IF I can get a 80k 460L for 72k out of the door(is that a good deal? or can i do better?), should I get that instead of getting a 74K LS460 which I can get for around 66K? The 460L is the one with the Luxury Package and a little extras I forget. This is what I am debating on since the 460L has slightly worse gas mileage and is a little bit larger, but it has the Semi-Aniline leather trim, and Alcantara headliner which I can't get on the SWB but I really want it. Another "biggy" for me is the extra leg room in the back since most of my friends and I are well over 6 feet tall, and the extra room would be really useful. However I am not sure whether that can justify the 6k difference in price. Basically, should I pay an extra 6k for an LS460L rather than a SWB LS460?

the 460l has worse gas mileage? where did you get that? if anything it's negligible, and i know some ls460 owners get worse mileage than my ls460l

the 80k car, you have air suspension too right? that's another big plus

to me, it's 460l for sure

Well, MPG in the city is 1 less in the 460L, I don't think I will see a difference. As for the air suspension, I almost forgot about that, do all 80K 460L's come with it? I'm not sure as it only has the Luxury Package, ML, Lexus Link, Advanced Parking, Intuitive Assist, and the Accessory Package.

you should go check again. i believe technically air suspension is still an option on ls460l, but from what is see, most ls460l comes with it. if you are going to mod your car (from your signature, maybe), then the air suspension is big plus if you get wheels / lowering

i really wouldn't worry about gas mileage

Hi

have you driven them both? for me, the "L" version just seemed to drive bigger. i know it's only four inches longer, but it really felt "big" to me. so i opted for the 74K car. i am very happy with it.

Depends on what you want, and if you can get a good deal; if you want more room, the 460 L is a good choice, plus the Alcantara etc., the details you've mentioned make the LWB sound like a more desirable option. Otherwise, the 460 is probably a bit easier to park, more attainable, etc...good luck with your decision.

Is 72k out of the door a good deal on a 80K LS460L? Or can I do better? I still have 2-5 months to decide , so no rush there. I want to take my time.(If I can...)

Perfection

Well, I can't really mod my IS anymore since my cousin(who is buying it) wants to keep the car stock. The LS on the other hand... After seeing your car I REALLY want to, since yours is so nice, but IF I get the SWB, I can't really go VIP, but if I get the LWB...

Get the LS460L if you can, with the extra options/features, plus I think the profile looks much better, you won't regret it.

if you can get it for 72k out of the door, i think it's a killer price

but yes, the lwb is quite a bit harder to drive than the swb. but nothing you can't overcome. if my wife 5' can drive it, you can

It sounds like you want everyone to talk you into the L, so go for it. It is an amazing car. But I do not know anyone who bought one for the MPG. It is a car to be seen in and enjoy every time you shift into D. The 460L is the car that the Cadillac CTS ads claim it to be...

The L is a great car.......so is the SWB

I like the L

USLEX

Based on your postings, I would say go for the L.

The L all the way.

The options you are talking about will drive your passengers crazy. The roominess and the pull down console is the talk of the town.

Take a ride to the dealer and sit in both.

Good Luck.
