Yes, there is a button between the front seats that regulates the air ride. If a car does not have the button - no air suspension. AWD version has a badge on the trunk, if a car has no AWD badge on the trunk - no AWD.

I’ve had 4 LS’s and my latest is ‘17. This is the last year that has a V8. Consumers Report , based on member reviews, rates the 2014 as the most reliable with the best projected reliability. Mark Levinson audio is a must. I’ve always gotten the comfort package which has heated steering wheel, auto closing doors, auto roll down windows so you never have to get in a hot car ( I’m in the South ) and heated and cooled front seats. I’ve also always bought certified to stave off any unforeseen problems.

I would stay away from 07- ‘10. These years had the sticky dash and arm rests plus control arm problems which can be expensive to fix.

Good luck. You will love it.

If you haven't already, create an account with the Lexus Owner's Site. Enter the vin of the car in question. Then vehicle specifications. It will tell you about the car.

Welcome!
I own and drive an 05LS, 07LSL and a 15LSL.
I like all of them very much.
If $ is an issue get the 05LS with the lowest miles that fits your budget.
If $ is not an issue do the same on the 2015 or that gen.
I really like my 07 but as some have said, that gen comes with some issues that you may not want to deal with.
All of mine have been very reliable but something will break eventually.
Good luck!

BT audio is easily added to pre 2010 models for about $40. I have it in my 07.
