Default It's been a long time

For the first time in 26 years, I no longer own a Lexus. Today, I made a seamless sale of my 2014 LS460 F Sport to Carvana. I'd only had the car about a year and a half, and as many of you know, I just wasn't a fan of the stiff and rather noisy ride. The good news is I actually got $500 more than I paid for it. So I feel very very lucky. My wife and I agreed that there is no rush to purchase another vehicle since I spend so much time at home which is where we both work. I'm certainly leaning toward a Genesis G90 and we'll see how that goes. If you ever plan on selling your car, go on the Carvana app or online and get a quote. They offered me $4,000 more than the other similar places. Cheers!

Lol. Actually I subtracted again and it's really 27 years a Lexus owner. Bought a 92 ES300 in 94. A 94 LS400 in 98. An 05 LS430 in around 2008. An 08 LS460 in roughly 2014 and the 14 F Sport in 2019. Looks like the streak ends here for now. About to finalize the deal on a different brand.

I know the LS500 is not loved here but I'd drive it if I was in the market. But if it wasn't as great as my LS... then I think I'd likely end up looking at Genesis also.

Even better, congrats on the Genesis! I thought you were getting a K900.

Yep. The F model is F-sport. Without the F its a base model. Sorry if that created confusion but the F-sport is about performance more than comfort.

The major differences between the base and the F include some very specific tuning for the adaptive air suspension which lowered the car. Also, the wheels are 19" vs the 18" on the base model.

Be safe and happy motoring.
