Brought home this for the weekend - Jesus Christ what a nice freakin' car. If I didn't have the sentimental attachment to go with the LS 460 (my wife's late grandfather's last car) and have it 100% sorted to perfection, I'd totally snap one of these up, possibly even this exact one, for a many-year daily.

I wonder what keeping this on the road long term vs the Lexus would cost?
N63v2s aren't too bad, no major problems in the long run.
LS460 AWDs with air ride however, have a bunch of problems.
-Control arms are many many monies
-Air shocks are dealer-only with no aftermarket support (Arnott does not make an air spring for the AWD application)
-Brake actuators are in the low thousands, and prone to failure
-Oil pan gaskets leak and labor time is 23 hours RWD (25 or 26h for AWD cars)
Like, the BMW would probably cost appreciably more to run, but this generation is also an entire decade (model year 2016 debut with major facelift in '20) ahead of the LS 460 that I have (model year 2007 debut, with major facelift in '13).
My general manager at CFC has an '08 750i (185k km) that's only year older, and the parts manager has a '13 750i xDrive (170k), so it'll be interesting to see long term ownership. Thus far, the '08 has cost about $3k a year in maintenance since he got it in 2020. On the flip side, he paid $4k for the car, whereas my LS was closer to $15k (120k ish when I got it, I believe).
