The Lexus LS 500 is Lexus’s flagship luxury sedan, and the LS 500 F Sport was its sportier version, with sharper styling, sport seats and chassis upgrades around the LS’s 416-horsepower twin-turbo V6. The LS is ending: for 2026, the only US version is the LS 500 AWD Heritage Edition, limited to 250 cars at $99,280 including destination, and Lexus will not sell the LS nameplate in the US after this year. That makes final-generation LS 500s, including F Sports, the last of the line. Borro lends against luxury cars worth $50,000 or more, so owners can raise capital without selling.

Is the Lexus LS Being Discontinued?
Yes. After the 2026 model year, Lexus will no longer sell the LS in the US. Sales had fallen sharply: Lexus sold 2,163 LS sedans in the US in 2024 and only 691 in the first half of 2025, and sales dropped more than 40% in 2025. Lexus called the 2026 Heritage Edition “the final offering for the current generation LS,” leaving its flagship role to SUVs and electrified models.
The 2026 LS 500 Heritage Edition
The final US LS is the LS 500 AWD Heritage Edition, limited to 250 cars at $99,280 including a $1,450 destination charge. It wears Ninety Noir paint, dark exterior trim and exclusive 20-inch split-spoke wheels in Dark Gray Metallic, with Rioja Red leather inside, a first for the LS.
What Is the Lexus LS 500 F Sport?
The F Sport was the sporting version of the LS 500 in earlier model years, combining the LS’s 416 hp twin-turbo V6 with F Sport styling, sport seats and handling-focused upgrades. It is not offered for 2026 in the US, where the Heritage Edition is the only trim, so F Sports are now found on the used market.
Can You Get a Loan Against a Lexus LS 500?
It depends on the car’s value. Borro’s car loans are for vehicles worth $50,000 or more, at up to 50% of the appraised value, with a minimum loan of $25,000. A recent LS 500 or a 2026 Heritage Edition is the most likely to qualify; an LS appraised at $70,000 could support a loan of up to about $35,000. Older cars may fall below the minimum, but Borro can also lend against watches, jewelry and other assets.
- No credit check and no personal guarantee. The asset secures the loan, and Borro does not ask for personal or business financial statements.
- Fast funding. Once your loan is approved, funds can arrive in as little as one business day.
- You keep ownership. Your car is held in fully insured, secure safekeeping for the loan term and returned when you repay.
- Private and discreet. Borro has lent more than $1 billion to clients across the country and holds an A+ BBB rating.

The Last Great Sedan Deserves a Proper Goodbye
Some farewells make an object more precious. Lexus has said the LS will leave the American market, and with that announcement a very particular kind of calm becomes finite. The velvet quiet of the cabin, the deep Rioja Red leather, the way the door shuts with a soft, reassuring thud, all of it now belongs to a closing chapter.
Owners understand this at once. A flagship sedan is not about spectacle. It is about arriving unruffled, about the small, unhurried luxuries that make a day feel longer and kinder. The F Sport adds a sharper edge, but the soul of the car remains that same sense of absolute composure.
When a line ends, the cars that carried it become the keepers of something. You do not rush to hand them over, and you do not need to.
If you ever need capital in the meantime, Borro lends against luxury cars of the right value, holding the car in secure, insured safekeeping and leaving ownership with you. Eligibility is confirmed on appraisal. When you repay, the car returns to you, as quiet and composed as the day it left. It is a gentle way to stay liquid while a last great sedan stays yours.
