Looking to buy an LC 500

There isn't much on the market available here in the UK so was wondering if the listing I have shared seems like a good deal

A Summary on the LC 500s Life

With the end of production for the LC500 happening this month I've spent the past few weeks trying to find as much info on LC 500 models as I could to compile in one place instead of it being scattered everywhere. Unfortunately Toyota hasn't, seemingly, been fully transparent on sales, options picked, color break downs for how many of each are made, etc. so unless that changes I wont have that information. Hopefully after the end of production we get real overall numbers for everything for other people like myself who enjoy information overloads.

LC 500 Production numbers (not exact unless Toyota finally releases full sales numbers at the end of production):

  • North America: 16,564 (as of July 2026 sale numbers) (248 being Hybrids 2018-2025)
  • Euros/China: 1,850
  • Japan: 3,000-4,000 (one source claims 10,704 have been sold In Japan as of 2025 but all other sources seem to put the number in the three or four thousand range)
  • Australia: 498 (29 being Hybrid as of 2020)
  • UAE: 70 (as of 2024)

Around 23,000 Total.

LC 500 North America Model break down:

  • 2017-2020: 6,222 coupes
  • 2021-2025: 1,085 coupes, 7,595 convertibles

Exterior Colors:

Interior Colors:

  • Black Leather
  • Black Leather + Alcantara
  • Toasted Caramel Leather
  • Toasted Caramel Leather + Alcantara
  • Rioja Red Leather
  • Rioja Red Leather + Alcantara
  • Deep Blue (2024 Inspiration Only)
  • White, Blue, and Orange (2018 Inspiration Only)
  • Brown/Black Semi-Aniline Leather (2020 Inspiration only)
  • White & Blue (2021 Inspiration Only)
  • White & Blue (Slightly different from the 2021 Inspiration Only)
  • Manhattan Henge
  • Black, Yellow, And White (2019 Inspiration Only)
  • White and Black (2026 Inspiration Coupe Only)
  • White and Brown (2026 Inspiration Convertible Only)
  • Black and Saddle Tan (2021 Inspiration Coupe Only)

Random other things:

  • Convertibles weren't sold until 2021 but were sold 7:1 to coupes in years since.
  • The LC 500 Hybrid was sold from 2018-2025 with a total of only 248 sold in North America.
  • The 2026 Inspiration Convertible (Wind color) having so many built in its exact spec means, by the numbers, it maybe one of the more common colors of convertibles over all years of production (when compared to any of the many colors that were limited year numbers since the convertibles launch).
  • Canards, for some reason, they added them onto the inspiration series LC500s only for the 2024 model, and the 2026 models
  • Seemingly the cheapest LC500 sold from a dealer to its first owner was for ~$76k (it was a 2019 dealer demo).
  • The highest price a LC500 has been sold for was 2021 VIN #001 Structural Blue that went for $2,000,000 at a charity auction.

Please feel free to add any other fun info you may have, or corrects to the info I've gathered! I'll try to update this if we do ever get that end of production break down, and for any corrections if I've messed anything else up.

LC steering wheel wear

I'm looking at this LC. 2020 with 34K miles. The steering wheel has crazy wear on this esp for mileage. Are LC steering wheels prone to wear?

LC 500 Farewell

LC 500 has been removed from the Lexus USA website, marking the end of an era for Lexus and its naturally aspirated V8.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this community and even more grateful that I was able to pick up a 2026 model this past June.

It’s a truly special car. One that delivers a visceral driving experience, effortless character, and the kind of emotional connection behind the wheel that is becoming increasingly rare.

More than just a grand tourer, the LC 500 represents an era of Lexus that won’t be forgotten.

Farewell, LC 500. An icon.

*post your LC photos, would love to see everyone’s*

100k miles on my 2018 LC 500: restore it or move on?

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I’m curious: how many miles are currently on your LC 500?

Mine just crossed 100,000 miles after nearly eight years of ownership (Bought it new in 2018). I’ve driven it coast to coast, used it as my daily, and let that V8 sing every chance I’ve had. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this car, but I’m now wondering whether to keep investing in it or move on.

A few things are starting to show their age:

  • The driver-side door handle is a little squeaky, although it still works.
  • There’s an unresolved pulsing/vibration issue that I suspect may be a wheel bearing.
  • The suspension feels looser and less planted than it used to, so I’d likely refresh or upgrade it.
  • The gear changes aren’t as crisp as they once were, which may call for transmission service.

I’m debating whether to put up to $30,000 into maintenance, repairs, and upgrades, then revisit the question at 200,000 miles. The alternative would be to sell it while it may still be worth somewhere around $30,000 to $50,000 and put another $50,000 to $60,000 toward a newer LC or something different.

I have a connection with this car that I haven’t had with anything else, which makes the decision difficult.

For those with higher-mileage LCs: how has yours held up, and what major repairs have you encountered? If you were in my position, would you restore it and keep driving, or move on to a newer one?

Thank you in advance!

LC F

This 2021 LC 500 is for sale at an auto consignment at our local junior college which is held every weekend. It has badging for an LC F both on the side and the rear. I have an infrared LC 500 so it immediately caught my eye. I'm guessing this is a badge the owner put on it, but can't really imagine why they would do that for this car. Anyone heard of Lexus putting something out like this?

Farewell V8

Today we test drove over 10 different cars in Monterey Car Week including M5, M3, AMG GT 63, S 63 AMG, E 53 AMG, Aston Martin Vantage, Etc. and hands down LC 500 was everyone’s favorite car. In my opinion what makes LC so special is truly the NA V8. It’s always lovely, loud and feels super mechanical unlike everything else which focuses on soulless hybrid / turbo to maximize speed and efficiency. On top of that quality of fit and finish in this car is insane especially for the price tag. I test drove AMG S63 just before LC and even though it only had 180 miles on the odometer driver side door panel was already squeaking which was super embarrassing for a 210K $ ultra luxury vehicle.

Such a shame LC is getting discontinued later this month!

I went from being disappointed to loving the Mark Levinson in my 2026 LC 500 convertible

I received my cloudburst gray vert in the middle of June and was initially disappointed with the ML audio. I have a 2020 GX460 with the ML sounds great. I assumed it would be the same in the LC but I was very wrong. I tried the AmazonMusic app (one month trial), and wired and Bluetooth CarPlay connections but nothing sounded good. I didn't know what to think and chalked it up to the cabin being so much smaller than the GX. I turned on the auto sound leveler (noticed a big positive difference), ticked up the treble and base a little, and moved back the balance two ticks to the rear. I ended up connecting to CarPlay via Bluetooth due to the hassle of of a wired connection and was resigned to it not sounding great either way. Last week I noticed it was sounding much better. Then this morning I went on a drive on a beautiful Saturday morning and the sound was almost as good as in the GX. I am wondering if the speakers need a break-in period or maybe my ears are used to the sound now. Either way I am very happy with the sound. Anyone else experience this?

Value?

Probably not selling, but can’t hurt to get an idea of what this is potentially worth given the current market on these. 2024 bespoke, white and blue interior. Fully ppf’d and ceramic coated on top. Nicely done mods include tinted windows, carbon fiber spoiler, carbon fiber diffuser and exhaust tips. In pretty much like new condition, about 6700 miles on it. After market gun metal 21 inch rims on it but have the original wheels (10 spoke ) gunmetal ones as well(powder coated black).

Lexus LC500 owners

Why are Lexus lc500 owners always 65 and older? I’ve never seen someone younger than 65 driving one. They seem to be the rich man’s corvette .

Contemplating Sale

Would there be any interest in a Chicagoland sale of a 2021 LC Convertible. Like new, 29,000 miles. Caviar, black top, caramel interior. Was thinking $95K. On the fence, but wondering if that's a fair price today. Balance of loan at Chase. Would prefer buyer to meet me at Chase for transaction.
