I'm not sure I'm allowed to do this on here - but I am now conciously on the lookout for Sport+ with ML if anyone is planning to sell soon. V8 with FLSH is a must though. Sub £45k.

No, I mean the one you mentioned at the bottom of Page3, where you weren't sure about the colour/effect on the alloys. That was a lovely spec and sold very quickly. The one with the black wheels is nice...but I'm still holding out for ML.

Well that took a big swing from potentially buying an earlier model 😁 congrats, that looks great. Quite a bit more movement in the market now the new year is here - the red on mentioned earlier in this thread (with SPP, and the painted wheels) sold quickly. The red one that was up for sale for aaaages at Auto100 has gone too.

Do Lexus not offer the service plan for the LC, where you pay monthly? It's the route I was looking to go, however it's not listed on the website...sure I've seen it before?

Just to hijack this thread save starting another. How important is the Mark Levinson audio as a package and for resale? I'm hopefully off to see this example at Auto100 this week: https://www.auto100.co.uk/used-car-details/used-lexus-lc-500-50-v8-sport-plus-auto-euro-6-coupe-red-automatic-petrol/id-202308070537311/ However it doesn't have the ML - is it actually worth it (in terms of quality) and is it considered something essential as part of the overall package?

Some interesting stuff posted here...! I'll skip the boring and stick with the interesting ones for me: MK1 Golf GTi Lotus Elise S160 Honda Integra Type-R Alfa 147GTA (with 3.7 Autodelta engine) Audi RS2 S1 Lotus Exige S1 Lotus Evora R171 Merc SLK55 AMG Vauxhall VXR8 S2 Lotus Elise 135 Alfa 4C

Problem is Malc that people have very short memories - the last 4 years have been bizzare for a miriad of reasons, not least the fact that depreciation in cars was all but zero, with plenty of people selling for a profit (I was one of them!) but if you read the thread on Pistonheads the amount of people who think that's normal and next Spring all the cars will magically increase back in price is incredible. I'm old, grey and grumpy enough to accept that 30-50% depreciation after 3 years is 'normal' and anything better than that is a bonus.

It's not just LC500's - it's the market in general, especially across the premium/luxury/sports range. I've been keeping an eye on various cars, and they're all dropping dramatically in price. Combination of time of year (winter) and also an economic dip. Plenty are saying we'll see a correction in Spring, but I don't think it's be a correction in terms of an uptick in price; those days are long gone. I think things will just simply stabilise.

I know it's not the V8, but if you want that LC500 quality but also love trees and have a max budget of £40k, you're in luck: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202309182118547 Might want to carefully check the history/condition/warranty status and how much it's been modified (Maxton kit, plus mid-range tyres and some tints (maybe?) - but still, thats a LOT of car for Electric Vauxhall Corsa money.

I can tell you it's been for sale since 29th September, and was originally up for £52k. Nice colour.

This one is of real interest to me...not so much that particular car, but as a general market benchmark. Still there after a week. Been watching the LC500's for a bit hoping to see a few <50k choices over the winter. Maybe not the place to ask it, but while I'm here - regarding the LC500 warranty, what are the rules to extend the warranty? Needs to be full Lexus SH? Does it need to be inspected before carrying on the warranty (like Porche and Merc do if there is any break in warranty cover?)
