A Perfect Luxury Car
I bought my 2012 LS 460L with 18K miles certified at a Lexus dealer in Miami FL. Drove it back to NC and found it to be the most comfortable car imaginable. Had a 2006 LS 430 which was also a near flawless car. I like everything about this car and it simply devours long trips on an interstate. Have only driven 3500 miles since buying it, but it is so comfortable and enjoyable to drive.
Comfort and Quiet in a luxury package!
This is my second Lexus LS! Cost of ownership is minimal other than oil changes every 5 to 7 thousand miles. Comfort of ride and a quiet environment sets the LS apart from its competition! 4 years into ownership and my LS rides like the day I drove it off the showroom floor..

Crap!
I could write a story which may not fit this page about my experience with Lexus LS460AWD , but decide to provide some summaries: up to 52k regular maintenance, oil change, filters, scheduled services base of mileage , etc. no problems. 52k - 96k things get very bad. This is the list of thing I fixed: break calipers drive shafts both sides upper control arms and bushings changed 2x ! both sides struts mount plates both sides swing bar left break actuator front differential approx. repair cost $20.000
The Inside Melts
I am very disappointed in Lexus and Lexus Brand Engagement. My last three cars have been Lexus LS. My wife and I currently have two Lexus LS - a 2012 and a 2015. The interior of the 2012 is melting away (sticky and cracked) - especially the four arm rests, the glove box and center console. I brought the 2012 to the dealer yesterday and was told if I brought the car in by March all the parts would have been replaced free of charge with new ones under a customer support program ZLZ. I called Lexus Brand Engagement yesterday and spoke to them today. They claimed that they sent a notification to my wife in 2018. She does not recall receiving it. Since, I was unaware of the ZLZ program, I drove the car with all its flaws for several years. My wife and I have been servicing our cars at the same dealer since 2006. No one at the dealership ever commented on the deteriorating interior or the existence of the ZLZ program. According to the Lexus Brand Engagement representative it was my responsibility to report the problem, not the dealers. The logic - it was not a safety related issue. I am completely dissatisfied with this response.
last of the breed
the ls 460 as we know it , will be replaced shortly , with a a high tech version , too expensive for youngprofessionals , and too complicated for the over 45 crowd . the dash / interior is full of the features found on the 2013 GS model , which was released in may 2012 . The GS isn't exactly a barn burner in terms of popularity . the lexus factory is incentivising the current ls 460 models , where the price is close to a 2013 GS. ( + or - ) $ 60 k for a midsize bmw wanna be . if you are looking for the ultimate all around , ultra quiet , concert hall on wheels with status , grab an LS while they last .
