Are bespoke orders selling at sticker now? Are they knocking anything off your sticker ?
I see a 25 bespoke model with 2000 miles selling 8 k over sticker. Does that seem right?

The GSM put one of these in 3 months ago for one of his buddies and Lexus has not approved yet....so he told me it might be a 6mo+ wait if they even build me a car.
No ADM for me,,If thats what it takes then I pass,,,,dealer tried it on my 24 $5K over,I ignored him for a few days and he"talked" the sales manager into it...yeah right.
I paid $7k over sticker for my 2025 Bespoke Coupe last month. It was a CPO car (so warranty till 2031) with 110 miles on it (!), and in very nearly exactly the spec that I would have ordered (USB, white/blue interior, carbon fiber roof, HUD, Levinson, 10 spoke wheels). So rather than join the 2026 Bespoke merry-go-round, I decided to just pay for it. There aren't that many used Bespokes out there, and dealers know when they have a desirable Bespoke spec, so that seems to be how it is -- I certainly didn't see any other Bespoke USB/white combos out there.
Regarding outstanding orders. If I were "waiting" on an order to be accepted right now, I would also be actively looking for an in-stock model to purchase. My info says that production ends in late 2026. There seems to be a rush to order cars, and I think some folks will be left without a car. The dealers will take advantage of this late flush of activity with ADM's on cars and crazy certified mark ups. I jumped the gun a bit and got a late 2024 to my exact spec which was a regular production base car in my specific color combo. That simple request took me 7 months and a phone call to an old friend in the company. My advice to anyone looked for a new LC is to not wait too long to grab a new car or a slightly used one in your exact spec. I don't see values getting stupid like Mark 4 Supras but I do see a period at the end of 2026 and for some time after that this car gets hyped and pretty hard to source.
Good luck to all who are trying to source their exact specs. I know how it feels.
Sometimes, several years ago during Christmas we went to Scottsdale for Holiday and it rained nearly the entire week in addition to being almost as cold as it was in Michigan. At least the accommodations were excellent (Phoenician at Camelback).
Super stoked for you man and I'm glad you secured a bespoke at your dealer of choice. I HATED dealing the folks in Miami, mainly bc my salesman barely spoke english making communication difficult. And their ADM bs of course but 5k ADM on one of the last bespoke coupes likely, and from a Miami dealer no less, was a small pill to swallow compared to the risk of not getting my October 2025 order accepted for build. My dealer has had convertibles get accepted every month since then, but not a single coupe.
At any rate I agree 100% USB 2.0 is an insanely beautiful color, almost a candied sapphire. One of the best "true blues" I've seen. Enjoy the anticipation until it arrives and HURRAY you likely arent dealing with the craptastic Jacksonville port either!!
Today's the 5th....the day that Lexus seems to notify dealers of Bespoke Acceptance....
GSM just called.
My build has been Accepted and is going to be built!!!!
I will have actual build/arrival dates once their system updates later today!!!
I am so excited!!!!!
Will be listing my pristine 2021 white/circuit red vert very soon now....16k miles.....never even been driven in the rain!
That is excellent news, congratulations , and in the best colour
A couple of weeks ago I made enquires over here which were taken to the top of TNZ about getting a "finale edition" or if not availible a new LC500 to replace my one ( its 1.5 years old ) for my 60th this year
No dice was the answer, no more LCs coming here
It got worse, apparently three potential buys are having their 10% deposit returned...IIRC I only paid a deposit once my order was accepted, I truly feel sorry for them, I would be gutted if it had happened to me
I feel vindicated for getting the one I have as an early 60th birthday present in 2024 because I knew it was possible that this could happen
