Default So who is trading in their RCF for LC500

So they are in stock now for around 100k across the states. Questions is will they sit or will they sell. I think they will sit and collect dust for that price. I sure see ALOT of advertisement of the LC on tv. Wish Lexus advertised the RCF just as much

I like it but I like the RCF better as far as looks... performance is about the same so nothing there, the interior is looking nicer on the LC but I haven't seen it in person and I still like the interior of the RCF as well anyways. So yeah, for that price, I'll keep my RCF... besides, I can't afford that price anyways lol ... at least not without some major adjustments and I can't justify spending that much in a single car........ now if it were an "LCF" with some monster engine or somehting for that price....

If the RCF had a decent resale, but 2 years in and it's trade value is crap, so no I won't be trading..

I agree on looks. The front of the LC looks like a regular RC and the side isn't anything special either. Other cars at that price range sure won't be looking at the rear either as they are faster.

If it follows the RCF trend on depreciation, it would be a nice pickup for 60k after 2 years

There is NO reason to trade, NO performance benefits as its the same engine in the RCF, so why TRADE when your getting the same engine in almost the same body.

I completely agree with you, I tough for a while about trading the RCF for one, but for the price/performance I cannot justify it. maybe when it comes down on price "considerably" .

in addition I have to get permission from my 3yr old boy, since he says that the RCF is his car

Haha...yeah, my son loves the RCF and I have asked him what he thought about me getting rid of the RCF...he got upset and was extremely adamant about me keeping it. (I wasn't thinking of getting rid of it but wanted to see his reaction).

As for the LC, it is nice but not $100k nice. I see both the LX and LS drop from $90k all the way down to $50-$60k after 2-3 years so I would assume the LC will do the same.

Not a fan of the look at all. I definitely won't be trading in my RCF for an LC500.

I would wait for the LC F which will look proper, though I'm not buying cars that depreciate like rags moving forward. I've learned my lesson with the RC F.

Nope, not in my sights and never will be. If Lexus does not offer FI in any of its performance cars, I will be going to the dark side..

The price and the performance of the LC500 make my RCF a great bargain.

Keeping my RC-F as well. Waiting to see if there will really be an LC-F.

Default Agreed. A 600hp flagship is desired

or an RC500.
Call it what they want but a 600+hp engine is a new must for a sixfigure purchase price. Jmo
