lol i saw this too... when doug is talking about used LS's you know something is up. 40k+ is still too much for my budget. But objectively it's a steal.

I own my 2019 two years now, bought used and thought "For the money" it was a great car!
We often discuss comparing 2025 models to BMW or Mercedes which are not priced the same.
I get that after three years someone leasing a 2022 LS500 would see the 2025 Mercedes as an "Upgrade". If money is not an issues or impediment this is true.

We have had our ‘02 LS430 for decades. We pamper it and keep it garaged as much as possible. It was a great purchase used. No major problems with it.

We have had our ‘20 LS500 going on 3 years. I can’t imagine getting rid of it unless it gets wrecked or hail damaged.

Pick the right used LS and enjoy it forever. I still am amazed at the quality of these cars. They both attract attention. Neighbors think we are loaded because we drive a “hundred thousand dollar car.” Ha! What they don’t know…..
