A dealership list a 2018 LC500 for $83k until a few days ago. It’s now listed for $93k. Wow

If we start from believing getting 15% off for a new car, which is 92k for a new 107 msrp, than the used car should be around 72k. Now, the question becomes which market & information is wrong, used or new?
I think that the first year is tricky because part of the lost value of the car is the dealer profit which is taken right away from the value of the car.
Why? Because you cant get that back. Even if you drive the car out of the dealer and try to sell it down the block you will have lost the dealer profit.
The rest of the time the components of the depreciation curve are primarily car years old, mileage and condition.
Also, I don't think we can take one example and compare it with the statistical average.
That is my 25 cents.

Look like 15% for 2019 new LC is a little bit aggressive.

Using a best of list is probably not the best strategy in the world. But hey to each their own

I think I looked it up at the beginning of the discussion and dealer is at 9% per KBB.

I would push for at least $20K off.
There are more 2017-2019 Ferrari and Lamborghini on the road than any 2017-2019 LC500. Exclusivity is a great thing.

Bought my 2018 Performance Pack fully loaded in December of 2017 $105K dealers were not budging on MSRP at that time. I took a 20% depreciation hit 9 months later and steadily depreciating like a lead bomb.

When the car is a keeper, depreciation is a non issue.
Have a good weekend !

Agreed! The longer I own the LC the more I'm reminded of why I bought it in the first place. Sure it's not as fast as some of the other cars for it's class however, it offers so much more than the others in terms of reliability, luxury and exclusivity. There were more Lamborghini Hurcans produced than the LC500 from 2017-2019 making the LC500 that much more of a unicorn.
