Where have all the GS460's gone?

Not one for sale on AT. Must be that good everyone is keeping hold of them. A rare beast indeed

[Chris111]

There was one for sale on Autotrader about two months ago. The advert said it was one of only 16 in the UK so, if that's true, it explains the rarity.

17 were registered in the UK, 2 are currently SORN. For comparison, 54 GSF's have been registered, there are 34 registered La Ferraris and 18 registered Aston Martin Lagondas, so  a very rare beast indeed. Aston martin DB5 is positively common in comparison with over 200 registered!

I have seen one in the Flesh driving round my home town of Shrewsbury so they do exist. My wife didn't know why I was so exited, I'm very sad at times!!!

That answers why none around then. And I thought my ISF was rare!

[Jamesf1]

ISF 214 registered, 5 SORN.

If you want a truly rare Lexus you have to own an LFA (3 registered) or RX 200T s (2 registered)

The reason the sales didn't go so well for GS460 is obvious- 450h was available. It was cheaper, packed with exciting new technology way ahead of it's time, significantly better mpg etc..

Personally i don't see a problem, plenty of LS460 available with same engine :p

Hi Mel. The GS460 and the LS460 share the same 1UR engine but I was interested to learn they aren't quite the same.

A V8 GS with 375 bhp would have been very nice and lighter than the LS but the GS had a little less power at 342 bhp. I bet it still gets to 60 in around 5 seconds.

There was a black one for sale by Boss motor company about 3 months ago for £12600 I think it was, with around 80,000 miles on it.
