Lexus LC500 vs Lexus RC-F...?

And the LC will be $100k, so what's the extra $40k for?

I would say go drive it and make up your own opinion about it. Everyone's view on a car is going to be different. The GS-F is heavier than the RC-F, but surprisingly it has gotten some better reviews. It depends on what your meaning of suck is? The LC isn't a pure sports car. Its a big luxury coupe cruiser. Think Mercedes S Class Coupe and BMW 6 Series. This car isn't being marketed to most people on this forum. Down on torque, but HP seem to be inline when compared to the 650i and S550 coupe.

Anyways, back to the SC430. I think thats a great buy. My neighbor brought a 2005 with 32k on it for $27k two years ago. A little high IMO, but she got it at one of those big name luxury stealership... It had only one owner and looked brand new, show room condition. I say go for it, only $15k seems dirty cheap.

Here in Idaho, things seems a lot cheaper. Looks like there were 2 versions 2001-2005 and then 2006-2010 (estimates on years).

Just did a little google-fu and found a few of the 2001-2005 with less that 60k miles and at around 10-17k.

Something to consider for sure.

Gorgeous car, crazy technology, but.....that 10 speed auto .

I can't really imagine Toyota shoving a 1LR-GUE into another Lexus model. It would probably piss off the customers who bought an LFA.

It would be nice though.

Looks like I'm moving to Idaho now :p

The facelift ones do look nicer, but they are a few pennies more. I'm cheap, would just go with the 02-05 year model.
