hello all ,
I am glad joining this club , I am so close of joining LS owners as well .


I am looking for LS460 , LWB is preferred , I found one 2007 with very nice milage ( about 20k ) with touring package .

I have question , need your advice about it ,when I printed the maintinance report from lexus website , I found frequent record appeared 3 times with description (R/S NO START) .

what do you think that mean , should I worry about , or to pull the trigger and buy ?

thanks in advance

 

Were they right after one another. Sound like something was going on but I dont think I would worry about it. These cars are usually well maintained and driven mildly. Most LS owners are older and more affluent. They service the cars as needed and they dont do any track days in them LOL. Think of it as the total opposite of buying a car like the EVOX

 

Welcome. I sincerely hope you enjoy this forum as much as I have. There are so many really nice, incredibly "Lexus informed" members here to help you work thru almost any situation, problem, upgrade, maintenance, etc.

Your 470L sounds really kewl. Can't wait to see photos of your new beauty. Congrats - In advance !

Oh Yeah. ...... I8ABMR's advice is SPOT ON. The only question I would as ask if it's a private seller is "Why are you selling ?" and then gauge his/her answer. If it's a dealer, there are ways to take a looksee at their reputation.

thanks guys

should I move on and buy?

 

Does a cat have a tail?

 

Do you ?

 

Call the Lexus service department and ask them what it means.

 

Ain't saying.

 

Yeah, for peace of mind, I would want to know the details of the "NO START" entry.

 

Ask them if "No start" on this model car normally indicates a defective Crank Trigger Sensor.

Just a thought.

Good luck, Mikey

PS - And do not hesitate to call a different dealer - maybe even in a different state - and ask a service advisor there what he might have experienced in regards toward this problem.

 

Rest easy (most likely, though having the dealer confirm would be great)... Take a look at this, a probable culprit of the "no start" complaint: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/6547133-post12.html

I will add that even though you would expect LS owners to pay for maintenance and care for their cars, I was astonished at the number of LS460s I saw (back when I was looking) that looked like dogs had been living in them, not to mention dings, scratches, etc. Many of these had already been through the CPO process! (one of many reasons I'm not a huge believer in CPO)

Even people with money can be real slobs with their cars... I wanted to cry sometimes from witnessing such disrespect toward an LS

 

thanks all for your replies , seems that I will buy the car just to be with you guys
