I just bought an 08 LS460 with 275k miles. Normally I would be very hesitant to buy a car with that many miles but it was so well maintained I couldn’t pass it up. Amazing car!

A neighbor of mine had the last year model LS 430 ('06 I think) which he drove for 560, 000 miles before he was rear ended and totaled the car. Never any issues just normal maintenance and replacement items. He replaced it with the exact same vehicle that he bought used with about 120, 000 miles. His goal is to record more miles than his previous LS.

Back in the late 90's, my boss had one of these & I got to drive it, for delivering customer orders. Big, fast, quiet, comfortable & one heck of a stereo. What a way to go! 😲😲😲

I recently sold my 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and bought a used Lexus IS 350 .. I love it .. Lexus is an Amazing Car company..the interior is just gorgeous

[chimster]

One thing I got to say about the beauty covers is that they actually do a great job of soundproofing the ticking noise of the injectors on my 2017 Kia Sorento..that crappy 2.0 GDI Turbo oiling burning piece of...BLEEEEP!

[riccosmooth]

If one is to get an LS460, stay away from 2007-2012 if you can help it. Respectively, the 2013-2017 LS460 is the better route. If you desire an older LS, my recommendation is the 98-00 LS400 or the 05-06 LS430 which featured the most year end model updates. This tattered LS460 is still better than any W220 or W221 Benz, believe that.

[SEVEN_DUCK]

0:44 look at all that beauty cover!!!(plastic crap if it wasnt a lexus) lolol. Good afternoon scotty!

I bought a 2008 ES350 specifically because it's built off a Camry. My previous camry ran perfect for years until a head on collision...which the car saved my life. Thought about getting the V8 4 door....but remembered....I basically own a camry in my ES350.

I have a 2008 LS460. It's currently sitting at 345, 000 miles, and I haven't done any work to it besides routine oil changes (which I'm going to be honest, have been behind on at times), tires, etc. Still runs pretty good, only problems id say is I think the transmission is slipping because its RPM's shoot up, and that it absolutely consumes engine oil (says oil is low or empty 2500 miles after an oil change). When I got the car, it was at 298k miles, and the previous owner never used premium gas, only regular. I drive about 500 miles a week for work.

Great post. I have a 2002 ES 300 with 167, 000 miles and it’s amazing. Over the summer replaced all four struts After the back ones were leaking. The only thing I can think of is the original owner had large heavy objects in the trunk which caused them to wear out faster than normal

My car is flawless quiet tight. The fit and finish is unparalleled. Not a creak or rattle.
If I was going to get V-8 I would get the earlier LS 430 model.

[jpete]

I have a 2007 LS 460. It has 68, 000 miles. I love it. It’s been babied for it’s life. Frequent oil changes, garaged, etc. I have no doubt I’ll be able to get 200k out of it if I keep it long enough. This example looks like it’s been neglected. Probably lack of oil changes if I had to guess. I think you can get away with a neglected Lexus or Toyota V6 as they are tough as nails but a Lexus V8 that’s neglected I’d steer clear of. But if you can find an LS in great condition there is nothing like a Lexus V8. Much more fun than a V6 Scotty!

Scotty, I just purchased a 2001 Toyota 4Runner 3.4L V6, Has just over 261K miles. I have to say, it’s a great suv! I’ve always wanted a 3rd Gen. But really was concerned with the reliability of the high mileage ones. (That was all I could afford) coming from a Volkswagen Jetta. The parts for the Toyota, are so cheap. I had to get a new radiator, it was $120 “in stock” at auto-zone! A radiator for my Volkswagen would have been well over $300.
Not only was it easy to work on, it’s a easy car to drive, everything is simple and where you’d expect it to be. Toyota and Lexus really have stuff figured out. And they have for the past 25+ years.
I watched a few of your Toyota videos, I’ve noticed you high recommended the 4Runner. Specifically the 3rd generation! I can see why! If anyone wants a great vehicle, a 4runner is the way to go!

[Billfish]

My 2019 Lexus GS-F has a V8 and it's the smoothest running engine I've ever seen, love it.

[brandonstclair]

I had one of those and I finally traded it in after it had a coolant leak under the intake manifold that cost a fortune to fix. It sure was fun car to drive but it had too many issues. I got a 4Runner and it’s great.

[THEHOMAN]

Not Lexus, but I have a Toyota 5.7 V8 with just over 300, 000 miles on it. She wears her beauty cover during the colder months, and she goes topless during the warmer months. She makes some valve noise, and the performance exhaust is loud when it's cold. I figured the torque converter had grown tired of searching for 5th and 6th gear, so I drive in S-4. I up-shifting when needed and always launching in S-4... Zero hesitation, smooth idle, and it will smoke the rear tires if you so desire.

Someday I hope to have Scotty analyze this engines live & recorded data.

[jeffs]

Recently had a Lexus in here for intermittent stall at a stop light. Dealer thought it might be the alternator???? @ They wanted $800.00 for the not sure repair. I checked it out. Told her the battery was weak. Low voltage at idle could cause the IAC to not work properly. A month later she stopped in. Said it never stalled again and gave me a nice tip!

[tubebobwil]

I think these deep diagnostic videos are my favorite Scotty vids.

Hey scotty! I just wanted to say that I really wish I had an automotive teacher like you back in high school. I was really interested in cars back then but my teacher would pick on me and call his students names and basically told me I didnt have the brainpower to be a technician. That pretty much killed any aspiration I had for any kind of technical work. It really messed with my head. I just wonder how differently things had gone if I had a teacher like you back then instead.

Only later as an adult did I realized I should have never listened to that A-hole but when your a kid that kind of stuff Is hard to let go.

[KingBaldEagle_Prosperity]

I’d still get this generation of Lexus . I like the style, they’re well made .
