Lexus LS 4th Gen

The fourth-generation Lexus LS (XF40) debuted for the 2007 model year, setting new standards for luxury and technology. It introduced the world's first 8-speed automatic transmission paired with a new 4.6L V8 engine. Available in standard and long-wheelbase (LS 460 L) forms, and as a sophisticated all-wheel-drive hybrid (LS 600h L), the XF40 was packed with innovations like an advanced pre-collision system and self-parking capabilities.

While not a traditional sports car, the LS 460 is highly regarded for its exceptional build quality, vault-like quietness, and legendary Toyota/Lexus reliability. Collectors and enthusiasts appreciate it as a high point in luxury engineering before designs became more polarizing. It offers a supremely comfortable ride and a robust powertrain that can easily surpass 200,000 miles with proper care, making it a smart purchase for a luxurious daily driver or long-distance cruiser.

The market for the 4th-gen LS is mature, with prices dictated almost entirely by mileage, condition, and service history. The average sale price sits around $16,000, representing a significant value compared to the car's original MSRP. Top prices are reserved for immaculate, low-mileage, later-year examples, especially the LS 600h L and the 2013+ F Sport models, while the low end of the market is populated by high-mileage cars needing significant reconditioning.

Prices for the 4th generation Lexus LS range from as little as $250 for parts cars to over $51,000 for pristine, low-mileage examples.
