this shit just made me cry dawg, dont ever let her go

Sorry for your loss.

Man! My condolences brother ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry for your loss brother

So sorry for you loss bro, I’ll be praying for you

I know right! Try finding a bmw 7 or merc S with those same miles!

*how is the battery holding up? Has he replaced it?*

@@iamryan4130 this is hilarious, I actually just worked with him yesterday and got to drive his car around, he’s at 372,XXX miles, the hybrid system is still all original, all we did for him was an oil change and rear diff service. The battery is still holding up well and the V8 engine up front doesn’t knock or burn any oil, and even with that many miles the 600hL still flies

@@goldencosmonaut *My God!!! That is a long time. I do have a curve ball of a question. Why do people hate V8 BMWs from the 07 08 period?*

@@iamryan4130 in my opinion I think it’s because they do a better job making smaller engines, their inline 6 is indestructible. The v8s have too much tech and too much plastic so something failing is a matter of when. They design vehicles with the intent of components failing. Lexus makes good v8 engines, great ones but they tend to be less reliable than their v6’s and 4cyls.

Manasse Nicaisse I’m getting a 09 for 14k ish.. 93k miles. Wish me luck! Give me advice please

Get the 2011 to 2013 ( I prefer) definitely get the history report. Check the suspension make no leaks and DO NOT GET AIR SUSPENSION unless recently replaced. ( I doubt it’ll be) I have two LS one 11 and a 13 love them both. I can send pictures if you like to see

@@mnicaisse The ones without the air suspension,are those still a pretty smooth ride????

MERCEDESBENZS600 S500 not as smooth.. but still smooth. I’ve notice the difference. If I purchase one I’d make sure a Warrantee comes with it. It’s a 5K to 8K service for air suspension part and service.

@@mnicaisse Good looking out my man,"F" air suspension, lol...

Any updates ? How’s it still running?

Congrats!

@@MeynMotorGroup Thank you, your video is so informative

I also live in NC

I'm humbled! And nice always great to see viewers close by!

Hey glad you appreciate the video. Yea the only issue I recall reading about was the vents cracking. Try out some other dealers perhaps with a high rating on google. You may have to travel a bit to find a good dealer in a populated area

For sure it is definitely a very impressive car!

Awesome!

How long did it last? Is it still driving

What is a link adjustment? 2015 ls 460l and owner

I appreciate that my friend

You’re welcome glad it helped!

Thanks so much! And yes prices for parts can be up there are you having brake actuator done at a lexus dealership?

Teresa, check this out, I’m late but jus FYI kzfaq.info/get/bejne/baioZtVl0KqZfaM.html

Haha get it my friend you will love it but make sure you pay up for that warranty as well

Awd is good even if you dont live in a climate that doesnt demand it. Provides so much more grip and fixes some handling issues

Along with the GS350

Hey congrats on your new purchase super happy that you love the car and I’m humbled that I was able to help. Enjoy the ride my friend 👍

That’s awesome glad I could help my friend

Hey thanks so much I’m glad it was useful. Yea I think you will really like it, just get a warranty and you’re good to go

Thanks so much, glad you find value in what I do!

Thanks! I appreciate that my friend and thanks for stopping by!

Thanks! This was mainly a buyers guide but I did do an actual road review and full feature tour on my channel if you’re interested definitely a great car!

I see a 07 for sale at a high volume dealership for $6700 w/130k thinking about it

Glad I could help my friend!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks!

How many watts?

Thanks so much Chris for your continued support I’m humbled to have you on the channel. I would get a 460 but only a clean one with a warranty

I will never buy one of the newer Lexus products with their hideous spindle grill. PUKE. Toyota has completely lost the plot in the design department.

It is nice haha

Audi has the same feature

Awesome! Glad this helped and good luck my friend

I have 2012 ls460 with 49k miles in mint condition Sale 30k

@@MeynMotorGroup Just got mine today! 2008 SWB w/ML stereo and RWD just over 100,000 miles. Very happy with the car. Not too happy about the aftermarket rims though. I'll look for some OEM rims.

Nice huge congrats my friend

That is awesome my friend so happy for you and I'm humbled I could help!

How had it been I’m looking g for one now.

Glad you found value with it my friend!

Same! It’s a sick car for so much to appreciate. Thanks for stopping by my friend

Thank you!

The 2004-2006 LS might be the greatest car of all time overall. I drove the 2004 from 2006-2014. 163k miles and barely any issues.

Hey congrats on your new purchase that’s awesome my friend. Glad the Lexus drivers tip was useful and it was smart to get it inspected. I’ve also owned a lot of new cars and driven new cars but man this thing is something special. Enjoy the ride and thank you so much for watching!

How has the car been so far?

@@eternalafterlyfe I eventually traded the car for a new Honda HRV. A few reasons. #1. Gas. Once prices started going up it was a bear to fill 60-80 every week with premium for a 22 gallon tank. #2 minor things started happening that would put the car out of commission e.g. the trunk latch actuator went out. I couldn't find it anywhere, Lexus wanted to charge $2500, eventually I found it on e-bay but had to wait a month because it was being shipped from Japan. Then the oxygen sensor went out and it was a whole different issue because its located on the fire wall and not an easy fix. I couldn't do it myself and it cost. Other than that the next thing up was going to be the control arms and I had enough. It still rode like a dream, white fluffy cloudy, like driving a craftmatic bed, but it still is a 2007. If I had the money time and patience I would have kept it, but alas. I hope this info is helpful.

@@Tio_Uncle_VR it was, I appreciate the reply

Thanks so much my friend glad you found value with it

Oh thank you so much my friend really appreciate your continued support!

Nice and thanks so much for your kind words I’m glad to be of help. I would actually go for a very clean LS430 with a warranty I think you will really love that motor, insanely smooth

@@MeynMotorGroup I was leaning that way! Thanks! I'll take that advice. Again, you've been a HUGE help.

Stanley Williams yeah patiently in the market for an 04-06 LS430 myself. such a player car and I’m a sucker for a beautiful and reliable car. Only thing I’m worried about is will it have some go for cruising the curvy roads n country hills. But my motorcycle should cover my speed thrills. I have a ‘17 honda hrv (great lil crossover) and I always ask myself why didn’t I save a lil money and snag a used 07-10 RX lol my mom had 06 and it was great till my lil bro totaled it

@@LGeezus_ Yeah, that big V6 is a great engine and it actually makes the RX sneaky quick. For tackling those curvy roads, I'd go with an IS or IS-F.

08-13 .. beleive it or not ... only 1600 gs 460s were ever built in these yrs and that model ... gs 460 .. 342 hp , detuned (with smaller manifold ) but same engine as the 390+ hp ls .... get a gs 460 .. send to perforance shop .. for a $1k get an uptune to get your ls HP it should have and engine built for (cant have luxary model , gs , same HP as sports model ., ls .. ) ... plus gs is rear wheel drive ... awd costly to repair ... gs is rare , only 1600 08 13 models so better resale value being a rarer car ...

Yes for sure my friend but definitely get it with a warranty

lmao

Definitely depends on the dealer.

Nice just make sure you get that warranty my friend

The 430 is the best production sedan ever made. The 460 has control arm issues. Big $$$ to fix.

Would you take an 05 LS 430 over an 07 460 L?

Thanks again and yea great car would suggest a warranty tho

Hey thanks so much my friend really happy you found value with it. Unfortunately I did have to sell it due to the brake actuator which costs like $3k I included this info in the pinned comment. But I only had to get rid of it because I was too cheap to pay for a warranty. I 100% recommend this car and would get one again, I just urge you to pay for that warranty at a dealership because many commenters said they got that covered and continue to enjoy the car

Thank you my friend!

Yea great resource and awesome people thanks for stopping by John

Congrats my friend!

Thats cheap. In Finland these things go for over 20k at minimum.

sorry that is a straight up BS :-)

I paid 6000.00 straight cash for 2008, black on black. I was told by seller , an honest person in my opinion the car will need the dreaded actuator and that is reason to get rid of the car. Bought it anyway. I am a tree shade wrench and will replace the actuator myself and gravity bleed it for couple of days if it need be. Yes it will be couple of gallons of brake fluid but so is life. The one thing to watch while bleeding is not to introduce any moisture into system, kinda pita but easy does it, And then take it to the dealer for programming. This ought to save me thousands. Some have had dificulty getting the thing licensed so they can drive it to the garage even, to replace the actuator. There is tempoary fix looking back at you when facing the dash, did I say dash? Get creative..... And yes it is temporary, right! An no need to mess with programing either, just common sense and a screewdriver.. The one concern I noticed while pulling the wheels is the Jacking Points on the body, they leave much to be desired for. Especially in rust belt areas, where I am at. They suffer from sloppy application of jacks and easy fold to curbside or from.I will clean the area of paint to the bare metal and weld small reinforcement into them, repaint and have a beer. Just got me one of the Vevor air jacks and that thing is a hoot, well worth the money (it was 150.00 cnd. That jack beats the factory scissor one by far. Other than that the car is definitely worth the money I spent. Only one thing I would add, the factory 18" wheels on this car are really heavy. Will go aftermarket with something more jazzy and light. Seen some nice gold ones, jikes! Ps: Kevin's review are top notch! I like his no nonsense and clear relaxed pace of presentation, thank You Kevin!

Thank you!

No problem and it could be the control arms actually. Put the car into drive and give it some gas and then immediately brake. If you notice some play in the front end then it could be a sign of control arms or bushings wearing out. Hope this helps!

I would try getting the tires balanced first. sometimes it just that simple.

Not a problem my friend!

Thank you! And yes I’m working on that! Haha just so hard to find them because nobody ever trades them in! But I promise to review one eventually!

Exhaust Sports Auto damn right no one does, my 400 is with me till my last breath or it’s last mile

That’s badass!

Yo. Scored my wife an '06 430 with 109k on the clicker. Thing rolls like new, pretty much. We're amazed. We were able to pay cash for it, and to ride around in that without a car payment has us reconsidered everything.

@@JosephCMiller I got super lucky, my 430 had 48k, previous owner couldn't drive it anymore. Drives like a champ.

Were they OEM control arms?

Fantastic so happy for you and I’m humbled that I was able to help you in your buying process I would suggest a warranty and you should be good to go best of luck my friend

Your reply is two months old, did you get the LS? What year, how many miles and how do you like it do far?

dhh488 mine is a 2011 and its silver just like this on the video s far I love it. The way it drive and the smooth power delivery of the V8 it’s fantastic. It’s a boat with a lot of power especially on my long drives. A week after I got it I took it from Chicago to Toronto, then Montreal then Quebec, Quebec. Then back to Chicago. The car handled amazing. Never been happy and content in a vehicle before. I recommend it 100%

Massive congrats Kent such a plush and enjoyable car for sure! Continue to enjoy it for many years to come 👍

Wow congrats and incredible price was it at a dealership? And yes the IS350 is an incredible sports sedan as well you guys know what’s up when it comes to cars. Thanks so much for stopping by

@@MeynMotorGroup yes it was at a dealership, was priced quite below other ones for sale, so he jumped at the chance! Thanks for making awesome content!

That’s great! And thank you so much glad you appreciate it. Will try to get an IS350 to review if I can! Take care my friend

Wow I am looking at one and it's a private seller says he has all service records 2007 with the luxury package . 94k miles he's asking 14 for it . By the pics it looks clean , considering going to look at it in person though

skers, actually $14,000 is quite a bit above Kelly blue book and you definitely want to look at the service history from the dealership or better pass if you don’ have it. I was offered $6250 for my LS460L recently in close to mint condition for a trade in at Ontario Lexus with 120,000 mi. And body in 100% excellent condition that was a mailer to buy a a new LS 👎🏻

Did you get am aftermarket control arms? If so what brand amd how it holding up so far?

@@newbassplayer4005 I got Mevotech and so far no issues,

@@unamsoft that's good to hear

Just reviewed one! Absolutely stunning car can’t wait to post it

@@MeynMotorGroup have you heard of anyone that was able to replace the in-dash receiver/GPS with another one that allows you to stream audio from your phone (either wireless or wired) through the LS 430's sound system?

Kenny Duthie you could always replace the stock ststem, any audio shop can do that for you

feodufg3r4weozjmkdwopsqkf3 I will try to ask some other audio shops. A big one I know, Crutchfield, started they can't do it for the 2005 LS 430.

GROM sells their V-line 1 and 2 Android based computers for the LS430. The V-line will allow you to have Apple Carplay , Bluetooth streaming , You Tube Music, Pandora etc all available via touch control from the original unit's main screen. It's pricey , but it will allow you to update and keep the original factory controls and appearance. GROM also sells a Bluetooth streaming only adapter for the factory system as well. Android tablet style replacement head unit's , made in China, are also available. They also have Bluetooth streaming capability built in. Ali Express sells the head unit's fairly inexpensively.

Why would you twin turbo a 250 and not go for a 350?

Thanks so much my friend I actually just posted a review on the 2020 LS500h if you are interested

How has it been treating you?

@@fantasma.b it's been good so far. The control arms are all in good if not great condition. I took it in for the the valve spring recall two weeks ago and that has been fixed by lexus. I haven't put any money in repair or anything else since I got it but that's about to change. The rear passenger strut is leaking fluid and that needs to be changed. I'm planning on going with oem strut as I love how it rides. I dont want to lose that with an aftermarket strut. I also plan to change the differential fluid too cos I'm plaanning 800 miles round trip which is my main reason for getting the car. The only thing disappointing so far I have noticed is the audio system. Mine has the premium audio with 10 speakers and the audio quality is disappointing.

Mine too. VSC, ABS, Brake light, Traction control light and check engine light comes on and turns off. Oddly, Try replacing the gas cap. For some reason a lot of people got all the lights to go off and haven't had an issue since.

YES that does work many times, even on my 4Runner, also the switch sometimes needs to be reset.

James Martinez I was on the highway when all the same lights came on. I had the actuator changed, hopefully I just have to change it once. It’s pretty expensive

RooBoo Xyss It's not just the actuator. The abs something also goes out and many people on the forums replace both at the same time to save on labor. I would love an LS but between $2000+ for faulty brake components, $1000 for cheap control arms because you can't get bushings (i hate using cheap looking aftermarket arms), the melting interior (only 10 year replacement from lexus) and 15mpg in the city...I unfortunately have to pass.

Thanks so much!

Haven’t driven it I did review a 2003 LS430 tho loved it actually the engine is even smoother than this LS460 so I would think the LS430 would be a better choice over the 400 a bit more power and every bit as smooth

Bullet proof!
