I have a cherry 2009 LS 460 w/32K, in Starfire Pearl, dove gray interior. Mark Levinson Sound. Goofy chrome package added my Germaine Lexus Naples. Absolutely love it!!! I bought it from the orig owner in Oct 2019 w/10K. Total cream puff Florida car always garaged. All lexus dealership maintained. All receipts. JMLexus family members here! I've seen $$'s on BaT go for $40K+! Should I sell my "forever car" while the gettin' is good? My husband's 2021 GX 460 lease is up in August. It has 4500 miles! I kinda want it as my "new forever car" Should I list my LS and use the proceeds to buy his lease turn in? I want it real bad. But I don;t really need it. Forgive this very 1st post, if it's in the wrong Thread/Forum.

 

I wouldn't sell it for any other reason than you have some other car that you want. If thats your husbands GX, then go for it. Personally I prefer the LS to the GX.

Point is I wouldn't sell a car you love just because "its a good time to sell it"

 

Only you can make that decision. It’s a very personal thing! For me, I only sell if there is something I’m not happy about.

 

You've had the car for over 3 years and have only driven it 22,000 miles........I say sell it and buy something that makes you want to drive more often. I mean, one of my cars is a supercharged 2019 Shelby Cobra GT500. For all intents & purposes I bought it as an "investment". But I found that driving it every day is more satisfying than washing garage dust off it twice a month.

Turn in the lease vehicle, sell your car, refinance the house, cancel the kids college tuition and buy a 2023 Lexus LFA. 🤷

 

No such car

 

Is that car really worth $40k?

I would assume $20k max at the current market.
a 50k example would be worth $12-15k

 

You missed the boat lol. Good luck getting 25k for that

 

Don't be fooled by that recent one-off LS 430 sale on BaT.

Low mile LS 460s are not unusual and not in high demand. Yours is worth low to mid 20s max.

 

Used car market is still pretty strong. It's still a great time to sell.

 

I would hold on to it. Lexus will never produce a car like this again. It's all down hill from here

 

Maybe $20k. See what Carmax, Carvana want to offer. That would be more realistic.

There is a 2013 LS460L near me with 55k miles, asking price about $31k. Bet that sells for about $25 to $27k.

 

I never like that gen of LS especially before the refresh.
If you can sell it and get $25-30k then definitely do it.

The GX460 will hold its value much better over time as its much more useful off-road capable SUV that will always have demand.

 

Yes agree that the late model GX460 is a better car and more reliable.

 

Better is relative. It’s completely different.

 

Yep. The LS460/600 was the pinnacle for Lexus, they are no longer a tier one brand outside the LC.
