TXLS430

I'm 52. First LS400 (pre-owned) in 1998, then a LS430 (pre-owned - which I still have with 258K miles), and now LS460 (pre-owned). So I may have been one of the younger guys at the time driving the LS400. Here in DFW I see the LS460 (and a few LS430's) on a fairly regular basis. I sometimes even spot a LS460 with the same color as mine (red) and I always try to park next to them - strength in numbers? When the extended warranty expires on the LS460 (several years from now) I think I will migrate to the Genesis G90, especially if I can get a good deal on a pre-owned one.

46 YO here in beautiful Orlando, FL. Second owner here. Though, the first owner was an older doctor. He only drove it back and forth to work. it's a 2009. When i bought it in 2016, it only has 46k miles on it. It's got 108k now. Smiles all those extra miles.

Age is relative. There are old 30 year olds and young 70 year olds. I’m on my 5th Lexus. Just turned 68 last month.

24 when I purchased my first 1991 LS. I did not know how great the LS would become at the time but I knew it looked good and was a bargain for a luxury sedan.

I'm 56 and have owned LS's for the past 4-5 years. I, too, have always been a fan of large 4-door sedans! I learned to drive on my parents 1974 Pontiac Catalina with a 400 CI engine. The bigger, smoother, quieter the better in my book. I don't even mind a "floaty" car... There really is no quieter or smoother car to drive than a Lexus LS600hL, and when I am cruising around sunk deep in the buttery-smooth leather seats with the M/L stereo cranked up a bit, I'm in heaven!

33, this is my second LS 460. I have always been partial to land barges- owning 4 Town cars since I was 16.

38 here.
I have my first LS, which I picked up at the end of last year. I've owned larger cars before. I owned a couple ex-police cruiser Crown Vics several years ago.

I think a good portion of the... eh... earlier model year individuals that own LS's may not be members of an internet forum. I'm assuming if this was a poll it would skew younger than actuality. I'm curious where the pockets of LS owners live. I don't see very many in the Milwaukee metro area.

there are not so many. Over a 4000 mile trip between Florida and Canada, I have seen one.

Never ever see em in Ottawa here in canada. I might have spotted one once, usually, it is a newer ES that appears to me as a facelift 4th gen, to me the sign is the front grill on the ES that looks off the headlights, not as pleasant looking as an LS

I'm 24, I'm an anomaly since both my parents are doctors and my grandparents are millionaires. I can drive basically whatever I want if I ask but I don't like wasting resources since that's how I was raised so I use a old LS as a daily. Before that I had a 2000 WJ base model, and before that my dads 120k mike at the time old top of the line truck. Still have the truck actually.....

I was offered $65k when I turned 18 for a car, I chose to not use it and continue driving my truck at the time. Could have easily bought a nice car instead but I didn't and still don't see the point in taking the depreciation hit of a new car when you already have a perfectly fine one. I then went on a tangent in life learning a bunch of practical skills, apprenticed in plumbing, electrician work, and finally and most deeply into vehicle repair and modification, I was supposed to take my full ride to OSU and become a doctor too but I didn't feel like I really knew myself and I feared I would lose my sense of identity in the wave of college life. I chose to first become more grounded in who I was before wading into the echo chamber that most higher learning is these days.

So now I'm going on the path to my doctorate and have a lot of practical knowledge and experience in life while doing so and also found a skill I really value and love to use in the form of working on cars. I have my own shop too to top it off so I don't have to be a typical broke student or have to draw from my parents constantly.

Oh and my old truck was subject to me seeing how hard it is to engineer a 5500lb 6.8 inch center of gravity, full plank of plywood area brick at .52 drag, brick to handle at .95g and accelerate faster than a 2016 Z06. It's very hard and takes an insane amount of hours and lots of one off parts to be made. It's not fully finished due to painting/body work being outside my skills but it's a fast and fun brick now.

I have to say that for you as a new member here, that is very impertinent to question people's ages. I will not give my age.

However, I will say that I took delivery of my brand new 2007 LS when I was only 59 years old!

mvorbrodt, welcome to Club Lexus.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I 59-60 years old (years young,LOL) when I purchased mine.
