Time was right to upgrade to a 2007 LS460. Traded up and am loving the 380 HP and all the modern toys.

Good for you Kenny. How is the experience? I've heard mixed things about the new LS. I really like the 98-00s that I have been fortunate enough to drive. Wondering about main differences in suspension feel. I really like the LS430 ride for what it is worth.

Its all that and a bag of chips. My best friend has a beautiful 2005 LS 430 but it never inspired me to buy one. The 460 has more horsepower and is sexy as hell. Buyers remorse is something no one will experience after buying an LS 460. I'm sure the big German cars are just as nice but they are pieces of crap as we all know.

Beautiful car. I have always loved that body style. Never had a chance to drive one. However i love my 98 LS400 as well. Best of luck with your new ride.

ME TOO Kenny, IF I could be pried out of my 99, it would take a 460 to do it.. BUT as far as JUST driving them, the 400 appeals to me more than the 460... (old people are set in their ways) but yours is Beautiful..

i wouldnt mind upgrading to a newer LS but the feel of the second gen is just to powerful it would have to be the ls460 F sport to get me to upgrade w/rear wheel drive still since i know the 4wd is a option. hopefully you enjoy the people on the ls460 thread they seem to be alot older than the people in this 1-2nd gen any upgrades you going to do

The price was right, 20k with 84,000 1 owner miles. All dealer service records on the Lexus website and carfax. And yes it was real hard to part with my 91 and im sure I will be revisiting it in my dreams.

I would never be able to get myself to upgrade; however, it sounds like you got a fantastic car!

Enjoy, and congratulations!

agreed, not that i'm in a position to buy a new 460 lol. seeing how much more bloated and rounded off the LS has become makes me positive that the 400 is the way to go. and the 98-00 are literally just as fast as a current AWD LS 460, and probably get even better mpg too, weighing like 800 lbs less with.

nevertheless it's still a Lexus LS so it wasn't a bad choice, and the car looks good. definitely still has the presence. i'm loving that shot of the two of them next to each other though, car designs need to go back to looking more like that. so what if they're more dangerous to the people inside and the people they run over, just avoid things. not very hard lol, yet people manage to crash so often

So you traded in your old ride? Not to pry but did they give you that much over keeping it or selling it on your own? Congrats on the new ride though. They are nice. My neighbor has a black one with that tan interior and it is sweet.

I would have liked the 91 if it was as good as it looks. So do those funky moon roof things ruin the paint? What holds it on?

Congrats on the 460. Those two side by side can share some stories.

I put the sunroof deflector on in 2000 and it
never needed adjustment an looks perfect to this day. You can go down the highway with the roof open 2/3 without any wind blowing in. It clamps on no holes or glue. They gave me 3k for my car after negotiating the price for the new one. It's on their website with pics for 5k.

The only problems are a slow a/c leak and the radio display is black. No leaks and insane service records since it was my mission to keep it nice. I'm a retired mechanic with my tools and a lift in my heated garage. Look I loved it but change is good and I have a new baby now.
