r/lexuslc500

Hello everyone, currently looking for a LC500 and I found this one on Carmax.

Only issue is that it looks like it has a carbon fiber spoiler and I prefer the look without it.

I heard that the factory spoiler is bolted on so removing it will leave holes in the trunk.

I attached the Monroney label as well and it isn't listed so that makes me think its a third party spoiler. Was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable would be able to tell from the pics.

Thanks.

I have a desirable spec 2018 LC500 near me fully loaded with the caramel interior. The cars about 65k before taxes but I’m trying to negotiate down. Any thoughts on what a good deal would be considered in this case?

I’m hoping to get for 60k before taxes but not sure if that’s unreasonable or overpaying given the “minor damage” on carfax.

Thoughts?

Hi I found a dealer near me who has an incoming 2026 LC500 convertible. It's Infrared with black soft top. I have never seen this color combination in person (and I prefer the white one). Does anyone know how it looks like and is the LC500 convertible soft top reliable?

I was trying to help a friend find an LC and noticed of the ones I've been seeing listed as "in build" there's a lot of USB + white/blue interior + blue top, everyone of the dealerships I've talked to about it has claimed was "sent to them for being the best at -insert sale thing here-". Which I also found 2-5 of months ago when I was trying to buy my LC.

Found another one a few minutes ago and am curious if anyone else has noticed it. It seems weird that they're are so many of them that don't seem like they were peoples personal Bespoke builds but just maybe an over-supply of what was left in the factory?

I’m looking to buy a used 2018 LC500 and am set on getting either silver (atomic or platinum not sure), or infrared exterior color, however I’m torn on what interior color. I really like the way the saddle tan interior looks, however they seem to be the ones that wear out/get dirty the most mainly the steering wheel.

Im starting to consider black or the red interior because the black steering wheel looks to hold up better but would like to hear from anyone who was in this situation before and either chose saddle or went with other colors.

I just replaced the 27k mile OG run-flats on my 2018 coupe with four new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S A/S tires yesterday. Before I left the Discount Tire parking lot I could feel the difference. Drove about 120 miles on the highway today and boy, howdy are these an improvement. WAY less road noise, FAR better ride, still grippy AF.

Per advice on this sub, I bought a Toyota jack, puncture plug kit and high-capacity inflator for the inevitable flat tire. Backing that up I have a couple of different flat-bed towing packages for up to 150 miles.

Late to the game (about a year) and I’ve been searching nationwide for the past 3 months. First time posting & asking. A 2024 Bespoke build LC500 Coupe at $119k with 9,800 miles, one owner & clean Carfax a Good, Bad or Fair deal? Need to know ASAP from an IS500 owner. Thx!

I scheduled a 6 mo oil change with my independent shop that only works on Japenese cars (35 yrs in business). I had only puit 1,200 miles since the last oil change by the dealer, $160. I was trying to guess what this shop was going to charge. As it turned out, 0. The owner said the oil looked new and no reason to change. He suggested waiting 6 mos. What do you think the dealer would have done?
