Yes, the 2023 Lexus LS 500 F Sport is Nearly $88,000: Here's Why That's an Awesome Deal! 

In 1991 an LS 400 sticker price was $44,100 which today is nearly $100K. So yes..88K is probably not bad.

Priced cheaper than a similar Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar. But it is as good - and will outlive all those 4 moneypits.

This is a gorgeous machine in and out. Will outlast any other luxury sedan. Can't go wrong with it

Awesome underappreciated machine; and if you have one you will not see them all over the place like you do with S class and seven series. And unlike those, this one will be trouble free and last a very long time

For an even better deal pick up a 2-3 year old version of the LS (same body style as the new model)with under 30k miles for around $45-50. Saw several nice examples in my area in that price range.

45k is the difference between this and the S CLASS

Always like the subdued styling (inside and out) of Lexus sedans. One issue I have is from 25 feet away, is it an LS or an ES?

The original LS 400 and the Infiniti Q45 were baller vehicles. In the late 80s & early 90s, if you were a rapper, you had to have one of these cars or a Ac Legend coupe, preferably. Times changed as people's money got longer and the price of a S Class or 7 series pushed farther away from the LS. People wanted cars that others couldn't afford, and the LS was affordable on a good lease deal as customers left for Bentleys and RRs. The LS appeals to me still as a reliable family car with elegant style.

Awesome car!!! Best in class!

4:00 0-60 4.6 secs 6:00 One of the best all around rides 11:30 Infotainment; dash 16:30 Better than the axed GS

Great review of a great car! My only complaint is that they chose to NOT use the infamous 5.0L naturally aspirated V8, the same one used in the LC500. That could have made this the perfect ride.

Nice review, thanks for taking us along! I prefer smaller cars, but I like seeing it glide down the road.

I had a 91 LS ! loved that car ! It was so comfortable

I’d buy it it’s reliable and will long for a very long time

88K is a bargain for this class of luxury sedan!

For the price it’s a good deal

I have a 2001 and is the nicest car I own, I prefer it over newer vehicles.

Almost 90k is still a lot of $$ but its still far less than the big 3 (or 4 if you incl genesis); and peace of mind is priceless..

I’ll never forgive Lexus for not giving this the 5.0 NA V8 from the LC!! Or the iforce max power train found in some Toyotas.

I have the ls460 Fsport…great road car (I drive a lot …in sales)…love the new ones..but I’ll drive my V8 until it won’t go anymore. Same sentiments for the last generation. You get the appearance package, better brakes, tires, and option package. It’s the sporty upgrade to the lux-o-barge. I love it.

his reviews are the most honest and genuine. he's never lead me wrong in terms of a purchase.

Nathan never grow up! Don't listen to the old farts!

I really don't like what the Germans have done to their latest offerings in this class. I'd certainly look at this and the new G90. Both offer great quality, performance, reliability, and value.

Non-luxury brands have gotten so expensive these days that Lexus no longer feel expensive and a really good deal, especially the Lexus ES.

BEST LUXURY LIMOUSINE EVER 🤔👍🏻LEXUS THE PERFECTION

If you buy this used, it is a bargain. Won't break the bank like the Benz even if out of warranty , therefore priceless peace of mind. Super quality interior, extremely comfortable (this car floats on harsh pavement), but also surprisingly maneuverable in the twisties. I like the fact that you don't see many on the road. Go ahead, be mainstream., I'll be the exception 😉

I had a GS so I know this car is amazing.

The suspension does change it has adaptive dampers I know cus I own one 😊 that’s why those corners come better when you put it in spot plus

Was a passenger in the middle of the back seat a few times in an LS 500, and it was not a good experience. The driveline hump is huge and kills any foot room for the middle passenger. That low head room the Nathan mentioned in even worse in the middle position since it's elevated compared to the outboard positions. This is really a 4 seater. If looking to haul a 5th passenger, look elsewhere.

Getting rid of the V8 in 2018 was a deal breaker for me , so I ended up getting a 2016 instead , I'll take low miles on V8 over V6 with turbo .. but that's just me

These depreciate like crazy so I might scoop one in 4-5 years

Make my LS in Nori Green with a buckskin tan interior and I think I will drive it to my grave ☠️💀

I have a 2021 LS mica blue w/ white leather. The car is truly a SCRE AMING bargain. It looks and rides like a dream🏖️

Great job with this review of the LS! I have owned 3 versions of this car including their hybrid models and they are my favorite luxury cars. Having the solid reliability, quality and power but still comfortable are all wins for me.

The LS is not a sport sedan. It's never been a sport sedan and was never intended to be one. I don't know why it's trying to be one now. It's sad that it's not the elegant, dignified V8 luxo-barge that it was originally intended to be. Flagship luxury sedans have become really odd though. You've got the 7-series that looks like an army tank, the S-class whose interior looks like a tacky Vegas casino, and now this LS trying to be a sport sedan. Weird times we live in. The automotive symbols of affluence just seem so unclassed and undignified nowadays, which I find odd. Maybe it's a difference between new money versus old money.

You guys really know what a good car should feel, drive and sound....and look.... one of my favourite car channels on RU-vid...thanks ....

real buttons! why we love Lexus. aside from 10 other reasons

88k and bargain does not belong in the same headline, people have lost their freaking minds paying these prices, The car companies won’t be getting any on my money until prices and interest are more reasonable.

Excellent review! We boomers ❤it!

Very reasonable for what you get. Econobox Volvo 40 EV priced at 62k just for comparison.

Lexus cars always get better with age

Lovely car for that price

I would really like to see how the LS500 f sport and inspiration measure up against the LS 600H L executive package. From on ending era 2015 to the new one will say 2022-2023 modles. Still will take the LS 600HL over the new models.

That is a sweet car! In the UK the LS starts at £89,000! Seems like a good deal in the states!!

DONT GROW UP ! Have fun YOLO

Too bad it’s so slow compared to the competition

Would you rather get this or a used BMW M8 Grand Coupe for around the same price?? This is a nice car but I’d take the M8. It’s more updated and more power!

Far superior to ANY European brand... Also, you will happily still be driving it in 20 years with 250k miles on it!

Also Nathan they don’t pip the noise in through speakers there’s just a simple induction pipe at the firewall. 😊

If you don't care about the newest tech and plan on keeping the car this is the perfect alternative to the germans.

Lexus has announced a twin turbo V8 in the near future - Who knows, maybe it will end up in the LS as well?!

beautiful car

I hate run-flat tires...

The run flats are horrible. Switched mine out for normal Continental tires. Made a huge difference. So much better.

Agree, great value!

Today's cars are very much styled the same. Hard to tell one from the other. Kinda Boring looking. They perform nice, but again look boring, the same as most everyone else.

But can I plug in my iPod?

Will pick one up in 5 years or so when it’s significantly cheaper 😊

Ike your videos. Please show more of the car and less of yourself. Thanks. 🙏🙏

Love this car, but I'm unable to appreciate the tail lights. It reminds me too much of an Altima. The old tail lights were better looking imo.

That screen is hideous. It's a very obvious afterthought. It doesnt fit with the design at all.

Jeff looks really comfortable to me

Even the oilcheck stick is something physical and reliable!

$88,000 dollars is an awesome deal? 😂😂😂

The new twin turbo scoots pretty good, just can’t replace the harmonious melancholy of their V8

Nathan, you need to answer the question of why, after decades of owner loyalty, no one more loyal than a Lexus owner, then why oh why did that demographic run away? 2022 sales were no more than 280 units/mo in the US. I submit for your consideration "it's the ride." None of the reviewers address the difference between the previous LS generations vs. your 2018-2023? "It's the ride" that the target demographic is using for buy or no buy. The runflats are the reason that buyers have fled. I'm not talking about non-demographic-buyers...they wouldn't be buying anyway. "It's the ride."

Very few billionaires are tall, check it …. So it’s perfect

get rid of that techno music not an idiot millennial they buy mustangs

It may go into park automatically when you shut the car off.

Having the same engine like in 4runner is certainly better than having engine from rangerover😂

Lowest ranked car in its class. The only thing it has is reliability

you buy it if it that good! i love my BMW M5🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That sticker price is nothing realistically that’s a 100k car and you know what else’s that I can get from Lexus around that price point an LX, GX or Landcruiser… you have to be crazy to spend that much on just a car….especially from a boss move perspective.

I can’t believe it cost less than the Germans . Crazy

Next spring, all black LS 500 f sport

Doesn't get any better than this for the price!

امروزه قابل اعتماد بودن یک لاکچری محسوب میشه و نه فقط کیفیت قطعات یا چرم و چوب! لکسوس دمت گرم! ✌🏼👍🏼

It's crap at $88k. Genesis has several models $15k cheaper with better features. Jaguar F Pace is cheaper and nicer. My sister in law had a LS500 and it was at the dealer getting repairs several times a year.

Nathan, thanks for a great review! Have a ‘20 LS500 F-Sport rwd and love it! Beautiful evolution from my ‘08 LS460. Still assembled in the Tahara factory, these vehicles are solid, reliable, well thought-out, and fun to drive! They’re just so superior in every way!

I think I prefer the Lexus LS over the Toyota Camry I know the Lexus LS is competing against the Mercedes and BMWs but I think the Lexus LS is the nicer looking car then the Camry and it should be for $88,000

You got it backwards ,the tundra has a Lexus engine.

I'm considering the Kia K900 (hate the name) for it's overall amenities,design & bargain pricing @ 65k! Love the understated look, the refinement,& the interior design coming from a Korean brand competing with the big boys for less dough @ 20k!! This Lexus is nice by all means but that front grille (spindle design) just doesn't gel with the overall theme to me compared to the smaller F versions,the RCF or the IS F particularly. How does the Kia's overall quality & maintenance issues stack up,well hopefully there's a comparison test out there soon to review by these guys Roman or Nathan or both for that matter! BMW, Mercedes & Audi better not fall asleep at the wheel if they know what's good for them,by the way c'mon Cadillac your presence is definitely missing from the luxury automobile segment since discontinuing the CT6/XT6 especially the Blackwing version!

I'd rather get 540i instead. Same kind performance better fuel consumption. Better looking. Better price. So many better.

Seems Lexus took the LS down the same path Jaguar took the XJ. Looks nothing like a flagship luxury car from the outside. 😒

This car is now a big giant Meh, when they pulled the v8 in this car, shameful, considering the price point, at 88k, the customer should have a few options, just shameful

I drove mine today after 4 months in the garage. Washed and waxed it yesterday. What a beautiful day and a super clean luxury car out for a ride. What more could you want 🏖️

who the hell thinks spending 80k on a Hyundai makes any logic?

Liked the ‘20 and older headlights more, subtle z pattern that really beautifully blended w/ the sheet metal.

But it’s 30k more than its stablemate ES which itself is a good car and comfortable. So hard to justify this one even at its bargain price. That’s probably why in 9 months driving a lot on the interstates in Florida I’ve only seen one.

Nathan, you’re the TFL cheapskate. Big price alert 🚨

This is a RWD right???

At 88k. Move on

It's a gas guzzler and slower than all compition, still very nice but no. An e is it a bargain

The maintenance schedule is really close to a RX 350. The service cost is just a little more.

Sorry Nathan. The Genesis G90 and S-class are in a different league.

whats a baller ? are you cool?

Today, it’s irrelevant all the good comments / narrative to a huge audience when it comes to any vehicle with a 60k price tag and over. Let’s be realistic people.

Nope , , , For $80,000, you can buy a used LC500. Best care Lexus has made to date (with possible exception of LFA)

At that point get a m3
