The LS460L is their all-time most beautiful model. The Lexus peak for design aesthetic. You brought this one back to life for sure. What a great job.

Ah, you gotta be tripping. The LS430 UCF31 is HANDS DOWN THE BEST CAR EVER MADE

@funktron4 2 ай бұрын

Ummmm….I don’t think I said anything at all about which car I think is the all-time best. I was commenting on styling. And the 430 is a Japanese attempt to do a faux Mercedes, LMFAO. The 460 was true Japanese Luxury design, original and fresh. Drive your copy and be happy. The 430 is a mechanically strong car. Not the “best car ever” but very good. And there’s nothing wrong with a fake Rolex if it keeps time. Enjoy.

@ONI1013. 20 күн бұрын

Yup. How much money does it cost to buy all these new parts and cost of labor to basically rebuilt your car?

@LordPrometheous 15 күн бұрын

@@ONI1013. The LS platform has so many control arms for the front suspension alone, that the OEM replacements will cost about $1000. This was maybe 3 years ago when I had mine, but you can get an aftermarket Mevotec kit for $800 total. The labor would be around 4 hours for basic suspension, 5 hours of labor for Air suspension models. It has a very complex front end suspension. It was night and day difference to my IS. I owned both. The air filters weren't bad, and you can get Toyota models. Maybe $60 for two airbox filters and the cabin filters. 9 quarts of oil, not sure about the transmission fluid, b/c it's too complex to do at home. I'd recommend a shop for that b/c it's not so simple like other vehicles. They have the Brembo brakes b/c it's an L version, I guess. I had the base model, still big brakes, just not Brembo, and the pads and rotors were $380 for the front, from the Lexus dealer (not bad at all, consider how huge the brakes are). As far as what they charge to do all this, there's no telling. It said 2 months, but who knows how many hours per day they spent. I'd guess the labor and detailing would be $5K for a customer, plus parts. Beyond that you'd have to ask if it's the last car you'll ever buy, because it would be hard to justify to do all that, just to eventually sell to someone else.

@ditherdather 12 күн бұрын

I'm curious to know what kind of internal engine damage there might be. Most people who let that many maintenance issues slide on their cars, don't take care of just the engine. I wouldn't be surprised if the rings were on their last leg or the cylinders were completely matted in carbon buildup. Maybe some severely worn clutches in the transmission and some cooked seals. I would like to add, though, that it's not lost on me, the incredible workmanship and care that you've put into that car. It's admirable, and it looks incredible. Very nice work, guys. This is hands down the most incredibly thorough and beautiful detail job I've ever seen, and I've watched tons of these videos. That car looked like it just rolled off the production line.

How is this so strange? First its two different cars. 460L is a normal 4.6 v8 long body version. But under the hood is a hybrid synergy drive and two fat orange high voltage wires. That came only on LS 600h. Plus the wheels in the end are also different from the ones they put on. A easy tell is also the blue hue on the headlights. Something strange going on here😮
