I'm not a fan of the 2013+ front end, but i think the interior looks much better than previous models. I guess it would probably grow on me if I owned a 2013 instead of my 08'. Besides, I can't see the front when i'm driving anyway.

Both of those are gorgeous cars. I'd love to find a red one if I ever buy one.

I'd search for as long as it took to find one with the bamboo wood.

BTW: I've never seen another red F Sport on the road. I've seen a few in white and black, however. Just for fun I checked cars.com and there's not a single red F Sport for sale. I believe them to be quite rare.

Yes, I believe so, did not see any red ones in Vegas area, be it F-Sport or regular one, so it must be very uncommon color.

AJT123

It is rare, or not many people picked them. The 430 had a red paint option, it was darker and less vivid. I barely ever see them.

About as rare as my Matador Red with Ultra Luxury pkg. Just for the fun of it, I did a search of all the 2013-2017 in Red currently on cars.com, and if anyone is looking, this is another rare one: 2014 LS460 L in Matador Red with the Bamboo trim

amazing these cars are becoming a steal at these price levels... I have said this often, before anyone buys these cars used, pay 100 bucks and bring it to auto body shop to make sure the panels were not painted or body work done as the last piece before plucking down the $$ to buy these cars.. if your buying from out of state get it in writing the car has not been sprayed or body work done if an inspection is not available.....

Ughhh..... That is my dream 460, red with black leather with the bamboo. Miles are a little high for my tastes (although it doesn't matter) but 22k for that? That's an amazing used car value.

Too bad the L version won't fit in my garage.

Yes I agree the miles are high, I would not consider it, I would not buy a used car with more than 70k miles on the clock, I would rather pay more than starting to fix issues that typically appear on high mileage cars.

AJT123

LSs don't really have issues, but I agree 70k is about what I want in a used Lexus.

ragabnh

I had LS400, LS430 and I can tell you that I had some issues that came with high mileage but far less than their German Counterparts,

AJT123

Were they serious mechanical issues? I did control arm bushings at 110k, nbd, just a rubber suspension part that wears, and I think I did it to myself flying over those speed bumps honestly.

I have a door lock that's out, etc. but mechanically the car drives and rides brand new. 145k. Would drive it to Alaska and back tomorrow.

My 2013 LS600HL with 130.000 miles has never had a problem. My friends 600HL 2008 has also never had a problem except upper control arm left side, his car has 99.000 miles.

For the 1990 LS 400, Steering rack needed to be replaced as it was leaking badly a known issue for that model year, also A/C went out spent almost $2000 to get it fixed at dealer, radio lcd control panel was bleeding and needed to be replaced. Car was given to my inlaw with 130k miles on the clock,

For the 2002 LS 430 was sold at 85k miles at 2008 and the issue was the driver seat window electric switch went bad and was replaced by dealer,

always service my cars at dealership or Lexus specialized Technician,
