Hey all. I am based in Dubai and here we have a huge market of American spec cars. I did search lots of threads but couldn't find the answers to my queries. Maybe didn't look hard enough.
I am planning to buy an LS460 L full options between 2010 to 2012 and that's where I need expert opinion from previous owners. I have the following questions.
1. Which model has the least number of technical errors or manufacture defects?
2. What should I look into before buying the LS460 L?
3. When purchasing this car how do I find out the service and accident history?
Please advise.
Your replies would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Get the VIN number sign up for Lexus Driver and you can check every car you have the Vin for. Once you put in the vin go to service and click on service history and it will show everything that was done at a Lexus dealership or inputted by the individual.

I have a 2010 LS 460L that I have had zero problems with in 75K miles. I do not have air but you can see all the options it has in my sig below.

The early 2010's had issues with the brake actuators. Get the best deal 2011 or 2012 you can with service records to prove the service history of the car.

 

The air suspension is what I'm worried about. Would be costing a lot to repair. Do all the Lexus 2011, 12's have Air on the LWB L model??

 

No, there are plenty of 460 Ls without air suspension, at least here in the US. I'm not sure what the standard equipment was in Dubai, or which US cars ended up there.

When you're looking at listings, just check the center console for the suspension switch as seen in this pic.

 

I'd forget the 10 and look for an 11 or 12.

 

Thanks a mil
