I went to the dealer the other day. It’s finally in their queue. He said maybe another 3-4 Months before it’s complete. Better than the 6-9 month/ they said about a month ago. Deposit made on 1/5.

I ordered my LC in the third week of July 2021. It arrived at the dealership the third week of December 2021 as a 2022 model. Not an Inspiration model though, but hopefully still gives one an idea of the period of time a person may need to wait for an order to be processed, built and shipped.

no one is buying these all over the country and few have even bought more than one, and even fewer have recently bought or about to buy AND are on here, so i don't think anyone has any general info. and i don't know where you are so that doesn't help.

finally, every dealer is different. if you're flexible or willing to buy from a dealer not near you (i had mine shipped from 900mi. away), i've no doubt you can get MSRP or less.

Don't be a wise guy, bro!! West Central Florida is home to BeachLand. I don't see to many of my side of the bridge, but a trip to see the Buccaneers might yield a better chance of LC sightings!!

I'll buy from whomever / where ever does the best for me. I've tried to show dealership loyalty and have found they don't care one bit... which is unfortunate.

I wasted 3 days of my life getting the dealership info on my trade in, pictures, VIN, etc. The "upfront pricing" on Lexus Miami website for a fully loaded LC500 was $106,000+ and created my account. After they got done doing numbers on my trade in, they email me quote sheet with $20,000 in "market adjustment". So now their sale price is $126K. I told them to pound sand with this market adjustment BS. No thanks. Gonna buy a Lucid Air instead. No BS markups, add on, or market adjustment with them. Plus I get a $7500 tax credit back.

Only problem is you'll probably wait another year to get your lucid. Best of luck either way.

"Gonna buy a Lucid Air instead. No BS markups, add on, or market adjustment with them. Plus I get a $7500 tax credit back."

Though still reasonably
happy with my LC 'vert, I'm in a slowly deteriorating medical situation where getting in and out of the thing is nudging me to consider an alternative after only one year of ownership (and looking at the stratospheric used-car valuations). I'm also unhappy about the lack of surround-view cameras and the paucity of storage space.

Thus, I'm also deep into research on EVs, even to the extent of learning about home charging systems. Lucid is a top contender (or will be if they can boot up production and I can find one to try one for size) and I'm starting to get interested in Caddy's Lyriq. Two very different vehicles, but both with gorgeous interiors and tons of tech. (Should these EV-related posts be in a new thread?)

That's what I've ran in to locally as well, ADM in the $20K range for the new LC's... and I'm not a fan of it. It's pure greed and there's no justification for it, other than the local dealerships want to charge more.

I got quoted 850 to drop a brand new kitchen sink back into the sink hole where it was before countertop replacement. Probably an hour job max. Welcome to the year of the GREED

if the sink is so easy, why don't you do it?

I shopped around quite a bit before buying mine a few weeks ago, the ones I looked at didn't have markups per-se, but they did tack on the paint protection, mats, etc etc. At least you get something for your money. The PPF on my car's not great, it only covers half the hood which annoys me, but I negotiated it to half what they were asking for the stuff, so there's that...

same is true for the professional that carries liability insurance, plus has been impacted by gas cost spikes, etc. yes $850 seems high, although even a sink has variable factors and can have complications... i recently got a new sink which is undermount under the granite, and it was a HUGE pain for 2 different contractors, one to get the old sink out (had to cut a piece of cabinetry in a very clever way so it couldn't be seen) and the other to put the new one in. i think it cost me about $350 or $400. maybe your contractor saw your lc500 and decided to present 'special' rates.

get a second quote?
