This big old Lexus unicorn has been on and off the net for a few days, and is a perfect example of what one of our readers called “driving rich” (please remind me who I stole this from?). For $19,998, or the price of a used Toyota, you can drive a sweet luxury car with very, very low miles – maybe 3,400 miles yearly. Seriously, a 12 year old Lexus with 40,000 miles? Air conditioned and heated seats, auto cruise control, rear view camera, heated steering wheel, and automated parking? Very nice.
And a 380hp 4.6l V-8 with an eight-speed automatic good for sub-6 second 0-60. Car and Driver reviewed the 2007 LS 460 (the first year of this fourth generation – no real reviews in 2008 worth reading) here and noted it was still a bargain over equivalent German sedans, but at a $70,000 sales price wasn’t the steal it was when introduced in 1989. Thinking at $19,998 this single owner, accident free California car just might be a steal. CarMax has many Lexus LS 460’s with over 100,000 miles for not much less. Wouldn’t even spring for MaxCare. This car is too reliable and low mileage to break much. Find it here in Sacramento.
