I think it’s across the board. Cost of living is just crazy.

If Top Trump numbers are of importance to you, my gut feeling is.... don't buy one.

Quite easy to open the exhaust valves. You can do a bodge ( or buy some electronics - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1067743897/lexus-lc-500-exhaust-valve-controller?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_uk_en_gb_a-electronics_and_accessories-car_parts_and_accessories-car_accessories&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAjwzN-vBhAkEiwAYiO7oH8Zb3-VrDl87O3mMlRRR2nnB8tbiC8kY_2FQSu8COd8RYL-6LJEvRoCcSwQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12603394034_126677795184_508814344970_aud-2079782229334:pla-354955384985_c__1067743897engb_102858184&utm_custom2=12603394034&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzN-vBhAkEiwAYiO7oH8Zb3-VrDl87O3mMlRRR2nnB8tbiC8kY_2FQSu8COd8RYL-6LJEvRoCcSwQAvD_BwE) Fitting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIeXiScHqpk

My spin on this…… Having had people break into my house looking for keys (years ago) whilst I was in the house, I’d rather just wake up and the car be gone. End of. I don’t want some determined bar steward standing over my bed with a baseball bat asking for a ghost code. Visual deterrents are surely the best. Even better friend, the law of averages. There surely can’t be much demand for an LC, and most LCs seem to be that yucky red colour - nobody would want one of those, surely 😜

Like you say, what else would you replace an LC with? 🤔 I’ve bought a little warm BMW to daily….. probably faster than the LC 😀. The LC will remain in the garage and only be used occasionally. Not driven the LC for three weeks, then started it yesterday. God…… it’s so loud for a stick car cold start. 😂

Few people know what an RC-F is. I really wouldn’t worry

More and more cars seem to be suffering with this - here and over in the US. The tightening fix only seems to fix it for a while.......

Generally when you pull off and come to stop. A single clunk. Once it happens it won't happen again until you do the opposite motion i.e stop or start.

Let's hope they fix it for you - it's the sort of thing that can drive you POTTY!

Yeh yeh - another LC500 😁 On the other hand, the house looks amazing. How about a walk round video of that!?

I've encountered this with several LCs. Just be warned that Lexus tend to fix it and the noise returns. Hopefully the attached will help.

Was looking at an R8, but LC500 sound (to me) is up there with the R8 V10 (and more accessible) LC500 rarity LC500 loved by most of the public LC500 reliability and RELAX. R8 fragility scared the hell out of me

Personally, having driven both RWS and non RWS, I wouldn't buy a car without it. The turn in is so much more crisp and makes the car feel much smaller than it is.

Totally agree - but for me, I've actually learnt to enjoy them because of this. Having said that, I'll definitely be going back to Michelin. They seem much more predictable.

Just as an update on this. It appears that Lexus recognise that the original seat suffers from excessive movement. They have tweaked the design since, BUT the tweak doesn't work. So, if your seat doesn't move right now - it probably will sooner or later 😁

£850 is super cheap. Wait itil the OP has to replace the front discs / pads (and potentially the sensors) - ££££££.

You need to find out what you did, as everyone will want to replicate 🤪

It’s all crystal ball stuff. I guess it’s fair to say that an ISF isn’t going to be impacted as much as the electric brigade, but in the current market, I’m of the opinion that prices will get sucked down by everything else. It’s always difficult to value an ISF. The market for them is so small. 95% of buyers will walk straight past and into the arms of an M3, C63 or RS4.

With a lack of low end torque, an F car is much better than the likes of an M4 / 63. Hope you got home safely!

This is correct. My dealer told me a few weeks back. Last cars will roll off the line in March 2024. Same for the RC-F.

I drove from the Cotswolds to the Cairngorms- 40 mpg. Once in Scotland……………😛

OP, have you got multiple accounts?

Firstly, why do you need a new rack? Reason I ask is because there is a TSB.

Once again, agree with all that’s been said. All I will add, is that I don’t think the market has hit bottom…. nowhere near bottom yet. Maybe worth just Mororwaying it and sticking the money in a savings account. Then, sit and watch your money grow and the car market continue to fall. I’m tempted to do this myself.

Agree with all this. Depends on how quickly you need to sell it, but I’d be tempted to price it competitively. The market isn’t on the up by a long shot 😢
