Default ls460L awd with no air suspension

I finally back out of a deal for a 460L awd 2010 with air suspension since i want to have piece of mind and opted for a non air suspension. Question is if it exist a 460L with no air suspension, i know that the L version is rare, but a L version with no air, have anybody ever seen one ?

I tasted the L version vs the non L version and love the feature in the back seats, mostly the rear door blinds and the toys in the back.

My second option wouild be buying that car and if one suspension failed, i can convert to all sping shocks, but would it be as easy said and done ?

A/S is an option, it was not a standard feature for LWB 460's, I have seen LWB non air with the rear seat upgrade package. I know they change the package for the rear seat on 2010-2012 that offers power door shades, rear reclining seats without the cool box and rear climate controls. On 2007-2009 460's the only way together power door shades was to get rear climate, reclining seat and cool box.

If you are purchasing a car that new, it would most likely have some warranty or be a CPO.

would this not provide enough piece of mind to move forward with the A/S?

I can't speak for the LWB, but staring in 2011 the air suspension became an OPTION.

I have a 2011 AWD SWB and it does not have the A/S, which is exactly what I wanted.

Elvin "LBINTAB" has a LS460L with no air. He has aftermarket air now. That's the best way to go if you are planning to get after market air.

I have a 2011 LS460L without air suspension but with the rear seat package (and pretty much everything else). I recently bought it CPO.

No. Not AWD. Getting something that specific on the used market will be hard to find. It would have been a special order only if it was available that way.

Yes. AWD. As I said, LS460L so long wheel base. Plus LKA, etc.

Btw, the dealer that was selling it was quite specific about all the features present but said nothing about the suspension. I wasn't trying to avoid air so it came as a surprise to me when the button was missing. I don't think it would have turned up on a search specifying suspension.
