The LEXUS LS (2007-09) 460 4DR SALOON 4.6 V8 375 SE AUTO8 is a full-size luxury saloon at the top end of the UK market. It rivals the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8, with a comfort-focused character, smooth automatic gearbox and powerful V8 petrol engine. mycarcheck.com records 93 look-ups across 36 VINs, a modest sample. The checks show an average private-sale value of £6,700, average recorded mileage of 118,000 miles and annual use of 7,000 miles. Vehicles averaged almost four previous keepers, making a careful history and condition check worthwhile. Best suited to buyers seeking an executive car for business, family trips or long-distance travel, rather than an economical city runabout. Its calm cabin, generous equipment and effortless performance are key attractions. Fuel costs will be higher than in smaller saloons, but the LS offers a distinctive, refined alternative with the comfort expected of a flagship Lexus.
