Is the 2021 Lexus LC500 convertible WORTH IT?

[@hockeymann88]

All things considered, this has got to be one of of the nicest GT's on the market. Still stunning.

Just picked up a 21' Convertible. Amazing build quality and a blast to drive. Not as fast as other cars I've owned but nothing else rides or sounds like it. I don't need the speed now as much as I do the overall pleasure of the drive. NO storage space, so don't bother looking. Not even a seat back pocket. Windsreen can't be put down while the top is up. View is blocked. Still Love the car.

[@jerrywarren2007]

I have one of these, had it for a few weeks, the car is such a treat to drive. Had the top down today, 51 degrees out, the climate concierge does a super job of keeping us comfy (windows up) on the surface roads and the highway

Way better than a touch screen. Plus Apple car play Android Auto you don't need it. You shouldn't be using a screen while driving anyway and that is the only convenience of a touchscreen.

ray doherty sure thing... low mileage for me is 10miles on odometer. Ya it is a toyota, every 4-5yrs you change tires (rubber expires after 6yrs), breaks etc. Not to mention brand new cars are cheaper to insure and lower financing rate. Why would I spend money on a second hand when I am about to hit a milestone. Plus the warranty.. your A/C dies on you thatll be thousands. Keep it for 10yrs, sell it, I bet you the amount of money youd spent would be the same. So, new it is and keep it for a long time.
