Default My New LC

I just traded in my C8 Corvette for 2026 LC500 Bespoke. LC is refined and so much nicer.

Congrats!! Performance wise it won't line up your c8 but the experience is so much more than that, you'll certainly appreciate it! Welcome!

@skpark70
In the overall scheme of things you’ve made an excellent decision and I don’t believe there will be any regrets at all. Congratulations on your beautiful LC 500.

Did you order this? Or was it already in stock?

Actually, I ordered/requested the Inspiration Series a few months back, and I got a call from the dealer that a buyer backed out of this Bespoke model, and I took it.

Beautiful car. I almost ordered a new Z06 but stayed with my original plan of buying an LC500 coupe last spring. So glad I got the LC over the Vette. I will addd a nice low mile Z06 once the depreciated hits them significantly because they built a zillion of them. Enjoy your LC!!!!!!

If they back out of the bespoke dont they lose their deposit? thats quite a loss.

Some dealers do refundable/no obligation deposit.
This could be the customer who does 10 different of these deposits so that they have better chance of getting one leaving then dealers with their unwanted custom build.
Fortunately, the LC500 is limited production that dealer usually can sell them.

Yeah, no dealer is gonna struggle to sell an LC theres limited options on color combos even on a bespoke. Hardest one to sell MIGHT be the white interior bc most folks dont wanna try to keep it clean (white carpet on floors?? Cmon Lexus!). But even those dont sit long if at all. Maybe when Toyota reveals the new flagship next month people might slow down on the LC but I doubt it.

Theres a reason you cant get much if anything off of MSRP.

Agreed. I have seen this color up close on a LC 500. Cloudburst gray is regal sophisticated.

I did the same thing. Had my C8 for a few years then traded it for a LC500. Although I do miss my C8 there is no comparison. Absolutely love my LC.

Hi and congratulations!
Did it require much time to adjust to the different feel and driving characteristics between the two cars?
