Any Problems With Ls 460

[ISJason]

Hello

I am considering buying a second hand LS 460, and am wondering if anyone has any feedback on the cars?

thanks

I think the only problem with the LS460 is I don't have one . I have driven a couple of LS460's now and they are awsome. I can't see that they are much better at all from the LS430 but they are very different. The only gripe I found really was with the 8 speed gearbox. There are too many ratio's than it really knows what to do with which is somthing I find with the six speed box in my LS430 but appart from that, it is an awsome bit of kit.

My dad has an LS460 and I drive it a lot.

There are two design issues with it that bug me.

When the wipers are in 'auto' mode to give the wipers a swish you must click them up to off, then click them up to swish.

Where as in the LS430 you simply pull the level forwards no matter what section it is in.

In the LS460 pulling the level forwards activates the spray.

The second issue is that they have pulled the buttons for height, pwr, comfort, rear blind, seat-heaters & coolers etc up near the arm rest, where it is impossible to see whilst driving.

Where as on the LS430 they are nearer the centre-forward in eye veiw of the driver all the time without taking the eyes off the road for too long at all.

This in my view makes the LS430 the most ergonomic car I have ever driven and the LS460 frustrating.

However the LS460 is so much nicer inside and out that I would suffer the slight design faults. My daughter says the LS460 looks like a Maserati and the LS430 looks like an Avensis (just to ***** me off... :-)

It is my goal to own one.

You are very fortunate to even be considering this car given the current climate. Well done. You won't be sorry I am sure.

The boot on the SE and SE-L versions is very small, and the paintwork is too easily scratched, but otherwise the LS460 is a lovely car.

Shame I don't have mine any more - it got repossessed while I was in hospital. Now on sale at a Lexus Dealer

**** sorry to hear that, hope you are well.

we have a ls430 and a few doors down a neighbour has a ls460 se-l

he took me for a spin in it and it wasnt to far away from our ls430 in terms of road noise e.t.c

i asked him how hes finding it yesterday and he said he cant fault it, before that he owned a e class and a jag xj, before that it was a mk1 gs300 and his wife has a is200, he sed he wouldnt buy nething else now
