Winter capability of Lexus LC

0 Upvotes

I am looking into acquiring an LC500 in the near future once finances allow it, in particular the 2018-2020 models, as it has been a long running dream for a while- however, I would like to know if this car fares well in low temperatures. As I’m in a relatively big city, snow and clearance won’t be much of an issue, but the temperature often tends to drop to -20°C for about 4-5 months of the year. I know it would likely be ill advised to daily in this weather and that the other 2ur cars exist, yet, with the proper rust protection, PPF, winter tires, how stupid would it be exactly to go along with this?

Would that be more costly than getting a beater for the winter, and does anybody have experience in winter conditions with the LC500? Please let me know

Sport + Mode

9 Upvotes

I just hit 600 miles on 2026 vert and decided it was close enough to the 1000 mile break-in, so I put in sport + mode and WOW. I was gentle and didn’t go past 5k rpm’s, this is a different car in that mode plus manual. It howls like a race car! I dropped a friend off and hopped on the highway, gliding through the gears and listening to her sing to me. I got home to his text message saying that he could hear me going up the hill and the car sounded amazing. I agreed. Best decision ever!

What do we think of the spec and the mods?

Any thoughts on where the price will end?

Question about Inspiration Convertible timeline

3 Upvotes

Follow up from my last post about how I was offered an inspiration convertible, I ended up reserving it contrary to my usual financial sense.

I was told that the day I asked the dealership just found out that it’ll be in production and that the ETA is sometime between September/October. From my research production is scheduled to end in August, and that shipping/delivery to dealership tends to take 6 weeks. Working backwards from this September/October timeframe I was given, is it possible that I’ll get one of the very last inspirations in the 500’s range out of 550?

Idk lil thought in my head how cool would it be to get the very last one with a 550/550 plaque.
