I'm 36. Look like I'm 26 though. I couldn't tell you the average age of other LS460 drivers because I never see any others on the road.

If I look around online, there are only 5 LS460's for sale in the ENTIRE country.

Just bought 2010 LS 460 Sport couple days ago. It has 60K miles on the clock for $15,9K. Such a good deal after talking the dealer all the way down, I had to to buy it.

Anyways, this will be my second LS 460. The first one was in 2007 LS460 and sold it in 2013. I am now 50 years young in SFL area.

I want to mod LED lights, etc. (PM me if you know best way to do swoosh light - my big hands won't be able to do it).

so, any guys/gals under 40 here? 35? 30 (gasp!)?
Yep. I’m 19. Have a 2007 LS460s.

30 here in Fort Worth, Texas. Bought my 2010 LS 460 in 2018. Just put on some 20" Vossen VFS10 wheels this year. I think they go together really well! Vehicle still rides really well and absolutely nothing is currently wrong with it. Since I have owned it, I've replaced 2 lower control arms up front, did the Valley Plate that leaks coolant, all door panels

and other routine maintenance. I was always intimidated by the possible cost of ownership on these since I've read some that had so many issues. So far so good here!

Currently 27 years old with a 2011 LS 460 LWB.

Also own a 2016 RX-350 F sport


It all started when I was 18 and bought a 2003 GS350. Since then I’ve bought 2 ISF’s, 14 GS, 08 GS, and a 2005 LS430 UL.

I’m addicted! My wife does give me a lot of crap for buying the LS. Calls me a grandpa. What can I say, I like to drive in comfort.

I am 43 and love the ls 460. My 16 yr old daughter said she would drive it in a heartbeat. She thinks it's super cool.

38, driven an LS for around 8 years (2 for the 430) and stopped driving my ls600h 2 days ago since the transmission went bye bye and the car is considered totaled with repairs more expensive than the car is worth.

I’m 34, and daily an IS350 and weekend drive an ISF. Heavily considering selling the IS350 for an LS460. Need more room for the family. I could care less what the average age group is. I like what I like .
