A little off-topic (and maybe covered elsewhere), but is there any reason people are looking for the L (long wheelbase) version other than to provide more room for backseat passengers? Thanks.

dlbuckls10

The LWB comes with more standard features was my reason. The LWB provides more rear leg but the SWB is also roomy.

L has following features over base;

• Of cause additional 6 inch leg room (same frame as flagship 600HL)
• All around double pane glass windows for added sound isolation
• Headlamp washers - std
• Power door closure - std
• One touch trunk open-close - std
• climate control front seat and heated rear seat - std
• Heated steering wheel - std in L and AWD
• Intuitive parking assistance - std
• Individual vanity mirror for rear - std
• Intelligent high beam - std

Being long wheelbase, drive is floatier than base model.

Thanks for the info.
I'm not really looking for a L since I hardly have passagers in the back seat so a regular wheel base would had been fine with me.

So this 2010 LS is pretty loaded then?

FatherTo1

I wouldn't consider this 2010 as "loaded". It is missing the reclining and cooled rear seats, as well as no rear audio controls, no rear cooler box, no separate rear AC unit, no rear vibration/massage, and no rear side-sunshades (basically the Ultra Luxury package) -- but not an issue if you don't carry many passengers, they would already enjoy the extra legroom as it is. Also, without those rear seat upgrades you end up with a larger trunk! It does have the upgraded Mark Levinson audio system and has DRCC. The driver's side armrest also appears to have dark stains. But the big kicker for me is the VIN does not appear to have the updated control arms (see attached). Overall, I think it is a decent example and nice color combo inside and out. I would use the stains, control arms, and possible air suspension maintenance, as bargaining tools. Also, don't forget to register on the Lexus driver's site to inspect the maintenance history on the car. I would have seriously considered this example if I came across it six months ago and the maintenance record checked out.

Thanks for all that info. I did notice the stain on the driver side panel and arm rest.
I did check the history on the Lexus website and it shows that it go the control arms replaced last year as well as a tranny fluid exchange. Also a replacement of fuel pressure gasket. Several batteries were replaced as well. Not sure what this means : ALC VGRS ECU UPDATE
Looks like it's been maintained quite well and repaired when needed by Lexus dealers.

So much for Lexus' "Free" loaner cars... What's with the $10 "Participation" charge? Hope this doesn't creep into other Lexus dealers' standard operating procedures. It's not that I can't afford the $10 loaner charge, it's the principle of the thing... More erosion of the magical Lexus service experience...

jrmckinley

I recently bought a '10 L (July production) - I looked at the PDF you attached which is very helpful regarding the control arm change. I want to make sure I understand correctly - it says for an "L" the models produced BEFORE effective VIN with last 6 digits 040325 would have the older control arm design. I just looked at my VIN and this may be a really stupid question, but how do you determine if your car VIN is beyond that? Is it like an odometer reading? So for example 040327 would be AFTER 040325? And my car has 041XXX so would that be considered AFTER?

I have always been under the impression that Lexus production for a model year is September, so I purposely tried to find a '10 that was very late production (and therefore my car was 2 months away from being considered a 2011 model year) in an attempt to mitigate the risk of having to replace the control arms from the prior design. Thanks for any help.

jrmckinley

Markets are different, but that seems like a pretty reasonable asking price. I think you could get $1,500-$2,000 off. Again, markets are different, but here in FL I just bought a 2010 460 L in February with 20k less miles and the asking price was $25,800 (down from $29k). Down here, I found every 10k of additional miles translated to a reduction in asking price of $1k, which is why I think your car is pretty similarly priced to mine. I don't remember my final purchase price, but think it was somewhere around or just below $24k. FWIW, my car had brand new tires, the 5 star wheels but didn't have air ride. I still think you have some wiggle room on that car. Without knowing the taxes and fees in your area, I'd probably offer them $23,500 OTD and see what they say. The reality is it's 8 model years old and has almost 100k miles. It's an attractive car for lots of folks on this forum, but the general market demand is going to be pretty low (my car sat on the lot for 5 months before I snagged it). I'd ask them how long they've had it- They may have to wholesale it soon (some places can't keep cars longer than 60 days), so that should tell you that you can low ball the offer. Your goal is to be about $500 more than what they'll get to the wholesale market and they'll do the deal.

FatherTo1

Yes, JR, that's how I interpreted it, like odometer mileage. I would expect your VIN to have the updated control arm design. Going by the production date may be tricky because they don't make too many LSes to begin with, but in your case it seemed to be a safe indicator as well.

LS430FL

Just took my 11' production year in for service. Has 55K miles on it. Was informed both control arms need to be replaced. They are cracked I believe he said. I assumed mine had the updated control arms based on the model year but I guess it doesn't matter. I think they are about $1350 a piece. So, control arm issues could be any year even if it is believed the car has the updated kind. Glad the CPO is covering it.

I can't believe this car is still not gone.

hfahmy

now it is a good deal, go for it.

Wow that's quite pricey. That 2010 had all 4 replaced so it should be good for a while don't you guys think?

Lexusel

Curious if you looked into the warranty? My guess is it would be very $$$. Due to age I don't think it comes with the CPO warranty since it is over 6 years old (a sales guy once told me if I recall correctly).

LatinLS430

iTrader: (1)

I haven't looked into warranty on it yet.I do think it'll be quite expensive though.
I'm going to go check it out tomorrow and see what numbers they can give me.

The priced dropped even more since yesterday. Now it sits at $$22,971
