Default My new toy

Just drove it home this week. Every dealer in MA had this same color combo, but not with the Performance Pkg. To my surprise, a nearby NH dealer had this fully loaded LC500 on the showroom floor for less than 2 weeks, and they applied a $6834 discount! They said that was invoice price. Sounds about right to me(?). Thank you Nigel at Ira Lexus of Manchester!

The steering with the Performance Pkg is so incredibly impressive. I'm loving this beast!

The only non-LED lights I could find were the visor vanity bulbs. I upgraded those to LEDs (4th pic)...

Sweet ride! And great job on the discount. It pays to go a bit far from big cities to get better deals. My dealer still won't budge from MSRP.

If you don't need the Performance Pkg, and you don't mind driving one (or trucking one) home from MA, they don't seem to be moving here. The same inventory (no Performance Pkg) has been on the dealer lots for weeks. And with Summer just about over, I imagine they're eager to make a deal.

Very nice, there is about $7K profit on the performance package V8. I'm sure there is some holdback money that the dealers receive as well.

Congratulations!

Thanks everyone! I think I'll name her "Trixie" (anyone out there as old as me - and remember Speed Racer?)
