It's 2023 and I just bought a 2011 460 l with 100,000 at a very affordable price; it literally floats on air. I've had zero issues, but trust me if it needs anything I will do it because I already love this car.... It's black and it's absolutely beautiful. Trunk is huge, legroom is off the hook in every seat, it is perfect..

Congrats! I test drove one earlier this year for shts and giggles when looking for a truck and fell in love with this car. Everything was perfect for me. Ride quality was superb. I think it’s honestly the best luxury car I could ever imagine myself in. BMW and Mercedes don’t entice me, too expensive of maintenance. Update this in a year and let me know how it’s going! Cheers

You don't get that rough or loud feeling for a second of fast acceleration, which it wasn't designed for anyways so that's a good thing.

Nothing less from Toyota, the engine is reliable but people, think twice! Run from air-suspension. Each strut costs $1000 and if you hit the jackpot, the height compressor (which I did), that is talking about $3000. If you think 460 is smooth, you got to try 430 to enjoy the experience of "flying on the road". For some reasons, the engine of 460 is a lot louder during idling and wind noise can be very annoying at highway speed. Believe it or not, none of these problems are found in my 430. A facelift 460, or its successor 500 in that matter, only shines due to their aggressive exterior but definitely not build quality or ride comfort. The legend of Lexus LS ends in 2007 (when 460 rolled out).
