Every single part of the car needs replacement, brakes everything i cant coupe with the expenses....so many expenses so little time, because rust is increasing speed... Under my car rust is big, whole chasis is rusted, my rear wheel arches are rusted as well, suspention etcs...
in the end car value will be tripled... i mean my money spend over that car..

 

That's okay, you're already neck deep in that money pit anyway, might as well go all the way. Don't stop now.

 

Please advice me i am saving money For my next car as well, which will be LS, but i need to repay- to the bank , this one first, or sale it and repay again...
what i should do with my rust bucket?
I cant drive it with that unstable condition...... Everything i touch it brakes or falls a part...
its like a house of cards...
house of suprises...
i was thinking lexus is reliable... number 1 of reliability...
but mine is falling a part...

 

Forget the LS, GS is better. That LS will just be another rust bucket anyway. A larger rust bucket and even deeper money pit.

 

Ls will be newer car year 2018 or up, it will probably be petrol fuel only, so very easy to look after car no batteries no gimmicks,
air suspention, this suspention last forever, also i will get it with very low mileage, less than 50.000k and i plan to import LS from Usa or Canada, i will not trust European sellers anymore since they scammed me , conned me last time.....
People from Usa are great, and i plan to change,gearbox,oil,differential oil to the ls and it will drive me to the moon, i also drive on my daily basis my classic cars on lpg so ls /gs is for special time only..I am older person now and i need massages and GS cant provide me massages, also my driver seat is broken so i even cant use my 18 way adjustment and no driver seats in europe used... and still no one to fix it.....
So i cant enjoy my car so much...
Currently the suspention drives me mad.
I have driven car today to the car wash and i washed by my self.

 

You are mistaken about the early models 5LS, they actually have lower predicted reliability than other Lexus models and red rating from consumer reports. Until 2021 they also had a pretty stiff ride which was changed last year so it might not work well with your bad back. Any Lexus (or any other brand) with an air suspension rides great but is big bucks to repair and owners live in fear of that repair bill.

add to that your inability to get parts or a knowledgeable mechanic for that high strung turbo motor and you should be making a different decision to buy something you can get serviced locally.

 

I doubt that Ls which is at 50.000k miles or less , will be worse than my rusted , flawed bucket, right now i need to replace whole suspention, LS have 5 years of warranty, they will start to fall a part at least at around 100k miles or more , and rust wont be an issue if i manage to get car which is 2-3 years old , if not flooded...
Also Pure petrol cars are easier on maintenance and they are lacking battery and extra spare parts needed for hybrids , i never tested any Ls since its not available around but suspention, as far as i know on air can be tuned to be comfortable more soft or stiff right , i have driven s-class,audi a8 and ,vw phaeton all with air suspention and it was adjustable... whats the point of having air suspention if its not adjustable?
The only important thing on LS for me is they have 28 way adjustable driver seat, which i guess is the best in the industry + massages! )) Thats a great approval from my side, and i bet this car will last longer than s-class ,audi a8 or other german car like bmw 7.
You personally Dave drive LS, so you think the same that Ls is the best car
Its flagship lexus product.I am not in a hurry i dont know when i will save up for used Ls, hopefully soon.

Bg is poor country and people here, they think of different ways to save money, air suspention is recycled , 1 air suspention to be recycled cost 100$ so for whole car to be recycled suspention in case its damaged broken i will need to spend 400$ instead of right now around 500$ for Shock which is not air...
I am aware that LS have 2 turbos which can fail, but again Bg is poor country, here people recycles turbos instead of buy brand new or used ones...
turbo mechanics is not changed for the last couple of years.So i am very optimistic.
I dont plan to drive LS on a daily base like my gs, so i will not add that many miles....

I have another cool idea, but its not offered here.
I can rent LS or some other cool car, that way i will not need to pay Garage//parking spaces.....extra insurances per year, tyres maintenance , but LS is not available not for test drive to rent or other option........
very few cars are offered as such options and i am not approving any of them........ i cant even rent in the same way Infiniti, of ACURA RLX... or Jaguar XF, so my only option is to buy the flagship LS used from States .Hopefully i will have more luck compared to my European purchase.

Dave do you think i should also buy rear shocks as well or , not sure if they are not failed or when they can fail if i dont order rear shocks soon i will receive them in year 2023 ....

 

You will have zero warranty and be totally on your own just like you are with your trouble prone GS. The 5LS motor is new for Lexus and more trouble prone. Your local turbo mechanic will not know what’s going on with that advanced engine, they will have no clue.

I drive a previous Gen LS which I prefer to the newer one which is smaller, more cramped inside and rides rougher. And I have a Lexus dealer 10 miles from my house.

I think you should buy an Audi or Mercedes.

For your current car, buy them all they are likely all going to fail soon

 

Thanks Dave i will order rear shocks as well so i dont miss the delivery so i can receive all 4 shocks in september not rears in year 2023.

My Mechanic is extremely skilfull, he promised to try to print in 3d printer my broken seat components in order to salvage repair my driver seat,
i bet LS500H have better seat massage compred to the older ls 4th gen, and seat it have 28 way adjustment older ls have way less seat adjustment....


I never owned German car in my entire life, here the problem with them in BG and in Europe is , insurance cost arm and leg, they are stolen a lot, because cars can be easily sold either for parts or whole, also servicing is very expensive. My village mechanic service lexus in the street, without any special equipment he is real professional.
I bet he can do same with LS.
if i bring him audi or bmw or mercedess he wont be able to do anything.
Also diagnostic for GERMAN brands cost fortune, and for Lexus he already have tech stream but he dont know how to use it..... so we are advancing fast... in the near future he can became lexus special, since he will learn a lot from my car...
Do i need to change springs as well ? Or they are not important?
I am not sure if shocks needs adaptation or some software adjustment , since i dont know anything about adaptive dampers and he as well..
i will Gladly buy Acura, but they are expensive priced on the same prices as Lexus LS.
unless car is from the junk yard. with salvage title.

 

If your mechanic is so skillful, then you should be asking him all these questions and ignore his advice, instead of every member here that's tried to help you with legitimate advice.

 

He is currently on vacation in the sea,
1st of all and secondly, he doesnt have any experience in any lexus or adaptive shocks,
i ordered rear shocks as well, do shocks need any adaptation or special install ,or they are like normal shocks ? No adaptation from tech streem needed? My mechanic doesnt care about me or my safety... on his personal cars he never change anything even tyres...
too busy with customers...

 

So your bank will give you a loan for a 2018 Lexus LS? Which cost more than most houses in BG. Unless you decide to buy another rust bucket that has been sitting in the junk yard.

With that kind of money, I’m surprised you even need a loan for your GS. Should be pocket change.

 

how many of his thread in the first page. lol

 

New thread every day.

 

Thats not True, let me give you some numbers
In bg where i live 1 flat cost around 150-200.000usd, new building, Used Lexus ls , in europe currently cost around 50-60k$. way less than 1 house, if i import from usa Ls price will be same or cheaperi can get car with Vandalism or some small issues from Usa at decent price but i need to either get rid of my current one in order to get bigget loan. Not sure what my luck from usa will be in the action houses.
about my Gs, car was bought from around 25-30k$ but i invested a lot of money inside already so i am approching rapidly price of LS...
