Default LC500 Inventory Dwindling?

Seems like LC500 inventory is dwindling quickly. Interested in buying a new coupe in blue with the white interior, or red, or green with the caramel. Think I might be too late…

Oh C’mon.
There’s 36 new LC listed in Autotrader with 5 being USB. Have you tried contacting any of them?
Theres almost 200 new/used listed with 15 being Blue.
LC inventory has never been that high to begin with.

The new LC's are dwindling with specific options.

Huh? There are 4 new blue coupes and all but one is already sold. I think it’s fair to wonder if there will be another shipment of LCs.

I only see 4 as well in USB that are new and only 1 of them has the white interior that you are looking for. You might want to jump on that if you want it so bad.

That blue w white one is sold if it is in Houston.

Any NEW 2026s out there are LIKELY pre sold or have big ADMs. Ive called on at leastt 20 of them personally over last couple months and only found 1 unsold without a huge ADM (still a 5k ADM on it tho). I elected to buy that one.

There is 1 blue on white CPO one someplace IIRC that was avail a week or 2 ago. Not sure now.

Supply IS dwindling. Especially if not pre-sold.

Nick, maybe you can help the OP out since you found so many new coupes that meet his criteria. He's looked online and so did I. We both only found 1 on Autotrader that's blue with a white interior and that one has been sold. Another poster just said the same thing and he's called 20 dealerships. What are we all doing wrong when searching on autotrader?

OP did not say he only wants Blue and bespoke white/blue interior. He said OR red OR green with caramel. Red and caramel is one of the most abundant LC500.
If you really want a specific color combo, bespoke is the only way. Like I said, the LC inventory was never great. And the USB with white/blue interior was always a custom bespoke order or an order that was abandoned.
That said, if you want a bespoke, I’m afraid that window has pretty much closed.
good luck.

Its all good we are all just trying to help. That said I've called on blue, black, and grey coupes and all were pre-sold. Even non bespoke ones.

We are at the point now where it will be hard to get a 2026 Coupe without paying a big ADM unless someone gets very lucky, or Lexus surprises us by opening the bespoke order coupe back up on their website and surprises the world with a 2027 10th anniversary edition sendoff (aint gonna happen lol).

White might be the easiest one to get, but my local dealer just sold a white LC for 20k over sticker. Red & green I doubt will be easy simply because they are less common than white/black/grey. Red is on par with blue from my experience searching. Green seems the rarest at least in my armchair autotrader auto tempest searches going back to Dec 2024.

Westside had a nori/toasted that was pre-sold when I called (out of curiousity when investigating a CPO they had). Maybe buyer backed out. OP should call & see I'm done calling dealers. My car will either show up in Miami or it wont but I'm kinda over it at this point. Getting a 2026 LC and not paying a ridiculous ADM seems like a wild goose chase. I THEORETICALLY have a deal made but that car has been at the port for 7 weeks. Wanting blue on black didnt help.

How about certified preowned. Sometimes, the certified preowned are a better deal than a new one.
JM Lexus has this ‘24 USB with Caramel and the best(IMO) option wheels.

I mean, c’mon. Look at those wheels on the USB.
comes with tinted windows.

Carmel interior is nausea inducing. Almost bought a CPO this week blue/black coupe but decided I will roll the dice and hold out on the 2026 in Miami. Breaking in a virgin LC myself is an intangible I desire. Sorry to derail.

“Carmel interior is nausea inducing”

Opinions and preferences surely differ amongst buyers. Some will find the Toasted Caramel gorgeous and fret that the black interior is boring and too monochromatic. I actually think either works well with the USB exterior. I do like the multi spoke wheels.

Thanks for the help everyone. Did call Westside about the Nori LC but it’s sold. Will try to go certified pre-owned route over the next few months.
