New owner. Took over a bespoke order when someone backed out last week. Delivery next month. 2026 nori green convertible with tan top/saddle interior. Very excited about it. I genuinely think nori green is the most exceptional color in these.
I have followed this car since day one of the concept and been fortunate to have two. I’m even more fortunate being a Lexus partner and being involved with the LC in various ways. Fortunate again to help lead ClubLeuxs as one is the new Admins/Community Leaders with bitkahuna
The black is my current 21 LC 500 IS
The white was my previous 19 LC 500 Touring.
I’ve driven them here and overseas. Tracked stock and modified. Taken multiple road trips my longest from Atlanta to Watkins Glen. So much to share on this special car.

Welcome,
I am fairly new here, May '25, so forgive when I ask about our Community Leaders such as yourself. And bitkahuna?
Thank you.

You have substantial experience with the LC 500. Have you driven one with the dynamic handling package? If so how different are its driving characteristics (Rear wheel steering and VGR) from the non DHP car? is it worth the premium up charge in your opinion?
Here is our first LC500, a 2026 Inspiration Convertible. Back in September 2025, my wife and I ordered a bespoke build LC500 convertible with nori green exterior and tan interior and top, as our once in a lifetime "dream car" purchase. The order was actually our second choice behind the final year LC500 Inspiration, but the dealer we ordered from said their only allocated Inspirations were already spoken for. Fast forward to February 2026, the spoken for Inspiration had sold, and we were still waiting for our bespoke order. I was a little nervous since the end of LC500 production in August was fast approaching. In mid-February our dealer calls to tell me another 2026 Inspiration Convertible, a special order for a Lexus corporate employee who changed their mind, just became available and was on the lot. So I dropped everything, rushed over, and was lucky to buy Inspiration #76.
Here are a few pics after getting our LC500 back from PPF and ceramic coating. Happy to be a new owner and member.
Have been around the block more than once or over 100 different vehicles probably on my last three or four right now. I’ll agree a new car is great and exciting but in the scheme of things it’s only new for a very short time and old for a very long time. I appreciate the longevity versus the newness of it.
Signed a purchase order for a 2018 Inspiration Series in Structural Blue. Purchased sight unseen and hopefully it will be in my garage in 1-2 weeks. 43k miles an in very good condition. Looking forward to it. Long time sports car enthusiast and have owned many different "toys". Will be interesting to see how this compares.
Just joined the club as I now have my LC500 in addition to the ES350 that was my introduction to Lexus. It's a 2021 convertible, with the caramel interior and black exterior.
Nice work ESLC. Meredith! Drive em in good health!! Pretty they are.
Because the LC is close to the end, so we hear. We have been kicking around our thoughts and pricing on the LC forum on whether there increasing and or by how much. It's none of my business but, if u care to share the prices on these used baby's, that would give us all an idea on what's happening.in each of our markets.
Otherwise No worries, Njoy! Be well.

I'm very partial to any other 2018 model.... 😋
