Which LC would you get?
Looking to make a purchase today, and have 2 choices:
1) 11,500 miles with performance package
2) 4,500 miles without performance package, has sport package (carbon roof)
Both have convenience package, both are 79k
Not sure if the performance package is offset by the extra miles.
I haven't driven one with the performance package, so I don't know the difference. Pls weigh in with your opinions.
thanks

Perf package is white with Red interior and other is red with black interior.
Active rear steering and variable gear ratio steering don't make a difference?

I recently drove one each and remember the performance had firmer seats and ride. The ride you can comfort up. But I didn't compare the two on comfort mode. I didn't push the performance one enough. I'm looking more for quiet and comfort, selling my 2016 Z51 Corvette with mag ride. I might go back and redo the performance, as they are in discount mode now.

Performance package makes it worth it for me then, color combo, active wing, the variable gear ratio steering - and since this is a Lexus without FI i am not too worried.
If anything would take a look @ the rotors/brake pads and tire life also on the cars. Also test drive both - they might have more brake noise than the other too

from pic you originally posted, looked like the wheels were black. If so, that's not from the factory (I believe), so be sure that nothing (else) has been done to void the Lexus warranty.

On the GS, active rear steering and the variable gear-ratio steering make a huge difference, so I would imagine it does on the LC as well. I would go for the performance package. That color combo is reason alone.

It was the best price that I found after looking at many. Turns out the 3rd party smaller dealer selling the one with the performance package was trying to bait and switch. Pictures on the website show a performance package, but the car doesn't have it.

I would get the performance package if you can.
Ive run into a handful of LC's (about 3) on the road and none of them have the performance package. When I bought mine I was told that they are pretty rare to get, I actually believe that statement because even when Ive gone to the dealership I have seen none.
As far as performance goes I wouldnt be sure since I only test drove a sports package one on a test drive.
