Across the 6 below-market Lexus LS listings we track right now, the median asking price is $29,039 against a median market value of $32,119 — an average of 7.7% under. Typical mileage works out to about 10,500 miles a year, so a 2016 example carrying much more than 105,000 miles is above average for its age and should be priced accordingly.

These are dealer asking prices on cars already filtered to below-market listings, not sale prices, and they exclude tax, title and fees. Use them as a negotiating floor, not a valuation.

Known Lexus LS problems, by model year

2018, 2019 — Low-pressure fuel pump

Known issues to check on the Lexus LS

One widely reported problem pattern applies to this model year. That does not mean this car has the fault — many were fixed under warranty or recall — but it is what to check, and what to ask the seller for, before you buy.

Low-pressure fuel pumpWorth checking
A very large recall covers a Denso low-pressure fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine while driving.
What to check: Run the VIN through the manufacturer's recall lookup and confirm the fuel pump recall has been completed. It is a free fix, but it has to have been done.

Patterns are drawn from NHTSA recalls and complaints, manufacturer service bulletins and consistent owner reporting. Always confirm open recalls against the VIN and get an independent pre-purchase inspection.
