I would love to see a LC500 in the wild.

Thanks

I am in the dumfries area Va.

 

Thanks for the response. I am hoping to find one local. I have an interest in buying one but need verification of ingress/egress as well garage clearances. Closest one to me is at a dealer is Alexandria and I will do most anything to avoid driving in northern VA/DC.

I have back issues and the car is not hard to get in and out of. A bit easier than my later model corvettes. It doesn't have auto exit seats, but I program door setting #3 to move the seat all the way back. The steering wheel does have auto exit.

The mirrors tilt in if you use the fob to lock the doors.

 

Thanks hoonose,

My wife just has hip replacement and I have moderate back issues and I also have tight clearances in my garage does not allow for fully opening the door. I am coming from a Porsche 911 with the lowest factory setting (SPASM). We found that we were using the 911 less and less. Hence my concerns. Also considering the RCF.

It will be hard if you can't open the door enough. Let me know your maximum width, and I'll go measure mine with partially open doors and let you know what I find.

 

They are pretty self-explanatory.

Thanks for checking.

My door typically opens to about 36", although it can open farther. That is plenty of width for me to get in. The door sill is about 17" and seat about 22". I have the seat raised about as far as it will go to reduce the drop down getting into the car. It works for me as I'm only 5'7".

 

hahaha, I said the pics were self-explanatory....that I am a dummassss. I had the rule backward. The actual opening is 32"

thanks for checking.

I'm near Charlottesville, but been rather ill so haven't been using the car much The last time I was at Lexus of Richmond, they had an LC 500 on the lot. If you can get there, give them a call to see if they have one now.

Lexus of Richmond does not have one, unfortunately. Closest is Alexandria.

thanks

Don't have an LC but you will see my GS F around in Richmond. I think I have only seen one LC in the 5 months I have been here -- great looking cars. I love my GS F but you cannot beat the looks of the LC both inside and out.

 

Thanks for reaching out hillsnow. I went to NVA this weekend to see/drive a LC500. I liked everything about the LC except that the seat bolsters were too intrusive and the cockpit seemed cramped to me. The seats made it a no go for me. I am now zeroing in on a RCF which fits me better.

If you can’t find an RCF, what about an M4? Plenty of those out in the used market. The seats are pretty comfortable.
