My local dealer has a certified 2018 LC 500.

However, it's missing "Performance Package", how big of a deal is that? I worry this may affect the resale value.

 

you'd probably need to drive one with and without. i didn't though but knew i wanted the PP (now called dynamic handling package) for the vgrs, rear steer and cf roof.

all lc's are great though!

 

So much depends on condition, mileage & price. These three, I think, are much more important than the handling package.

 

It does have carbon roof from "Sports Package with Carbon Roof", but I hear the vgrs and rear steer is the different maker.

 

different things are important to different customers. i like handling more than acceleration, so the PP/DH was important to me and it makes me grin every time i take a corner. YMMV

 

I would not worry about the resale - LC’s hold value - We buy them to drive and enjoy - to heck with resale

 

I have the performance and touring package on a '18 and I just ordered a '24 without the dynamic handling package. I already disable the VGRS every time I drive as I don't like the computer interference on the limit. I prefer my driving experience to be analog and all the PP systems noticeably get in the way. The performance brake pads squeal like crazy when cold and aftermarket brake pads are better in any case.

I have a cf roof now and I'd much rather have a moonroof. I never use the HUD. The retractable spoiler imo doesn't do anything for me when I'm in the car and makes a noticeable thump when retracting.

Oh and the only reason I'm looking to jump from a '18 to a '24 is bc I want the ultrasonic blue paint not because I think it's better in any other regard.

Maybe the only thing I'll miss is the cf scuff plate that comes with the PP/DHP. Oh and I did order the LSD as a standalone option as I do think that's the only thing from the perf package that I would want and luckily they offer it by itself for a lot less. As in $9k less.

 

^^^^The CF Scuff Plates are a $600 option on lower model LCs:
