LS600: why?
Hello.
Ok, I found that there're quite a few owners of LS600hL sedan.
But why did you buy LS600hL over LS460?
Better interior, fuel economy or just for fun?
Any ideas are welcome.
Regards!

For me, my decisions to purchase my LS600hL over a LS460 were (in order of importance):
1. AWD
2. CVT
3. Stealth mode (It's fun to silently sneak by pedestrians).
Mileage was WAY down on the list, of mild interest.
"Exclusivity" wasn't even on the list. I'd rather be anonymous.
LED headlights was a minus. I prefer the brighter HID.
The long version was a minus. I'd have preferred the standard length.

3 year old LS600hL or brand new LS460?
Actually, that brings up an interesting question.
In 2 years, my 3 year lease will be up.
I'm guessing that the residual value of the LS600hL will be $70,000 to $80,000.
So, I'll have to decide whether to spend $70,000 to $80,000 to buy my 3 year old car that will probably go many more years without any major failure or the same amount of money for a brand new AWD LS460 with most everything that the LS600hL has except CVT and stealth.

If it's only 55k or so then that makes my decision easier.
I'll probably buy the car and keep it for 5 years or so after the lease runs out.
I like the car and would enjoy keeping it.....Even with all of its whiz bang gadgets and features, it should turn out to be very reliable.

If its only $55K, then it's relatively cheap to buy the 600hL ...
