What is the deal with the 2017s above 50k with sub 20k miles?
Are they really getting that for them?
I'm not talking about the lwb or executive ones.
Seems to me they should be in the middle high forties.
No?
Didn't most all the base 2017s originally sell in the high sixties?
I just started looking.

 

I purchased my 2016 LS back in July of last year and I paid $58,000. It was CPO with the F Sport and comfort packages and only had 3,200 miles on it. It still had the window sticker in the glove box which had an MSRP $84,000.

 

I passed on a 2016 F Sport just a few months ago. They came down to $44K. It had 46,000 miles on it. Last I looked, it's still sitting.

 

According to my salesman the gently used LS460's are bringing good money due to the mixed reviews of the LS 500. I agree with him.

 

It's odd, the price on a new 19 this Dec is going to be maybe ten k more
Than a great 2017. I don't know... Haven't driven the new one yet. I don't like the chatter
About them.

 

The new one is a very different car. Like Fun Fact said I think its beautiful and I love the interior, but it feels much tighter, less headroom, hiproom and legroom, its sportier, feels lower to the ground, firmer. I bought my 17 new at the end of the model run once I found ot as much about the 500 as I could, I've driven a couple of them and I prefer the room of the 17 and how it rides and drives.

 

The combination of a great trade-in value on a 2017 LWB and deep discounts on 2018 LS500s helped seal the deal when I switched last November. I love the LS500 and my wife no longer makes fun of me for driving a geriatric car (she's done that ever since I bought a 2002 LS430 many years ago and kept telling me to get a BMW 5 series). I never cared, as I thoroughly enjoyed all the LS cars that I've owned.

Two days into my ownership of the LS500 I had forgotten all about how the LWB rode....

 

The bigger issue for me is the space inside. I'm sure especially with replacing the runflats it would ride fine. To me its more a car like a Jag XJ or a Panamera which just isn't what I'm looking for.

 

Exactly!! The 500 is a beautiful car in and out but Lexus moved away from the traditional LS owner with the new model. A lot of us moved up from the the ES to the LS 460.

 

Have you seen the 2020 ES?

 

To be honest have to do a double take, it’s looks like a mini LS00. The f sport looks amazing

 

An LS with a V6 might as well be called an ES imo

 

It does look nice. I was behind one today at a red light with a delayed green, which the ES owner didn't notice as he went thru the red on our side. He's lucky he didn't get hit before he even got plates on the car.
