ls500 air susoension problems
2018 39K no problems. I had a used LS430 UL with air suspension 186K and still fully functional. (I sold it to a buddy.)
The air suspension is a big part of what makes these cars ride like they are on clouds. I would never buy one without it and would never decommission it. Repair replace and ride the clouds

Other unknowns include:
Did OP buy from dealer or other?
Is CarFax free of accidents or salvage.
Was car purchased with problem, or did it manifest itself later.
Is VIN within known problem area outlined in TSB?
Noy only am I trying to find out other peoples opinion on their ls500 but I'm also trying to let them be aware of problems that it has on the air suspension .I'm looking for answers and speaking the truth .Thats what this site is for

ALL air ride systems on every manufacturer have issues over time, including Lexus. They are all (more) expensive to repair and harder to troubleshoot. That’s a well known trade off for a nicer ride and flexibility in variable suspension settings that air ride suspension provides.
I would suggest looking at the advice members have offered you and provide some of the info they are asking you to help you troubleshoot your issue.
Then you shouldn’t have posted in the LS460 forum ( and others) multiple times, requiring the moderator team to do a lot of work to clean things up.
