What do you think of this ?


Recommended Posts

I think it's okay, but its market must be the USA not wet old UK.

Call me tight but I'd rather buy a 2013-5 AMG SL63 for about £40K I had one of the N/A Sl63's and really liked it, ugly as f*** outside but a nice interior and decent roadholding, plus with the roof up and the suspension set on comfort you could travel miles in luxury.

I guess when its been around a while the LC will become a good secondhand buy like the RCF.

Yes, but with a frightening extended warranty cost for the LC

I checked on Autotrader today for the first time since Aug 2019, and the trade in value of my RCF has only dropped by £830 in 10 months. After eye-watering initial depreciation, I'm very happy with that, especially as I've been scared to look with the supposed Covid 19 price apocalypse

I agree about the warranty having just re-newed mine for 2 years at £995.The cost for the LC would certainly be a factor for consideration in the future.

As with the RCF the wheel arch gap is way too big for my likings.

Now I like a convertible but would need to see it in the flesh. It will be a rare sight on our roads so that makes it a bit more attractive. Being a soft top you will hear the exhaust note more which is a good thing. Sorry. Colour works for me. 🥰😍

Yes I think the colour of both your car and this one is great, with the right detailing the colour really 'pops' I'm assuming it is a pearlescent yellow finish. Might be a tad on the feminine side in that colour though.

I've drooled over this (not yellow though) since the concept was launched and I've signed up for news. Spoke with Lexus Stockport over the weekend and they're expecting a few to do the rounds in late Autumn but they will be (very) exclusive and largely built to order. I just need to figure out how to finance it - if I sell the RCF and the TVR and a kidney then I might be able to afford it.....or I be patient and let someone else take the initial depreciation hit...

Any idea how much they will be ?

I think Lexus may have a winner on their hands here, unlike previous Lexus soft-tops it looks good from every angle. I wonder what the Regatta model has.

It needs these wheels though

Those wheels remind me of the baddies helicopter from Bond's The World is Not Enough

Except the blades looked MUCH better 😂

I would have one in a heat beat but it's a second car toy isn't it and I would need to win the lottery first. Looks awesome in the Lexus press photos in Blue though. As an 8 year old second hand prospect can you imagine having a fault on the folding roof to sort. Might need a second lottery win.

Plenty of SC430s that are 15 years old - very rare to see posts of roof issues on these forums.

I know this is the wrong section for this and should be talked about in the LC forum but what do us F owners think?

 

 

I think it looks great, I love his videos in general! I imagine the V8 growl would be amazing roof down

Can't match the looks or performance but it's possible to get some fairly similar tunnel music from your SC for a lot less than £100k. I'm curious to know how much noise suppression the soft-top provides. The hard top is very good in this regard.

That is very true Neil!! The hard top is whisper quiet and a V8 is a V8 I guess 🙂
I am hoping to get a shot of the LC convertible this autumn so I will let you know 🙂
