Exclamation Looking to spend mid 20's for a LS460(L) model, what will that get me?

So currently I'm driving a B6 S4 and nothing wrong with it but could use a bit more space.

Just curious from you LS experts, what would $25k buy me in the used market for a LS460? Or how much more would I need to spend to find a clean car, mods are ok as long as it's tasteful. Eventually I plan to do a kit, suspension drop and wheels but nothing crazy. Must have rear headrest TV's for the kids. Clean title car and prefer a white exterior.

Plan to use this as a my DD so has to be reliable and everything working, just curious what car that would get me at this point?


P.S. Will the LS's size allow for 2 baby seats next to each other (one by window, one in the middle) like our SUV's so we can still seat 5 total? I know the smaller sedans have no chance of that!



thank you for any help!

You probably won't get anything newer than an '08. It will also have high mileage near or over 100K (if it doesn't, it probably was in an accident).

I wouldn't necessarily let the high mileage deter me as long as you can see that it was regularly serviced, and the interior does not show excessive wear. Some of these cars may have been driven mostly highway miles without passengers, as in salespeople.

I paid $25k for my 2007 in mint condition with 64,000 miles on the clock from a private seller back in March. Added a 3 year/36,000 mile Lexus platinum warranty for $3000 incl tax, but you may not be so inclined.

I paid 30k Canadian (about 27k US) for my 08 with 60k miles in January. That was at a Lexus dealer.

see here heaps of choices

Just filter on < $30,000 (negotiating room) and color white. Best deal looks like a 2008 with 70K.

I think you'll be able to find something within the 25k-30k range, but be ready to travel. I highly recommend a certified used LS or some sort of extended warranty.
Don't worry about trying to find one with tvs in the headrest. You can easily find them aftermarket.
What type of baby seats are you using (forwards, backwards)? You should have the same amount if room though.

Check out this one. Edit Never saw the car in person, only looked for low mileage 460l's on Autotrader.

You should fine a good 460 in that price range. Many 460's out there for sale and check out Cargurus.com for good deals. I'm not sure if the 460 will allow 2 child seats next to each other but plenty of space for rear seat passengers. Lexus - the pursuit of perfection.
