This is my owners review for my 2009 Lexus LS 460, which I owned for nearly 5 years prior to selling at the end of 2020! In this video, I discuss the things I've loved about this feature packed luxury sedan, and the things that haven't been so great. Hopefully this in depth review can act as your buyer's guide in your 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 LS460 search, and give you a few things to pay attention to.
You'll also find out my thoughts on the Mark Levinson sound system vs a newer BMW 7 Series' 750 Bowers and Wilkins stereo.
This LS460 is pretty loaded, with everything from slow close doors to reclining rear seats. It treated me well over the years. Feel free to comment with any questions!

I bought a used 2009 LS460L AWD that is fully loaded had 75k miles on it then, now has 262k, interior is still extremely clean no tears or rips, the body looks close to new, have had very few issues just minor things,. The ride is incredible, it does use a bit of oil between changes. I get about 25 mpg on highway, 20-21 city. Hoping to get another 100k out of this beauty.

Good to see that the newer models were just as reliable as the old ones. To this day most of lexus’s cars are still made in Japan and imported. I don’t know what it is about quality control in America and Germany but they never match Japanese quality control. It Also makes sense because all the v8’s that Toyota made are based on the 1uz-fe, they just have certain changes to get more liters out of them before they install them.

Had 2006 LS430, bought it with 120,000 Miles Drove it to 192,000 with no issues, I did upgrade the front brakes to Stoptech Rotors and pads from Tirerack, made a huge difference on stopping this heavy car. Was the best car I have ever owned. Got rear ended by an SUV and my car was totaled, otherwise I would still be driving it. The most reliable luxury used brand you can get.

We have a 2007 LS460 that we bought 2 years ago with 98k miles, at $13k. It now has 126k and still worth around $11k. Worth every penny. Extremely reliable. Everything works perfect. Best seats ever. When we first got the LS460, the brakes were grabby at low speeds and overly sensitive- difficult to modulate. My independent mechanic milled the rotors and adjusted them and now they work perfect- very strong but easily modulated from any speed. Ill buy this car again.

You have the rare Comfort Plus package with rear reclining seats, leather stitched arm rests and soft close doors. I had a black 2008 with the same interior and features. I wished it was the "L" trim in the same package but they are rare. I added the 5 spoke 19 inch wheels which COMPLETELY transformed the look and made it look more sportier and was still comfortable. It was great the 2 1/2 years I had it, but always feared the brake actuator would go out so I sold with while the value was still high. I miss it terribly and kinda wished I had kept it.

Recent purchase up a base model 2008 LS 460 with 60,000 miles! I have never in my life been so happy with a vehicle purchase. The car is absolutely gorgeous inside and out, previous owner must have garaged and babied this beauty. I could not for the life of me figure out why it was sold. I had to replace the brakes upon purchase, kind of pricey, but I decided to do front and back. The only lingering issue is the Mark Levinson speakers. Even after replacing one of the door speakers, I am still hearing buzzing on occasion in the door speakers. I am hoping to replace them soon in high hopes that’ll fix the problem. Hopefully it’s not an amplifier issue. I have only named two cars in my life. The LS 460 is one of them. I did it spontaneously. Lexi is mine. The seats are very comfortable, the ride is superior. I love how quiet the interior is. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who is a large car enthusiast. I drove a modern LS 500 as a loaner and was not impressed. My car is far superior as far as ride, front seat it’s very comfortable.

Appreciate it Jay! That’s good to hear. The only way I noticed the control arm issues were big bumps felt a little rough, and backing up in full lock caused some tire slipping. Glad it was under warranty, but I’ve heard from someone in the comments it might be a recall as well? 🤷‍♂️ Glad to hear it’s been a great reliable car for you. I’ve had a little seller’s remorse...😅

Good choice much smoother and quieter than S class benz, i remember when i purchased my first benz back in the day and all my m8-s were you end up in bankruptcy... well drove with it 4,5 years and upgraded to next model, thing is if you can fix things by yourself and own some knowledge then there are almost nothing to fear really, only costly parts were airstruts since i had to buy whole unit and aftermarket parts at that time wasnt really aviable like today there are quite different price range of those to pick. Now been watching ls460-s again but thinking about 2k13 or even newer model to seek f sport looks sick also, but since my m8 has 2011 model and ive had chance to drive with it like 3 weeks straight i kinda fell "love" with it, so quiet so comfy and neither w220 w221 s classes even reach that level + now benz prices are so low that pretty much streets are full of those and it isnt anymore "cool" to own it like it used to be 10 years ago, same time lexus atleast i dont see it much here at our streets, there are some but rare sight seeing.

Paid for oil changes and $800 spark plug issue, any other out of pocket repairs? The brake issue and control arm issues were covered under warranty? Did I get that all correct?

The problem with this gen LS460 according to the Car Wizard is they have an expensive computer system and the Dealership and only the dealership has the software to service it and is super expensive to do so. I think these look better and have better performance than the previous LS430 But they are much simpler vehicles to service. Lexus Dealership Service Costs are already outrageous for there less complicated vehicles once they start getting around 100k miles.
