Default "Rarity" of fully loaded LS460L's

Hey everyone. As some of you know, I recently sold my fully loaded 07 460 SWB. I am hunting like mad for a 2010 LS460L but finding out that there appears to be zero to none fully loaded LWBs out there. Been looking for about a month on every site and monitoring OVE/Manheim also.

I'm trying to find a 2010 white, silver or black 460 LWB with:

*Dynamic Radar Cruise/Pre Collision
*Air Suspension
*Rear Seat Entertainment System
*Comfort Plus that has semi recline rear seats,power headrest and cooled/heated
*Luxury Package
Bottom line..every single option minus exec seating config.

Does anyone on CL have this 460 setup without being a 600hL? Regardless of color, is it that rare?? I am even considering a 2009 600hL just to ensure I get these options (Premium Package II) seems to be in every single used 600hL I have seen for sale. 2008 Hybrids can be had at auction for about $47k or less right now so that may be the route. Or if I can wait even longer to scoop a 2010 600hL once new body is released on July 30..which may drop value somewhat.

If anyone has any statistics on fully loaded 460Ls produced ..please chime in. I think I'm in for a long search unless I get the 600..thanks

Hey I have an 08 460L with all those option with only 24,000 miles on it. My car looks and smells brand new, but I tell you what I went thru hell trying to find it and it did take a min to find it. Everyone that see's the car is very impressed even the dealership in Orlando. Be patience and it will come good luck!!!!

Yeah it's a little hard to find all that. I know Nat has an 08 with all those options. For me I could care less for the rear entertainment package. I like having full control of the radio. Now i think the climate control setup on the +10 models take up a lot less space in the trunk than a 07-09. In the earlier models it takes up nearly half the trunk! I also could live without the radar cruise control thing. So my 07LWB has nearly all the options execp that.

Not that getting a 600 would be a bad thing but the initial goal was 2010+...2010 600s are still $70s...I don't have Romney money unfortunately

Haha...being sarcastic..I go right to pics of rear armrest or center console.. most of the ones I find just have rear armrest with no switches and just a shiny patch of wood grain looking back at you

I am looking for center console that that look like this..all buttons occupied..no dummy switch panels or excessive amounts of woodgrain.



Rear console needs to look like this:



Steering wheel needs to look like this with the extra button on the bottom right so the hold button isn't so lonely holding down one side of the wheel

It's very hard to find..... Took me awhile to find my 08 with all options you mentioned minus exec seating.

Good luck!

I just called a lexus dealer that had one but limited photos on the website not showing the front or rear consoles. He said it had the rear seat package with cooled and heated seats with recline. I told him to send me fresh photos from his phone . This jive azz turkey sent me a pic of a block of wood so I had to educate him on rear seat upgrade packages.. wth..Cmon son!! This is the third or fourth time I had to educate a sales person at Lexus on this stuff

This is the exact reason I bought my 600hL, I wanted all of the options especially rear seat entertainment without the executive package. I didn't want the big center console of the executive package. I got a low mileage one the exact color as my 09. It is also nice that it has a leather dash, LED headlights and wood shift **** that the regular LS doesn't have and has unbelievable torque from a roll.

the majority of 460s are SWB. So to find an L and a loaded one at that , its going to be tough. Its out there. Be patient. I also think many owners like to hold onto their LS460 ( and 430s). Good luck
