Craig B, which paint protection film did you have your Porsche wrapped in?

 

 

 

I have both. They compliment each other well. The LC almost gets the same amount of attention as the Huracan.

You're on a Lexus Forum, you're a forum moderator and now you want to begin calling out LC's with your new beetle? Ha! Go easy mang.

 

I have no reason or time to come on a public forum and fabricate or exaggerate real life driving experiences especially, when many McLarens owners can corroborate how well the LC did in the pack. 17 people were on last Sunday's McLaren cruise. 6 McLaren owners, 1 720S of which was in front of me and 1 720S which was behind me that will disagree with your opinion here. I also had a very pessimistic passenger riding along with me during the cruise who witnessed the capabilities of the LC when pushed hard who is quite difficult to impress at all. He could not believe himself how the hell the LC was right there in the corners with these Macs. More importantly I have it all on video too from the windshield's interior mounted GoPro. Kind of hard to dispute with empirical evidence don't you think? I never claimed to have beat any of these cars in my post just so that is very clear. I simply stated that I was able to keep up quite well in the turns, and I did indeed.

 

Great feedback and I am of the same opinion as you on this. My LC goes on the dyno again today as I just had the new PPE headers and mid-pipe installed, and I also have the Tom's Titan exhaust as well as the Boost Logic intakes. I think the LC with 550-600 crank hp and 500 lb ft would be the sweet spot for the weight. I have owned Ferrari and Porsche and have owned cars with 600-1000hp and the LC is simply balanced in all categories and not just a one trick pony like so many of these FI cars these days. I think we are getting away from true driving experiences and are becoming more concerned about numbers. The LC is so refined and the quality of the craftsmanship is superior to even those exotics that are well over $400K tags.

 

You've owned Porsche vehicles and are calling them Bugs? Whatever, as long as you're having fun and enjoy your car, who cares...

 

If you want to know the depreciation on the LC500, just take a look at the RC F. I'm sure the LC500 will follow suit. I owe more on my RC F than it's worth right now. But I still ordered myself a new 2019 RC F. It should be here in 4 months. I want a new one regardless of the loss involved...

Rarity also doesn't affect value. I've seen even fewer RC F in the last 4 years than I've seen of the LC500 in 2018. So if rarity makes a car more valuable then the RC F should have less depreciation, correct? The reason for the depreciation is because they are hard to resell.

Cars are not an investment. You pay to ride. If you want an investment then buy real estate.

 

I concur... I have own a number coupes and they simply don't hold their value.
I test drove two 2018 LC500 on last week at Lexus of Annapolis. Both cars were in the 70's with less than 9k miles. Sorry to the guy that post earlier but it's no way in H your going to get 95k for your LC500 at the dealership no matter what package you have installed.
Next year your car is going to be worth 65k or less.

clublexus Moderator, really?

 

Really! The guy is just being honest. Despite the subpar numbers... I still think the LC500 is a beautiful car.....
