Default 2013 LS460 purchase

I’m looking at buying a 2013 LS 460 sports luxury just wondering how much better is than my 2007 LS 460 which had a multitude of problems with the suspension and wind noise.
Is there anything I need to look out for particularly with this upgraded model even with 145,000 km full-service history with Lexus dealer

Are you referring to the f sport? If so, it’s a different car. The ride is stiffer. As for wind noise, in my opinion it’s still there. It is in my car. Perhaps mine is an isolated issue. So be sure and test it carefully for cabin noise.

not an f sport ... in Australia sports luxury is the top line version ... how many miles have you done ? Any suspension issues or anything I should look out for ?

i don’t drive mine that much. I got mine last August and I’ve put maybe 3000 miles on it. So I wouldn’t be a good test of suspension issues. I did get an extended warranty from Lexus that covers all the big stuff. So for 5 years, I’m good on things like air ride, control arms etc. doesn’t cover replacing the window gadgets and noise type things.

You may check the interior led strip under the trim, it seems many 2013 have the issue with the lights.

Many say it is not noticable even it works.

Drive it long enough before making desision.
