But would you buy it




2016 LS460L ​​​​​​​

 

Nope. Chances are too great you will have to spend a small fortune making the car road worthy.

 

No way....

 

Heck no. To many unknowns

 

No, simply no.

 

So i found this pic about the water level . Thoughts ?

 

In Carfax it has as Salvage title

 

Salvage title due to being flooded correct ? So he is asking 25k with 35k miles ,while online info show that it was bought for 14,700 $ with 9992 miles?. What was fixed..
original purchase ?

 

There are LS for sale that aren't damaged in that price range.

 

Was it truly at that level? How long? What type of water? Has it been used at all since then?

If they don't have seriously convincing info for all of the above it's not worth even considering it regardless of okay it may seem. It would at minimum require all fluids and the brakes to be disassembled to ensure no water got into them.

You would also need to pull off ALL the trim up to that level and clean it/inspect it and that goes for the interior carpet as well to make totally sure the water only came up to that level.

That's 10s of hours of work, and for that price hell no. That's my favorite combo minus the AWD but even still.....that's way too much risk unless you can get up close to it on a lift.

 

It’s from Naples, so it’s salt water from Hurricane Ian.

 

For reference, what to expect from flooded LS460 - this one is from Hurricane Harvey:

 

I’d buy it if I wanted the body panels from it to use on a wrecked car that wasn’t flooded.

 

Haha, true!

 

A high end car like this with as many electronics as it has? Absolutely not, unless you needed body parts and it was insanely cheap to pick off what you wanted; then, sell it for parts or send it to the crusher.
