Default LC 500 owners?

Any past or current owners? I am considering a convertible (2024) model but all years are basically the same other than some little things so comments would be nice!

did you decide to get one? im not an owner but have spent hours driving lc's. lexus build quality is top notch, the n/a 5.0l v8 (2ur-gse) is super reliable and high revving, exhaust sounds great under load. 10spd transmission is smooth for the price point. much better than the rcf's. the only reliability issue i'm aware of is something called the valley pate leak on the 2ur-gse so it affects some isf's, rcf's and lc500's. you can search clublexus.com for details on that. the car is pretty heavy so more of a real tourer.

Nope, I decided my Spyder was much more fun, and I only have room for 2 cars and a motorcycle.

My next Lexus will definitely be this. But for now, I will have to manage this baby carrier (although my kids have grown up now)

One of you may like these, which I had custom-made for the LC500 I never wound up getting. They are White/Black and made to go over the wheel caps and front & rear emblems. They are gel emblems so they are not just stickers!
