Used LS 500 for sale
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 LS 500, so we've included reviews for other years of the LS 500 since its last redesign.
Overall VERY positive, but electronics are abysmal

I knew the electronics were weak in this car before I bought it, but I use Apple CarPlay, and as it gets better, I figured the overall experience would get better. Too much trackpad interface - just too much. It's not AT ALL intuitive, and it poses a conflict of driving on the road and having to push the trackpad button SEVERAL times for simple functions. For example, getting air flow into the rear of the car. There is no hard button to push - you have to go through the menu, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find when you're NOT driving, let alone when you're traveling at 70 mph. There must be 5 pushes of the trackpad to facilitate this. Besides the electronics, the car is lovely. It is responsive, the Sport Mode is very cool and powerful, and the interior is just well-sculpted and pristine. The ride is library quiet, and the luxury is unparalleled. When reviewing, I take into account the OVERALL experience, which in my case is VERY positive. Nicest car that I have owned, and I just gave up the Porsche brand after 15 disappointing years. I had the 2017 Cayenne Hybrid, which I could not wait to get out of, and several other cars before this. I have driven Mercedes, BMW 745 Li, and other luxury brands, but the LS 500 is not only the nicest car, but also the best value. If the company could get their arms around better electronics, everyone would be driving the Lexus.

The Lexus LS 500, is how every car should be made. Attention to every detail inside and out. The Lexus buying experience is like no other. I have owned 3 Lexus in the past kept each a long time including a 2003 Ls430. I left the Lexus family in 2013 when I bought a Cadillac XTS...then in 2018 leased a Genesis G90. These brands think they are Luxury Automobile/Brand but in my experience and opinion, they do not come close in the car and definitely not in the Staff. As I mentioned, very happy to be back home with Lexus.

For me maybe the best sedan ever made at any price. I have a 2022 LS 500 purchased used with 16000 miles. Looks and smells new. Ride and cabin noise is excellent except I need to ditch the run flat tires which cause road rumble and harshness. I have the variable suspension modes. Fit and finish are excellent. Comfort is high and I have the luxury interior. With a touch screen the touch pad is unecessary. Acceleration is everything you need. I have inquired about reliability at Lexus dealers on LS 500 from 2018 forward. I am told it has no weakness. Styling inside and out is very pleasing. This is a luxury sedan and not a sports car. Having said that, it still is responsive to drive on winding roads. I bought the car to drive between Las Vegas and San Clemente CA. on mostly I 15. You will arrive fresh everytime even when there are traffic delays. The mileage is phenomenal on the highway though it requires premium gas. I have test driven a Genesis G90 and found it not to be as refined in any respect as the LS 500. I have not driven a Mercedes S class vehicle which I have read is a very nice automobile but has reliability and depreciation issues I choose to avoid.

This new 2018 LS 500 is my sixth Lexus, and it is far and away better than any of my previous cars. I was reluctant to buy it because of the negative review by Consumer Reports, but they missed the mark in this newly redesigned gem that is patterned after their new LC 500. I rate it at the highest level.
