My budget is in this 07 - 09 range and was curious on the 07 vs 09
rwd vs awd
other items to consider?
this would be my first lexus
Thoughts?

 

I'm not an expert on this Gen LS but i do know.. do not buy 2007-08 model LS460. Those years have the Valve Spring Recall. http://www.lexus.com/recall/index.html

I would go for the 2009. Either RWD or AWD. If it was me I would just go regular '09 LS460 RWD Short Base. Unless you like the Longer version the 460L (i believe 2 inches more space in the rear cabin).

 

5 inches longer and all goes to the rear cabin (leg room).

 

..........and, probably, a little more ride comfort and stability from the longer wheelbase.
