Introducing my Lexus LC 500

[@jprusso224]

Lucky man!!! Congrats. That color is sooooo rare and sooooo beautiful. Now I'm jealous! (have a 2020 white on red, but now I want yours!)

[@javrabbit]

Haha thank you man! This was my dream spec. After selling my RC F i randomly went on autotrader and someone had just posted it for sale. Never thought id find one!! Hoping to put 200k miles on it!

[@MyGoogi]

gorgeous design and great car to drive i drove a friends 2024 sport + on the autobahn often + 240km/h the car was impressively stable at those speeds and the steering feel was excellent

[@petergazarek9466]

CONGRATULATION 😎👍 LEXUS LC 🥰 THE FIRST CLASS LUXURY GT CAR

[@javrabbit]

Thank you dude!

[@realRichHunting]

Very nice! If I ever get another LC, I'm definitely getting this color. Beautiful car man!

[@javrabbit]

Thank you brother!

[@novatech2129]

[@joshuawilson1582]

Absolutely beautiful man! Congrats 🎉🎉

[@javrabbit]

Thank you!

[@HotTakeHQ]

Yo sweet Lexus. Omg it’s my favorite model ever. I love ur spec. Under the hood is WILD bro We just started a KZbin ch too. About cars

[@javrabbit]

Thank you bro, I appreciate it! I’ll check your channel out too

[@RevLexus]

Congratulations!! Your interior is the same as mine, just a different exterior colour.

[@javrabbit]

Thanks you! Nice, we have the Best interior they made for the LC in my opinion! Everyone who sees the interior, say it looks like a concept car.

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Beautiful blue!

[@javrabbit]

Thank you!

[@2ZZGE100]

Very nice. Cheers!

[@javrabbit]

Thanks rolla!

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Fantastic video, sounds amazing! I have the hybrid lc 500

[@javrabbit]

Thank you so much! I heavily considered the hybrid version because I love hybrid cars and I also like the challenge of squeezing out the most mpg ever, since I like doing long road trips. Hope you’re enjoying your hybrid, i know it must be awesome!

[@CarsofGlasgow]

It is a good car, I test drove both the V8 and hybrid before buying. I am in Scotland, so the extra mpg helps when I pay about £1.50 a litre for petrol@@javrabbit

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Ps I have a video of it on my channel if you wish to see/hear it. I have the same interior as you but white exterior (1 of 5 for the UK)@@javrabbit

[@javrabbit]

I’ll check it out right now!

[@쿠루쿠루-d1n]

BESPOKE DETAIL BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@javrabbit]

Thank you so much!

[@mylexrcfupgrades1222]

I really like the carbon fiber engine cover! Nice!

[@javrabbit]

Thanks you, I appreciate it!

[@mylexrcfupgrades1222]

Where did you get it from. Want 1 for my LC too now after I seen yours.

[@javrabbit]

I get my parts from a website called BlackHawkJapan. They are based out of japan and order straight from manufacturer. Ive ordered part from them for my LC and RC F. Really fast shipping once part is manufactured and on average are $1000 cheaper than our American based sellers who throw ridiculous mark ups on these parts! This is the Blitz carbon fiber intake. The GruppeM is the same intake, just rebranded and use different filters. Here is the direct link www.blackhawkjapan.com/products/blitz-27021 Also, if theres a part you dont see on their website, you can shoot them an email and they will add it to the site for you. Ive done it with this carbon intake and the Varis body kit.

[@mylexrcfupgrades1222]

Thanks Bro!

[@ChrisAnderson-z9i]

structural blue goes so hard

[@Kevin27182]

Dang ive been looking for this spec for a long time now

[@javrabbit]

I got totally lucky. Woke up from a nap, opened autotrader private sales and someone had listed it minutes before i woke up. Sent payment same day 😂. Couldn’t miss out on this.

[@aycz]

This is full on MONEY

[@UrbanBDKNY]

Beautiful. Hopefully you got a good deal on that. I m looking to buy a used one but haven’t even been considering inspiration series. Felt like it would increase the price too much If you don’t mind sharing, what did you buy it for?

[@javrabbit]

It being an Inspiration series didnt seem to have much effect on pricing in the used market. The pricing seemed about the same as the other LCs at the time. I paid 70k last year march

[@UrbanBDKNY]

@@javrabbit man. That’s good to know about the inspiration not being much more now I just saw one with your same spec for 80k w 41k miles My favorite color is the yellow but those are so hard to find for a decent price. Right now I only see 2 and both are convertibles. I don’t like the convertible. The coupes body is what makes this cars shape

[@javrabbit]

@@UrbanBDKNY i agree with what you said about the coupe shape. I like it much better as well. Hmm id wait around for a better price. you’re sure to find one better priced in my spec, i would bet. I bought mine with 31k miles on it.

[@UrbanBDKNY]

@@javrabbit yea k m honestly look to pay about 60k for a regular model with about 30k I d pay a little more for a special edition one. Like but I wouldn’t go to 80. Not with these interest rates. I just did a search to see if I could find any special edition ones and that was the only one Where did you buy it? A local dealer, direct from seller or online? Also what rate did you end up getting

[@javrabbit]

@@UrbanBDKNY i think you’ll for sure find it in your price soon. I actually found it on the AutoTrader private seller network. Really cool experience. It is a private sale but Auto Trader acts as a middle man for all the money, tax, transfer of title, temporary registration and exchange process. They take the money from You and dont release it to the seller until they can confirm the car had been picked up by transport or by you, so the seller cant do any funny business. Only thing is the cost of transport that you can pay for your own transport company or use Autotraders. Autotraders price for transport was much more than finding your own transport. Paid 2005 for a completely enclosed trailer from michigan to arizona. Took about 3 days to get to me

[@chel8282]

Damn, nice car! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Canaz73]

You know of any LC meetups in the Phx / Tucson area?

[@javrabbit]

Not of any specific LC ones in either places. But in Tucson we have a group of RC F, IS F, and LCs that get together sometimes. I phoenix there is a larger crew of the same cars and they have an LC in their group as well and go to car shows together. Their group name on instagram is @Lexplicit.tm

[@Canaz73]

@@javrabbit thank you

[@likunjian1850]

Hey Javier thank you for sharing your LC500, may you explain when it is appropriate to upshift or downshift in this car? I see owners downshift when they are slowing down, and the RPMS slowly decreasing to around 4000 , and then they downshift again at 3000 RPM

[@javrabbit]

Maybe ill make a video about this! This will be a long one but It really all depends. If you want the really meaty and loud downshifts for example, downshifting from 3rd to 2nd at 51-55 mph is the sweet spot (while not pressing gas pedal). 5th to 4th has an aggressive downshift when youre at 4500-5000 rpm. You also dont necessarily have to be slowing down. Lets say you’re cruising in 10th gear and want to pass someone, downshift until the cars around 4500-5000 rpm and you’ll be nicely in the power band. Down shifting from 2nd to 1st is the only tricky one where the car will only allow you to downshift at 4000 rpm or lower. For upshifting, if youre just wanting to speed, id try to shift at 7000-7300 rpm. You’ll most likely hit the rev limiter if trying to perfectly shift at 7300 but it sounds awesome when you do it! If you want the nice sounding upshift pops, give the car 50% to 100% throttle and shift anywhere from 5500 rpm to 6500 rpm. In the end you really just want to explore the car. Try shifting at different rpms, down shift at different rpms to see what the car does. Lexus has safety margins put in so you wont blow your engine while experimenting and learning the car.

How you get CarPlay in 2018 system??

[@javrabbit]

Dealership can add it for you!

[@handleimoya]

나도 보면서 신기했던건데 터치는 어떻게 함?

[@tandinh1914]

Beautiful car, may I ask how I can be a baller like you?

[@javrabbit]

😂😂 Thank you bro! No baller here just been a software engineer for 8 years

[@thesportsperspective1818]

Nice!

[@javrabbit]

Thank you!

[@samyemen-c4n]

Nice

[@voogru]

Welcome to the structural blue club.

[@javrabbit]

Thank you! Happy to be here!!

[@voogru]

@@javrabbit By the way, there's only 99 now. One was wrecked pretty good, not sure if it'll be back. #004600

[@user-FTRU6GJ]

Did you get the midpipe with resonator or no resonator?

[@javrabbit]

This is the midpipe with the resonator. The axleback gets delivered this week, so i’ll have a video comparing the car with midepipe only and with the full exhaust soon.

[@jasonm.8749]

What rpms do you usually downshift at to get those amazing sounds? Any jerkiness when downshifting?

[@javrabbit]

2nd to 1st at 2900-3100rpm. 3rd to 2nd at 51 mph (cant remember what rpm thats at). For the best rev matching, let the engine slow down the car to the desired rpms/mph. If you slow down using the brakes it will be too fast and the rev matching downshifts wont be as aggressive. Those areas it shouldn’t be very jerky at all because of the rev matching.

[@chrisdunne1837]

What did the new exhaust cost ?

[@javrabbit]

Midpipe only was 1860 shipped from japan. The valved axleback portion that should be arriving in the coming month was 3,388

[@bluesky3694]

What year is this car?

[@javrabbit]

This is a 2018 car. the only year they did orange and blue with the interior

[@canoeshoe]

really bad roads there

[@javrabbit]

😂 extremely bad roads
