Please advise what issues you have noticed in your 4th gen and if there are any years to avoid.

Thanks.

Get 2013+ with as low as miles possible and a good service record.

Depending on your budget, get all you can. Starting in 2013 the interior was upgraded and the tech was improved. There is always a possibility for issues, but the control arms and brake actuator issues have been addressed. Not to say they can't go wrong, but much improved upon. If you do get a 13-17, take it to your local Lexus dealer and look into an extended warranty. I did with my 14 and always had peace of mind. Never needed it, but happy to have had it. Good luck.

OK, I wanted the V8, so the last year is the 17, I assume. Thanks.

Any difference between the 13-17 MYs?

TriC

There are very minor differences with the last 2 years being the best and, of course, the most expensive!

4-Gen has much less rattling then 5-Gen. 130.000 problem free miles on my 2013 Ls600hl

I'd ask this in the 5th gen board. It's highly unlikely anyone here has owned both an LS460 and an LS500.

The biggest difference is in the 16-17 you can use the entire 12.3" screen for maps. The 13-15 had split screens.
