Default Sport package has LSD?

I am looking at a used 18 LC 500. 1 owner. 41K miles. Asking $54k.


Black interior (really was hoping red), but exterior color I like.



Lexus Drivers website shows above, that means it has LSD correct?

Yes, Torsen LSD is part of the sports package.

Thank you kindly. I am tempted to pull the trigger on it. I love the outside color. Central CA owned.

For sure. Car is about 3 hours away. I love the exterior color.

Debating if I can live with the black interior.

yeah interior red + LSD is my ideal. I really dont want the greys/blacks outside. This was Autumn Shimer which is a very nice exterior color. Thus was debating if I should compromise

The Torsen was not part of the Sport Package until MY2020.

This is from the MY2018 Brochure:

^^^^Don't know. It could have the option Only way to know is to ask the dealer to pull up the Monroney.

Since the car has Sports Package only - confirmed by Lexus, now I am thinking (per your broschure) it does not have LSD

That is a bummer.

Assuming they pulled their vehicle and options from the original window sticker, I would call them ask if they have a copy of the original window sticker or can pull up the digital monroney. That will confirm it for you before you buy it!

OH I misunderstood - I thought that page you linked was the actual vehicle you were after. I'm not sure how us plebes can get access, I think typically that's a dealer thing.
