- I finally discuss what I do not like about the Lexus LC500 from 10 months of ownership. Let's also discuss what you can buy for the money and if purchasing a used LC500 makes sense? Comment below and tell me what would you buy?

Who wants to see a LC500 vs GTR and C7 Z06 comparison video? Features , build quality, performance, etc… ???
This would be a good video that would benefit those who are trying to choose between 3 very different cars.
This video would be good to know about maintenance cost between them.
My buddy has a 2017 GTR. Great comparison between my 2018 LC.
Do it
I know the R&D is crazy expensive for carb legal performance parts. However, I honestly believe that companies like Magnuson missed a golden opportunity with Toyota/Lexus vehicles. They would have made a killing with a SC Kit since many vehicles share engine platforms. The Magnuson SC KIT for the 5.7 Tundra is still a sought after kit that is carb legal
Track pad isn't bad at all. When these people review this car they can't find anything wrong wit it, so they have to bitch about something. I do wish it had a front camera.
The 2024 doesn’t have it anymore. Which is why I’m buying a used one. I have zero problems using the touch pad
Bro how are you seeing so many LCs in public 😭 I’ve only seen 3 in real life lol
😂 Everytime I drive out to North Dallas I see a few. It’s like unicorn spotting. Haha
But…. I’ve never seen another LC with any mods in person. They are always stock.
I am on my way to Houston to pick up my 2024 LC500 Inspiration series convertible (polar white satin w/deep blue interior) . Maybe you'll see my unicorn. 😊
Toyota headquarters. They’re employee cars.
Been living in europe for 3 years and just saw ine yesterday... -_- in north america they are also extremely rare. Gotta say its a classy fucken whip in person. Not too much a fan of the japs (imo bang for buck the germans slap them to shit) but this thing is something else.😮💨
The LC is scattered all over Florida, especially the convertible as you would imagine. I currently own the RCF, a little bit lighter and faster than the LC. Seems like now the RCF is more rare than the LC in my area. Eventually, I'll get an LC because it's just a work of art.
I think I can get used to the track pad, especially once I get used to where stuff is
Appreciate the video. I am looking for a daily driving car and considering the LC. Wasn't sure about used vs 2024.
Would also like to learn more about the cost of lowering and other mods. And how you chose your aftermarket mods, etc.
@@thomaslee6079 absolutely. Some of my earlier videos discuss those topics. Thank you for watching! More coming!
More of your LC 500 build, thanks
You’re right, as an owner we tend to like the trac pad. The issue is it takes some getting used to. A day review isn’t going to get u there, hence the bad press.
More LC500 build. I am deciding between GTR and LC so I appreciate when u mention GTRs but your vids help me lean towards the LC, which is what my brain wants me to buy...(price reliability luxury)
I’ll make a side by side and driving experience video with the LC and GTR.
Same thing! I don't park my LC next to anyone. I park way out and walk!
New edition has the 360 camera. Voice command if you don't use the track pad. Performance air filters?
Bruh we gotta work on your content I love the LC there’s a lot more you could go over. Love the openness but as a fellow Texas and Dallas resident we gotta see more in depth review. Also there’s a RCF supercharged out there it can be done. There wasn’t turbo kits for a lot of things until you are the first!
About to buy a 2018 LC myself. What wheels and suspension are you running? Great video
22” Ferrada FR4’s and RSR drop springs.

This car with a carb legal supercharger is a must. I definitely would get one
Are there any LC Clubs or meet ups in the DFW area? I am literally watching your video while on a plane to Houston to pick up my 2024 LC 500 covertible Inspiration Series. Only 1 of 125 and only one of fewer convertibles - no track pad. Lol
I think I'm in love.
Thank you for the vid and insight.
Thank you! I don’t believe there is, but that needs to change. I might have to start one. Haha
Btw… congratulations on your new LC!
@@Magmade_ right! we might need to be the founding members.
@@Magmade_ thank you.
The part where you park far away from others...I do the same with my GT350. I get so paranoid. I have a Lexus ES as a daily and it feels so much easier on my nerves to park anywhere.
I feel ya. Haha
Lc500 get yourself intake exhaust and tune easy 30+ HP my guy
A small piece of electrician tape over the TPS light is a cheap fix.
Maybe pull out the TPS fuse?
Where is the best place in DFW to get the chrome deleted?
trust me, you don't want the is500. I just bought a brand new is500 2024, drove for a month and traded in for an LC500. You just can't compare these two. The is500 is super floaty, unstable, and unconfident on winding road, which is a shame. It drives like a luxury family sedan. Heck, even the bmw 340i rides a lot more planted. The steering is also awful. Seat not as good as LC either. The LC is solid, feels much like my 2019 Panamera turbo when it comes to chassis feel/handling. I would probably get a GR86 or something more track focused to play with long with the LC if I were you. And an SUV to haul ppl/stuff around.
Curious how much harsher the ride is with the lowering springs?
It’s hard to tell since I put the wheels and springs on at about the same time. Definitely noticeably rougher but not bad.
Love this car
Yes. I should. So I shall
Which lowering spring did you go with? RSR?
RSR Down Springs
Lc is my dream car but its far from reachable for me. I could afford an old isf now. Or maybe an rcf in few years. But idk if i will be able to afford an lc in my life
I used to say the same thing. Just keep pushing yourself.
I just saw one with 56k miles for $59k. In a few years i bet you might be able to find a high mileage in the $40k range.
I’m going back and fourth with either a lc or a gtr . I already owned a gtr but for a daily I think lc is way better . But I’m stuck on both currently
The LC as a daily is really nice.
Same dilemma. My brain wants the LC, but my heart wants the GTR.
@@Magmade_ quick question besides the suspension issue you have would you buy a lc500 2017 lc 15k miles full trd aero and trd rims for 52k with no warranty ? Or if you had an option for warranty would you get it . Thank you
@@lmmedia9694 52k is very cheap! I would make sure the title is clean. If you like the rim and aero then thats a great deal. I personally bought the best deal LC I could find at the time with 20" wheels because I knew my plan for this car before I bought it. Check the CarFax. If it has good history then I would not be worried about the warranty. Mine was a one owner, full maintenance history so I bought mine out of warranty. Its a Lexus.. it will last forever!
@@Magmade_ I’m in Japan so currently they are really cheap cause the yen rate . They are clens title and performance s package . I’m thinking the same I heard the 20 ride better
Nice you from Dallas too
Yessir!
Does your seat belt strap work?
Yes it does.
IS500 is badass
Supercharge, turbocharged or even nitrous it is what I like to see it.
There is currently not supercharger or turbo available for the LC… but nitrous? 🤔
@@Magmade_ th-cam.com/video/sk5KumzE6_I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IKL8vbacjCmoAGYT
These cars will be worth 250k plus within the next 20 years. It is the last breed of a dying generation
Put a supercharger
hand holding the camera while you interview yourself while driving down a public road is a bad idea
I understand your concern and I can assure you my eyes are on the road. I mix my mounted GoPro and handheld shots. Im extremely careful with my driving and vigilant of my surroundings. Unfortunately I pass more people with heads down and staring down at their phones on daily basis. That pisses me off.
Back in. Never scrape your nose again
