Guys

I am probably going to get an LC in about a year from now after
I sell my SC to get one.

Question ,

Looks like the 18’s and 19’s are coming down
and you can probably get a nice one for 65-70K with low
miles.

Do you see the LC dropping to the 60K range
for a low mileage one for the performance pkg
in the foreseeable future?

The LC is awesome but it looks like the used market
is now seeing some at 65-70K

 

my lease is up the end of may 2021. look for the blue one with low milage in NORCAL

 

I notice the slightly used LC all Donot have the
performance pkg. For sure , I think I want the PP

wonder if all the 18 and 19 up for sale lately are mostly
lease returns and hence will not have the performance
pkg.

what do you guys think ?

 

Here in South Florida, the '18 price is all over the place. Price range from $60k to $80k. All with reasonable mileage around 16k. However, they don't come with performance package. Don't see any '19 or '20 on the used market here yet.

 

Thanks guys

Any idea why all the USED LC has no performance pkg?
I don’t think i have seen one used with the PP?

is that option just not in demand?
carbon fiber roof and opened wing
sounds super cool to me !

 

The Performance Package (carbon roof, carbon door sills, active wing, VGRS, Alcantara headliner and seats) required the 21" wheels option, Torsen LSD, and Convenience Package, which came out to about $10,000 and was the most expensive option. The Sport Packages came in two flavors. With the glass roof, Alcantara seats and 20" wheels, it came out to $4000. With the carbon roof, Alcantara seats and 21" wheels, it was $7000.

Most of the cars I see have the Sport Package in some form. Dealerships weren't buying a ton of the Performance Package cars because it generally meant that with the other popular options (like Mark Lev and HUD) would put the car past the $100K mark, and thus making them harder to move off the lot.

When I was shopping for my LC, I knew I wanted the Performance package, HUD, Mark Lev, and All-Weather package, but because dealership photos aren't always that great, or even show these options clearly, I just plugged the VIN into Lexus' own vehicle specifications website to decipher what the car actually had:

FWIW, I paid $75K for my 2019 in April of this year with 3300 miles. It also came with tint and PPF (on the mirrors, door edges, hood, front bumper, and carbon door sills) which was also a nice bonus.

 

Personally I think the carbon roof ,21’ and the wing are a must
if you are going to drop 75-100K anyway on a car.

Then there is the color issue . Looks like the Silver
on the used market is actually quite rare

I do see many white, infrared available in the used market

 

Another thing to add is if you like the touring seats you can only get that with the 2019 Inspiration model. That model was the complete package for me. The touring seats are super comfy and you get the performance package too. The performance package usually comes with the alcantara sport seats. Easy way to tell performance package when looking at interior pictures is the spoiler button.

 

I went to the LC for cush and quiet. Vs harsh and loud, as I traded in my Vette. I don't think that many buy the car leaning too far towards performance.

 

In late April of 2020 I snagged a 2018 LC500 at a Jaguar dealership in Florida. It had 6,300 miles and was the Titanium Silver with red interior (the one I wanted!). It does have the performance package, Mark Levinson audio, color HUD, and I think every other option available. Neither myself nor the dealer knew at the time, but the previous owner had paid $2,700 for a full PPF front end from the doors forward. I found their sticker under the hood and called the custom shop in Virginia and they sent me the receipt which transfers the 10-year film warranty to me. Bonus! I consider myself extremely lucky.

I paid $72,500 and couldn't be happier with it. My wife doesn't share the same excitement - said it looked like my previous car (IS350 F-Sport) - NOT!

PS: If you have one of these, get the fuel pump recall taken care of. Mine stalled on me twice - once in traffic, so it's real. I had it done last week.
