Default 2013 the 4th gen of 460's?

thanks

2017 was the last year for the 460/600.

The LS 500 would be in this forum: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...8-present-289/

The 460 changed at 2013, non EV correct? How do you tell if a 2013+ has A/S?

Ehm, sorry? 460 was never EV, you're thinking LS600h. What is 'A/S'?

Right, I was assuming the 600 possibly went to 2017, not sure.

My question is for the 460, the 2013 is a new bodystyle but the forum name has years up to 2017. The 2007 to 2012 are the same bodystyle correct? 2013 is new.

Just trying to understand so I can get to the next question which is, are 2013 and 2014 good years to buy? And if so how do you tell which have A/S = air suspension?

Thanks

2013 was a major overhaul but still the same generation/body style.

2007-2017 are mechanically the same/extremely similar. 2013 was the front end and back end refresh as well as a new dash and more standard materials/options.
2018 is the LS500/5th Gen

Air cars will have controls for the suspension on the center console, a pic of that area is the easiest way to tell

Good questions. Suggest you read the FAQ at top of page. It has lots of info on issues and years. Generally, many recommend 2013 or newer for multiple reasons including lower miles related to age. Plenty love the older ones as well. A lot depends upon what repairs have already been done. As with any foreign brand, repairs can be expensive as well as certain parts. Air suspension is very nice but also an expensive repair,
