Default how to tell if it has air ride or not ?

hi -

i'm over from the previous generation LS section as my 2006 was roasted in a rear end accident.....

not to many 06's to pick from so I started looking at this next model version up.

i'm confused on which LS460 versions have air ride and which do not. how can you tell from for sale listings ?

i do not want air ride

thx

A LS 460 with air suspension will have a height and a comfort button below the gear shift. Many listings may say air suspension and actually don't have it. I think many just believe it comes standard on the 460.

Look at the pics of the center console. If it has a height high button it has air. It can be seen in this thread

Yes, you have to check all of them. I haven't seen a UL or Exec Package car for sale without air suspension, but they do exist. It's definitely harder to find those cars without air.

Unfortunately all sport models have Air suspension, most of the Long wheelbase have it, I think all the hybrids might have it. I don't think I have seen any base, non long wheel base, non sport, RWD LS460 with Air suspension for sale but they may exist.

Like every one has said, when looking at the pictures just look on the left side of the cup holders for the air suspension adjustment button/switch which will be next to the transmission/snow/economy adjustment switch. On non air suspension it is easy to see just 1 switch next to the cup holder as opposed to 2 switches next to each other for the air suspension.
