Thanks. Delayed getting it until after Nov. 5 because of illness. Can't wait. I would have preferred the Atomic Silver. That was my first choice, but in the used market, we can't be picky! I think I will warm up to Liquid Platinum. I really wanted the Red interior. I think it's striking.

Oh WOW!! She looks beautiful!! My wheels are different. They are the 20" forged wheels. I don't know if those wheels were an option or not. Do you klnow what wheel design came standard with the car. Your wheels look sportier than mine.

Purchase price =$80k, Tax,Tag, Title, FL state tax, Extended Warranty =~$7k for a total out the door price of $87k. I purchased the vehicle from a Rolls Royce dealer in Raleigh, NC. They were asking something like $85k and I offered $80. The car was there for a while and not moving so they called me back and accepted the offer. I think I put $500 down as a deposit to hold the car. A couple of weeks later I traveled one way from Orlando to Raleigh. The dealer picked me up at the airport. I test drove the car and signed the paperwork completing the purchase. Spent the night in Raleigh and headed back to Central Florida the next morning, which was about a 630 mile one way trip. I feel I got a really good deal, at that time, given the options the car had. Yes, it’s Platinum Silver which is not the most popular color on this forum, but it’s easy to maintain and it gets lots of attention when its out and about. I’m as excited driving this car today as I was when I first test drove it. We are truly blessed to be able to acquire such a magnificent driving machine. I’m looking forward to many years of the Lexus LC500 driving experience.

Ha. Flew to Charlotte from Melbourne, Fl to get my '18 last year. Didn't get quite as good of a deal as Bill though, still 75k for a '18 with 17k miles.
Flew from Melbourne, I avoid OIA if at all possible.

FYI, New Member noriLC is looking to swap his new 21” wheels/tires for undamaged/low mileage 20” wheels/tires. You might want to reach out to him to see if a trade is possible.
