Wind Deflector - has anyone any feedback on the wind deflector? I saw a few of you were looking to buy one and just wondered what you thought about it? 

Congratulations. Let us know how you get on with the wind deflector. Also, does it come with a  bag for storing in the boot when your not using it? 

Lexus quoted around £960 inc VAT. Can’t recall the exact amount. I’ve also seen this version advertised which looks higher than the Lexus version but no idea what it’s like. https://www.cabriosupply.co.uk/lexus-lc-500-aluminium-wind-deflector-2021-on
still haven’t made my mind up. 

There’s a lovely red and black one at Tunbridge Wells. That was my second choice of colour scheme. It’s all personal choice though. Good luck! 

These were taken last year when it was being ceramic coated.

Thanks, yes there is always hope and the dealership seems just as in the dark. Having reconsidered Mercedes S class, Bentley,  BMW and Aston Martin options, I am quickly back to the LC. It's just a question of whether I buy a used one for this summer or hold out for my chosen spec

I had the same issue. Ordered a new one in Sept 21 and the date kept getting put back. I was lucky enough to find an almost identical spec convertible for sale. Best thing I did was buying it as we wouldn’t have had the trips we did last summer. 

Just googled it and there are now 3 secondhand convertibles for sale. One only has a few miles. Most I’ve ever seen. 

I didn’t order it with the windshield and I’m still in two minds whether to get one. I’ve driven it in all temperatures and you do get some draft at higher speeds when it’s cold but as they’re £970 + VAT I thought I’d try an extra jumper first! The concierge heating is very good though. 

You won’t regret it. A brilliant car. I had a similar experience when looking for a convertible. Came across the LC500 and hadn’t heard of it. I couldn’t find a convertible to test drive only the Coupe. I ordered a new one last year but the date kept getting pushed back and luckily found a secondhand one in the same spec and colour as I’d ordered. I still haven’t seen another on the road. Enjoy it when it comes. 

Hi Malcolm,

The numberplate on the photos I’ve seen of the car match those on the CarWow video on YouTube so assume it was a press car. 
Price wise I think it’s high. Sheffield did something similar with the one they had for sale and then dropped it to £5 short of £90k and that one was 9 months newer and had 10000 less miles on it. 

It’s always personal choice but I like having the option of being to take the roof down and the Concierge climate control is excellent.

Afternoon, my first post! May I ask LC convertible owners how long it took from order to delivery please?

Driven LC500 coupe, fallen in love, WLTM convertible for fun in the sun/drizzle.

I ordered a convertible last September and was told it would be available in February this year. That then slipped to May, July and last week I was told it’s now October 2022 but still not guaranteed. I wanted something I could use this year so less than ideal. I’d have preferred a new one but In the end I opted for a secondhand one from Lexus Sheffield that is mentioned in other parts of this thread. They don’t seem to come up very often. The dealer told me that if you want one for 2023 now is the time to order.

Hi

all ok so far.

cheers Steve

now trying to locate a windscreen/windbreak accessory but can’t locate one.

Hi Steve,

I ordered a convertible last year (due who knows when!) and asked about the wind deflector but didn’t get much joy. Did you manage to find one??

cheers
