Lexus LS600h L Will Keep Your Wallet and the Planet Filled with Green

2008 Lexus LS600hL

This Lexus LS600h L once sold for over six figures to green-minded elites. It can now be yours for $20,000.

Once upon a time (in 2008), if you wanted to let the world know you were a player who wanted green cred to go with your image as a god among men, you didn’t visit the Toyota dealership to buy a Prius. No. You traded in your old Lexus for a new Lexus LS600h L, which had a base price over $100,000 all those years ago. Extra legroom in the back, a big five-liter 389-horsepower V8 paired with a 221-power electric motor up front, and luxury for days, that’s what the LS600h L was and continues to be about.

And now, you can put one in your garage today for $20,000. Jalopnik brings our attention to this golden-brown LS600hL available for sale in Thornton, Colorado, on Craigslist. For $3,475 less than a base 2018 Toyota Prius, you can enjoy the big power this hybrid limo in Golden Almond Metallic has to offer without sacrificing style for green cred and carbon footprint offsetting.

With only 110,000 miles on the hybrid powertrain and eight-speed CVT transmission, this two-owner ride can seat four in total luxury, especially the two lucky passengers in the back. For them, they’ll be able to fully recline and make use of all that legroom while watching episodes of BBC’s Planet Earth series on the drop-down LCD screen, and they can even enjoy massages with a push of a button from one of the two wired remote controls found in the center console.

There are many ways to drive green, but there are few ways to do it with style. And since Elon Musk already has enough cash, why choose a Tesla when this Lexus will do? Your wallet will happy, you’ll be happy, and the planet will be happy, too.
