we are kind of same boat. ordered NX on January and this happened.

although, i read it somewhere that Toyota decide to keep the same price for cars that were ordered before April 2nd. not 100% sure on this.
it will definitely impact on MY2026 models.

either way good luck with purchase. LC is one of kind of car.

 

Anxious for you, my dude.....please let us know what your dealer is telling you about the just-announced tariffs....

 

I was informed this morning that NO tarriff will be applied to this car. Also told that the availability of port installed accessories is very limited. I was hoping for all weather floor mats and some other minor stuff. BUT, the new quandry was the announcement, that in April, 2026, the LC will be receiving an update, with new front end styling and a fixed rear wing. The Lexus code for the refresh model number is 633D. This announcement came from Kirk Krelfels on You Tube.

 

In this environment I would not hold off on a vehicle at a price you know you can get for one that is rumored and may cost anywhere from 10-25% more over a year from now. Makes me wonder if Lexus would consider temporarily halting production of the LC for the US market if sticker price nears $120k before options+tax. I can't see any buyers in the US for this car at that price point.

 

IIRC, didn’t @Badhobz post something 1-2 years ago about Canada’s new luxury tax or something that increased the price of the LCs to a very high price?

 

Get some weathertechs

 

I'm not sure if I agree with this. Looks like the whole foreign car market prices will increase.
If the goal of tariffs is to make people buy American cars, then why not just make better American cars. Increasing prices of foreign cars and making domestic cars cheaper/easier to get is not the solution. Let the people dictate what to buy in a free market rather than forcing people to buy via trade policies. I, for one, will continue to buy what I want that is a good product or keep what I have and not buy at all. Now, if they put a V8-TT on the LC....

 

Lexus parts dept. has all that stuff...some dealers offer discounts and free shipping.

 

Especially Bell Lexus.

 

+1 to this, these companies put a lot of work / planning into product hierarchy and pricing and the tariffs are going to disrupt that. For example, the Toyota RAV4 is assembled in Canada and Japan and is subject to the tariffs. The Toyota Highlander -- the more expensive, larger step up from the RAV4 -- is assembled in Indiana and not subject to the tariffs. Rather than apply the 25% cost increase only to the RAV4, Toyota will more likely increase the price of both platforms equally to maintain their pricing relative to each other.

Expect this to apply to the Lexus product line as well, both relative to other Lexus models and also relative to their Toyota counterparts.

I, for one, am very glad that I'm not in the market for a new car right now. The whole business is about to get stupid.

 

Won't the used car market be impacted as well?

 

the used car salespeople arent going to let an opportunity like this slip by.

 

Yea it will, my trade in should be worth more off-setting some of the tariffs.

 

Absolutely....it's 2021 all over again...

 

Every local LC that's been sitting weeks on the lots are gone, even the 126K convertible, in Seattle. The tariff fear is real.

This also includes the RCF's and IS500s.
