and out or long wheelbase. I'm subscribing, i want to see where it goes.
I drive a 2019 A8L and LOVE it. I believe it is in the same category but a bit longer since they only sell the Long version in the US. They are amazing on the highway for long trips.
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
Had a '08 460 w/250k miles. Bulletproof engine, other than regular maintenance, only thing I had to change we're front control arm bushings and shocks. AFS sensors tend to go out, but it's negligible.
I had random misfires on my old daily (07 lexus es350) and ans the culprit was a bad upstream o2 sensor . If you take care of everything and still have those CEL codes , try swapping out the o2 sensor. Awesome buy btw ! Always wanted a 460 but in the GS body 👍🏽
Same thing happened to my daily ( 09 GS 350 AWD) Had coils 5 and 6 and all new spark plugs. Mechanic swears it's not the O2 sensor. But it still drives weird and loses power when I go up an incline. Time to move on!
It's got the FSport grill and Shimamoku Espresso steering wheel & Shimamoku instrument panel trim. The available Shimamoku (striped wood) steering wheel takes 38 days to make by hand. The doors, dash, steering wheel all from a single tree. Mark Levinson® Reference Surround Audio with 19 speakers 359 @ 6,400 (AWD)* 347 @ 4,100 (AWD)* 16/23/18 (AWD)* The body is hand-sanded twice, between alternating layers of paint.
Haha no clue how I came across your channel but I saw you driving the other day and I laughed out loud at the license plate. Then I saw this video and was like 😳😳 wtf. I have 08 ls460 myself. I Love it.
My dad bought a 2013 LS460 L when it was brand new and ever since then I’ve had a soft spot for them. Kinda sad he sold it a couple years ago but he kept it super clean and it only had 24k miles after 8 years
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!!
Hell yes I could see myself driving that LS460. All I buy is Lexus, they are so reliable. I've had a 2000 GS300, 2005 ES330, 2009 ES350 and currently a 2011 ES350. My wife wrecked the first three, don't ask me about it because I was heart broken each time. I'm thinking about getting an 04-06 LS430.
Nice one. I'm from Australia, and I drive a 2010 Toyota Crown Majesta. Same line of vehicles, but Majesta is the flagship model in Japan. Same drive line (1UR and 8 speed auto), amazing car!
hi, thank you for an informative and interesting video, but can i ask what price did you pay for if you 're comfortable telling? and were you able to fix that issue of those codes?
I picked up a 2010 LS460 a month ago. 112,000 miles. Aside from TPMS sensors I haven’t had to do anything. Car drives like a dream. From what I have read if you take care of these cars they can go 400,000 miles or more!
My dad used to have the 2015 LS460 L in 2019, and it was so comfortable. The second most confortable car i have been in, the first is a rolls royce ghost which is very expensive

Give her a shot of smoozie and she'll run like butter
How much did you pay?
Wish they made an estate version of the LS460L.
How much $$ ?

The ls460 can easily fit 20x10.5 rim with 280 tires on the back and 20x9 with 265 on the front

2013+ is definitely the way to go, if you can afford it, as Lexus fixed some issues but they are gas guzzlers and require premium gas.
I recently picked up a '13 GS350 F-Sport. I have never owned a Lexus or any luxury car before and even though it was a used, but very good condition car, it just feels different in a good way. Lexus really know how to build a luxury car with performance and not lose their reliability.

My brother still drives his 1998 LS400 which he won't get rid of says it drives better than 2022 Mercedes GLE 500 So he gave that to his wife and he daily drives his LS400. Also in Long Island NY
The screen and clock look nearly identical to my 2018 lexus es350 at least in design and shape. Its neat to see when lexus continues something in newer cars from the older ones.
I absolutely LOVE my car. I have a 2013 LS460 F-Sport and its a great car. I've had it for 3 years and log about 20K a year on it and it keeps going. It's a beautiful simple well built car with no unnecessary tech. I Do wish it had Apple CarPlay but no complaints.
Great video and now I'm looking to purhase one of my own. Thanks
Congratz! I saw this car the first time in 2006 in the omen movie. I fell in love with it. I will follow your adventures closely. Thank you for making these videos!
Cheers
Ya I remember Lexus very well in that movie but they were driving GS300 in the movie
Big yes! Would love an LS460 , better if F sport too, no air suspesion head aches and I dig AWD even with the worse fuel consumption and generally more expenses. As long as it's not an L version, I'd still consider it a driver's car.
Not gonna lie, definitely been looking into these lately. Not usually a fan of bigger cars, but this might be it with the comfort and reliability. One of my daily beaters is a 07 is250 with 208k miles and never an issue with it
Lexus's V6 doesn't usually have issues, but their 4.6 and 5.0 V8 have some costly issues. Pain the in the butt just to work on them. Since the LS is a larger vehicle, maybe not.
What a great looking car! Mint condition with those miles 😍 can’t wait to see what you do next with the LS460
Long time sub here. I’m super excited to see this project actually. I sold my is350 over a year ago and regretted it ever since. I’ve been thinking about getting another Lexus platform myself. I had a 22 trd orp 4runner and got tired of the horrible mpg and got a 23 accord hybrid now and it’s a lemon. I’m taking it to the dealer next week to sell it or something but I’m going to be on the hunt for a used higher mileage Lexus I can just pay cash for and enjoy modding it. A big body ls would be perfect or a gs. I loved my is but as you said they are a little cramped.
I do believe you should do a compression test on the motor to see how it sits and also be sure you change all the plugs and coils at once. It’s a really bad idea to do one at a time because they all will start failing behind each other and that’s extra labor each time. I’ve had HORRIBLE luck getting away with replacing one coil and one plug. It’s just never a good idea as a performance standpoint also. They do have a lifespan and assume they both need to be done. Look on eBay and find a set of new ones for cheap and go to Lexus and buy the plus. Oem plugs and oem
Coils is the only way I’d go. Never use cheap aftermarket coils or plugs on a v8 it’s not worth it.
I would think that a better intake will probably give you a significant lower intake air temp and power too esp where it matters. They design those to be as quiet as possible at the sacrifice of power. So keep that in mind they market those towards older folks so a simple intake and exhaust and a tune will bring it over 400 possibly … or close to it.
The other thing id do is add a nice subwoofer and amp and do some clean jdm vip wheels. This had jdm vip vibes all over it. ❤
Can’t wait to see more on this ! This might inspire me to get one because your older videos are what inspired me a ton on my is350 back then
VIP would be awesome and yes I did all the spark plugs off camera, just to rule those out. I think the ignition coils are fine at this point and want to see what else it could be. Compression test and injector cleaning might help
Definitely have to see what’s out there for this vehicle! Hoping I can fix issues and start enjoying it. Exhaust would be great too
Awesome vid. I have a 2013 LS460 (bought with 72k, about to hit 80k) and I effing love it. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours. May give me some inspiration from your changes. Did you already install an exhaust? My 460 doesn't sound like that! LOL
It is a beautiful vehicle, Congrats...I like how the wheels have the newer LS rims..NICE....
Subbed for this build. I just got a 13 rwd earlier this year after i wrecked my vvti sc400.
Yeah bud!! Nice grab! I drive a 2015 GS350 F-Sport AWD, and I love it. I've always thought an LS would be a nice car to graduate to when I'm done (will I ever be?) peeling highway exits at 60 mph... lol. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from you.
Beautiful whip fam, I have basically the same one in an awd long wheelbase trim that we're building a sound system out on rn. Trying to make a video of that for the same reasons you said, not much content out there on these!
Enjoy the new ride!
Btw that 3fiddy plate is amazing, just showed the lady the video lolol, been years
I just got a 2010 LS 460 AWD with 180,000 on it. I fell in love with it the first time I drove it. It just drives like it wants to be driven hard. I did put some k&n air filters, and replace the cabin filter. Definitely needed. Vacuum a bunch of look like chipmunk or mice stuff out of the air box.. everything seems to be running great on mine. Sure yours will be awesome as well.. One stop hiccup is fixed.
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. 🤷♂️😆
Makes sense…love the GS! Just wanted that v8 🤣
4th gen gs350s are best car ever
I miss my gs now 😢 but the LS is def boss status
Owned my 2is and then a 2013 gs350 and had a 07 460 and 600hl but sold them both because of expensive maintaince required in the near future and so own a 13 and 17 gs350 f sport
The ls had a comfier seat and smooth transmission and engine but the seat and position make your legs very uncomfortable
I have a 2013 GS350 Luxury pkg, I feel like it bridges the gap well between IS and LS. Very happy with the car and hope to own a GSF one day.
I was mostly a Ford guy through the years, so when I originally went shopping LS460 it seemed TOO good/quiet/disconnected driving experience for me. That’s how I wound up in a GS350F Sport instead. I’d rather have the V8, and now that I’m used to quite a bit more refinement the 460 would probably work for me, but I guess I needed to start somewhere lol 😝
Glad to see you enjoying the new ride already and looking forward to the content !
13-20 GS is a near perfect daily, reliable, great interior, handles well. Only gripe is mediocre gas mileage and I wish it had about 30-40 more hp
Yea I just picked 13 gs rwd wanted a 13-14 ls460 rwd f sport but it was hard to find I do wish it was the 14 gs350 with the 8 spd but the 6 spd Is pretty decent
@@Jdmtwofortysx The 8 speed is actually slightly slower than the 6 speed 0-60 and can hunt gears sometimes.
@@kgisabeast If the GS had 350 hp it would be flawless. I have a 13' F-sport and coming from an 11' Corolla, it's everything I've wanted in a car. Just wish it had a tad more hp but it's still plenty for a daily. Such a gem of a car that won't truly be appreciated until everything's electrified.
There is the Gs400 my Boi They are good. But motor swaps are real 🤷🏾♂️. If not that, you can tune and boost the shit out of the Gs350.
Looks amazing, 2 months ago ì had a 2015 gs350 and a black 2014 ls460 in front of me , i went home with the gs and i am fully satisfied. Enjoy it the ls
I loved my LS400 to death and always thought I would go LS460 next. It didn't happen that way but I'm tempted to keep an eye out for a good deal. Its been in the back of my mind since but had to try something different for now. Lookin forward to picking one of these up some day and cant wait to see your experience with this one.
The roads to Long Island are nice too!
I just bought a post refresh one in AWD as well and love every minute of it. What a great car
Marty! Please make content for the 460! I followed you with the is350. You gave me some great ideas for mine. Now I have a 2011 ls460. I got it about the same time you got yours. I love the car! Hope to see more. Thanks for the great vids! What part of PA are you in? Im near ocean city MD.... i drove to Richmond Virginia for my car. They are hard to find!
I’ve had mine for a few months. 2010 AWD LS460. I put a pair of subs in it and added remote start. I love my car. It’s perfect to me
Hey 👋 from Australia 🇦🇺
I have the same model 2013 LS 460 AWD in Blk. Mine has 120,000 klms.
I imported it from Japan ( new import rules as we didn’t get the AWD version here in Australia so the AWD variant can be imported)
Gorgeous car and drives so smooth as they always do.
I’ve had the 98 ls400,2005 Ls430, 2008 Ls 460 and I currently have a 2008 ISF.
Big Lexus fan as what major things go wrong?
I’ll follow your tinker with the Ls460 and see how far you take it..
Suspension controller, Wheels and an exhaust is all you need to play with on these as they are beautiful just the way they are 🤩
I always loved the LS the older models and new what is the cost maintenance on a vehicle that old ? Would love to see your journey in the 460 enduring winter !
I had a GS 350 and it was the smoothest sedan I ever owned. I'm in a Durango now but this has me intrigued! Sweet Purchase!
Got a 2008 ls460L this past June with 64,000 miles. Needed new rear shock😢$$$ but I LOVE IT!!! It just hums and floats on the highway.
Very nice car I had a ls430. Seems pretty similar to my Infiniti q70L 5.6 awd except not a long wheelbase and little less power but more on the luxury comfy side. I’ve always wanted an ls600hl
You did your research on Q...I always see 3.7 the 5.6 is a beast can get 500 hp with bolts
I absolutely love Lexus I have a 2006 GS300 and I love it I still have some work to do on it but I still love it. Won’t go for an LS for now because the engine is a bit too big
It is my dream car. Exactly this particular trim. Facelift with AWD and Mark Levinson audio system. Too bad their prices have gone up and facelift models were expensive to begin with.
Congrats on the LS! I’ve had two of them; previously an 07 and 14 F Sport now. They’re not perfect but very good cars!
Same story, started with 2007 love it, upgraded to White Pearl 2014 F Sport.
Great job. Keep it up!
I bought my 2011 LS460 AWD 4 years ago, and I love it! Thinking my next car will also be same model, but newer year.
We all love the Lexus content ❤
What do i think of this car? It's my favorite LS of all times. Such an elegant vehicle, but also way more reliable than anything in the same category. I really want one, but i NEVER found the spec i like. In Canada, they're on all beige inside and out or long wheelbase. I'm subscribing, i want to see where it goes.
Beautiful car! All of those items are a quick inexpensive fix especially for someone who does their own work. Congratulations!
I drive a 2019 A8L and LOVE it. I believe it is in the same category but a bit longer since they only sell the Long version in the US. They are amazing on the highway for long trips.
Yes keep them coming
Beautiful 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
For sure. Abs actuator got me on my old IS350. Coolant is nice and full so heat works well. The sunroof part sucks but I think I’m ok for now
"Luxury boat" - love it!
Cheers bud. Can’t wait to see more in this beauty. Got yourself a LandYacht. 🍻
Had a '08 460 w/250k miles. Bulletproof engine, other than regular maintenance, only thing I had to change we're front control arm bushings and shocks. AFS sensors tend to go out, but it's negligible.
YES! have been looking for a min now
Keep us updated. I’m looking to purchase one aswell
I had random misfires on my old daily (07 lexus es350) and ans the culprit was a bad upstream o2 sensor . If you take care of everything and still have those CEL codes , try swapping out the o2 sensor. Awesome buy btw ! Always wanted a 460 but in the GS body 👍🏽
I wish the v8 was in the 2014+ IS body style
@@ruskibruski that would have been nice and a great sleeper too lol
@@ruskibruskiIS500?
Same thing happened to my daily ( 09 GS 350 AWD) Had coils 5 and 6 and all new spark plugs. Mechanic swears it's not the O2 sensor. But it still drives weird and loses power when I go up an incline. Time to move on!
@@Constabruity we consider that the 4is even though it's just a facelift lol but 3is 2014-2020 V8 IS would have been nice .
It's got the FSport grill and Shimamoku Espresso steering wheel & Shimamoku instrument panel trim.
The available Shimamoku (striped wood) steering wheel takes 38 days to
make by hand. The doors, dash, steering wheel all from a single tree.
Mark Levinson® Reference Surround Audio with 19 speakers
359 @ 6,400 (AWD)* 347 @ 4,100 (AWD)* 16/23/18 (AWD)*
The body is hand-sanded twice, between alternating layers of paint.
Looks like the previous owner swapped the bumper
The wood trim looked really beautiful on camera.
I imagine it looked even better in person!
Great content thinking about getting one of these or GS Lexus
They are great cars. I bought a 2016 back in January black on flaxen F sport all wheel drive only had 31,000 miles on it. It replaces my 2004 LS 430.
Congratulations marty ,good choice ‼️ wish you many cruise mileage
I love the car and will be getting one of my own soon. Thanks for sharing
I have a 2015 LS460 F sport AWD Crafted line (1 of 750) with 116k miles. Love it. Enjoy yours.
I imported a jdm ls460 2013 to the UK and its awesome...
Awesome buy! What are your plans? Are u keeping it stock? Hope to see more videos bro👍
Nice ride, I’ve never even drove a Lexus personally, but i think if i was going to buy one it would be the 460 in black!
Working up to one. I know it's still lexus but the milage is scary of parts go broke. Would sure like more vids on it. Will you mode the car.?
Had a ls400 with a back wiper and then to a ls430 with no back wiper. In winter, no back wiper is a deal breaker.
Lexus are great cars, I own a 4Runner and use to have the IS250. Would love to see more videos on this car for sure!
For sure! This is my 4th Lexus sedan 😂 I had a 4Runner, Tacoma and now older Sequoia so I’m with you there!
Haha no clue how I came across your channel but I saw you driving the other day and I laughed out loud at the license plate. Then I saw this video and was like 😳😳 wtf. I have 08 ls460 myself. I Love it.
Small world! Yeah the license plate is silly 😂
My dad bought a 2013 LS460 L when it was brand new and ever since then I’ve had a soft spot for them. Kinda sad he sold it a couple years ago but he kept it super clean and it only had 24k miles after 8 years
Yes!
Keep us updated
Btw glasspack exhaust wtg!
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!!
Hell yes I could see myself driving that LS460. All I buy is Lexus, they are so reliable. I've had a 2000 GS300, 2005 ES330, 2009 ES350 and currently a 2011 ES350. My wife wrecked the first three, don't ask me about it because I was heart broken each time. I'm thinking about getting an 04-06 LS430.
im thinking about a the new GS RX and ES maybe; but. V8 sounds good, id want the 13-15’
east coast guys be funny. "i drove it a long way from here to there so over 200 miles" midwest guys be like damn man that isnt far at all lol
We are spoiled lol
x pipe and secondary cat delete would be a start.
A gooooood start ❤
Fuuuck no. You true type to fuck up a car.
Stock reliability is a better end result though
@@kylepastahaving an exhaust will not negatively effect your reliability
No
Nice one. I'm from Australia, and I drive a 2010 Toyota Crown Majesta. Same line of vehicles, but Majesta is the flagship model in Japan. Same drive line (1UR and 8 speed auto), amazing car!
hi, thank you for an informative and interesting video, but can i ask what price did you pay for if you 're comfortable telling? and were you able to fix that issue of those codes?
Ls460 is a luxury vehicle dorsnt need to have loid exhausted and be low to the ground
Love my 10 LS460 best car I’ve ever owned 💪🏾💯
I picked up a 2010 LS460 a month ago. 112,000 miles. Aside from TPMS sensors I haven’t had to do anything. Car drives like a dream. From what I have read if you take care of these cars they can go 400,000 miles or more!
I love LS models of Lexus. thanks bro, watching from Uganda. 🙏
My dad used to have the 2015 LS460 L in 2019, and it was so comfortable. The second most confortable car i have been in, the first is a rolls royce ghost which is very expensive
Beautiful... just bought a LS 430 2005 there super smooth.
The 04-06 LS430s are so nice. Someday when I have some more money I hope to find one with low mileage.
what mileage do you consider to be low?@@Constabruity
