Default Help: 2010 LS460 Sport Vs 2010 AWD w/ Appearance Package?

I'm battling between these two.. Help me decide

I'm in the process of purchasing a use LS460. I'm glued to the Sport Package, but cant decide weather I prefer an AWD. Both vehicles are equipped with Air Suspension and Mark Levinson Audio.


2010 - LS460 Sport - $34700 (CPO 2yr/100k) - 32k miles - From Frisco, TX - Never been exposed to salt

2010 - LS460 AWD w/ Appearance Package - $33445 - 32k miles - From Queens, NY - Supposedly been exposed to salt

I'd go for sport. Color is great. Plus bigger breaks and whatever suspension enhancements come with it. Don't like the plastic ground effects on any if them.

I went through the same decision process. I picked the Sport, and am happy. Sport has:
- Brembo brakes
- 19" forged wheels
- More supportive seats
- Full leather door panels
- The IS-F transmission with paddle-shifting and rev-matching
- A full-leather smaller-diameter steering wheel
If you are in TN you don't need AWD, and since RWD is lighter & has lower drivetrain friction it achieves better fuel economy than the AWD version. It also has slightly more horsepower due to a less-restrictive exhaust system.

Not to mention the lack of salt spray corrosion underneath.

Just a few thoughts....

thanks for the input... The dealer accepted my offer. I'll be bringing home a 2010 LS460 Sport Edition in a couple weeks.

I just sold my baby a few weeks ago (2004 Acura TL 6MT) and I currently have a 98 LS400 as my daily, but definitely excited to see what the 460 is all about.

I live literally 2 miles away from that dealer in Frisco. Congrats on the deal!
