This 2018 Lexus LS 500 is finished in distinctive Autumn Shimmer and has 97,758 miles on the odometer.

WHY SHOPPERS BUY THIS MODEL The LS has spent decades serving as Lexus' ultimate expression of luxury. Rather than simply following the traditional European flagship formula, Lexus built its reputation around exceptional refinement, meticulous assembly, quietness, long-distance comfort, and a distinctly Japanese interpretation of premium craftsmanship. For 2018, the LS entered an entirely new generation with dramatically more expressive styling, a new platform, a twin-turbocharged V6, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a cabin designed to push Lexus considerably further into true flagship territory. The result is a luxury sedan with genuine presence and performance, yet one that retains the smooth, quiet, comfort-focused personality that made the LS name famous in the first place. AUTOMOTIVE PRESS AND INDUSTRY RECOGNITION The redesigned LS 500 attracted considerable attention for its dramatic departure from the conservative personality of earlier LS generations. Professional reviewers highlighted its exceptionally quiet cabin, distinctive interior craftsmanship, comfortable ride, powerful twin-turbocharged engine, and ambitious technology. Its interior received particular attention because Lexus took a noticeably different approach from its German competitors. Flowing trim, detailed upholstery, intricate door-panel design, available premium materials, and a strong emphasis on craftsmanship gave the LS a cabin with an identity of its own. WARRANTY At 97,758 miles and more than eight years from its original 2018 in-service period, the original Lexus factory warranty has expired. An extended service plan may be available for additional protection and long-term ownership confidence.
