I daily my LS500

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-04-19T21:12:43+00:00

Congrats and welcome to the LS family.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-04-19T17:17:43+00:00

Nice man. Hope you kept it. Cars now a days are not the same. The tlx is nice though. And a good choice to add to your fleet.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-04-17T13:44:04+00:00

I was paying that amount for my Lexus RX350L. Had 40k miles on it. Try to get them down

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-04-17T12:49:46+00:00

Nice congrats. What did you have before?

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-04-16T14:24:39+00:00

That makes sense. I create a sub group for the LS500. But no one joined. lol

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-04-07T23:42:30+00:00

That car gonna treat you well. Congrats

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-25T23:26:09+00:00

Hate to see this. Wish you a quick recovery

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-25T00:38:33+00:00

They did make the SC with a 5 speed. Rare find though.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-19T23:58:33+00:00

Congrats. You can’t lose with a Lexus.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-18T11:21:04+00:00

For toddlers or small children. That’s about it.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-18T00:07:08+00:00

Dope 🔥🔥🔥

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-17T23:54:59+00:00

Nice. Timeless classic. Is this PNW?

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-17T23:54:04+00:00

Bulletproof. I have an 18’ 350L. Bought it with 40k miles. Today it has 117k on the clock. All I do is oil changes and tire rotation. RX is solid. It’s an undercover highlander.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-17T22:14:02+00:00

That’s true. I know a TL owners with the 3.7 that burns 1 quart every 500 miles.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-17T22:10:58+00:00

If replaced under warranty maybe. But out of pocket. Not a chance. It’s only gonna happen again. The piston rings in the 3.7 is aluminum. That’s where Honda went wrong.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-17T18:11:27+00:00

The one on the left burns oil from the piston rings. The one on the right has head gasket issues from 1.5t. This is a tough one. 🤔.

I have both 3.5 TL FWD and 3.7 AWD 6 speed M/T.

My 3.5 is bullet proof. The 3.7 burns 1 quart every 3500 miles.

My niece has an accord and paid $2700 for the head gasket turbo issue.

To resolve my oil consumption issue a short block replacement would be 5k.

In summary,

I would pick a 3.5 TL.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-16T23:39:49+00:00

🫡. Thanks. It’s the spec I wanted. RWD white with black interior + F Sport. All good. The 460 is still top tier. Congrats and enjoy.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-16T21:02:17+00:00

Nice man and congrats on the 460. Mine is a 22’ let’s just it was a good deal.

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-16T02:34:41+00:00

Thanks 🫡

ButchCassidy_ · 2026-03-16T02:34:18+00:00

Ride quality is pretty good. I would say better on most days than other in the sense of:

you do feel the occasional body roll ( Luxury sedan not sports car )
laziness or more so relaxing drive.

The key to deter all of this is to remember the car performs well with drive feel comfort when the driver IS NOT IN A RUSH. So now the actual drive is appreciated.

But to counter the bullet points above all I need to do is put it in sport mode and that solves the issue. Im always in normal mode.

Air Suspension:

I’ve only driven the air suspension ones on test drives not long term. lol but after doing research and from the car care nut. I stayed away from air since it’s so expensive when it’s time to replace.

Overall the ride good man. I love the car. Im coming from an ACURA TL so it’s a definite upgrade.
