Default LC500 Inspiration Series

Hello,

I’m new to the forum and have been looking for a 2021 LC500 Inspiration Series. I love that brownish interior but so far I only found one on CARFAX with 7K miles and a few Ks above MSRP. Is this a good deal for an inspiration series, given that only a limited number of them were produced?

Also is there any place where I should be looking in addition to CARFAX and Autotrader? Thanks a lot!

Use AutoTempest.for your search.
From what I can tell dealers sell the IS at or even above MSRP when new and I'm pretty sure they can get a premium above the guide values when sold used. They are hard to find so they will wait for someone to pay a little extra, but don't be afraid to negotiate.
Use JoinYAA.com and you can see how long they've had the car on their lot.

Your line of thinking no longer applies to the supply-and-demand market of today, my friend.

I am quite thankful I have zero car purchases to make.

Got my new LC in Dec 2020 and gf got her 2019 Cayenne in Aug 2021.

I feel sorry for people who get into accidents and have to go through the process of finding a new vehicle with today’s madness.

Cargurus.com is good too. You can weed out the cars with accident histories, damage, fleet use, etc.

they don't, but the point was why would someone pay more than the msrp of a NEW one, for a used one.

$134,000 for a 2021 LC with 9.4K miles. You Canucks are either all rich or extremely thirsty bout getting your hands on an LC…..I just love it. As long as folks continue to pay these ridiculous prices, manufacturers & dealers will keep limiting supply. Whether its real or not.

Asking price is not the same as Sold price.
