Could it possibly be the wing mirrors? Mine seemed to do it very occasionally, but not for sometime now. Maybe fold them in, if it's safe, and see if anything changes. Long shot but might be worth ruling them out.

Mine's been called The Batmobile a few times, I said it's more like Bruce Wayne's daytime car. The black has really grown on me, if I ever get another one I'd certainly consider it again, failing that Sonic Titanium would be nice (the RC I had before the LC was in that colour).

Main obvious differences to mine are the wheels and carbon fibre sills, prefer my wheels to be honest, but very nice indeed!

It may be, because the price differential between the trim levels is relatively small, most people have just said 'let's just go for it'. and ordered the top spec. Unlike other manufacturers, eg Porsche, where basically everything is extra!

Agreed. Totting up the figures, including special editions, there are 339 V8's and 199 hybrids so far in '24. Surprisingly large number of hybrids, about 37%.

This list has started to be updated for 2024; a surprisingly high number of registrations, in fact it seems to be overall higher than 2023 for most variants. I thought it would have been lower. This may be a more hopeful sign than I was thinking, I might start looking for a newer used model by the end of 2025, as there isn't really another car car out there for me currently that I would want, I would guess the vast majority of these are post-'23 facelifted. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?q=LEXUS+LC+500&commit=Search

Yes, odd. That one's not on Autotrader or the official Lexus Used lists, but it IS on Lexus Coventry's own website. Sometimes these listings are a bit hit & miss.Not my colour though. So that's about 5 post '23 refresh coupes so far, 2 at Lincoln, one at Grimsby & Cheltenham, and this one. Might even get into double figures at this rate!

Not sure, mines the hybrid so I'm probably not familiar with that. I''m sure others will chime in. It's a BMW main dealer; looks like he part-ex'd it for a BM after 3 months ?

This one's just turned up, only 3 months old, in Grimsby. Not a Lexus dealer though. Someone didn't keep it for long...... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202403278019179?sort=price-desc&advertising-location=at_cars&make=Lexus&model=LC&postcode=wn12nq&year-to=2024&fromsra

A quick breakdown of those stats shows about 45 new registrations in 2023 of V8's, and 7 hybrids. Doesn't seem to be able to split the V8's into coupe or convertible though, and obviously all the convertibles are V8's. I guess there's probably 7 hybrid coupes and maybe 25-35 V8 coupes? The Lexus & Cheltenham ones are all registered from 1/9/2023 onwards, so I guess that's probably when the facelifted ones started appearing.

Other than convertibles, there's also a V8 coupe at Lexus Cheltenham, but it's Sport Grade, not Sport +, and no hybrids anywhere yet that I can see. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of post-'23 coupes gets much out of single figures.

I notice that there's currently no post-'23 facelift coupe models at all on Autotrader; there are 3 coupes on the official used lists, 2 are at Lexus Lincoln and the other is at Cheltenham. All V8's, though the Cheltenham one is Sport grade so has those reversed black/white wheels, which in my opinion are not nice at all! All hovering just under £90k, and I'm pretty sure the Lincoln ones have been up for some months. Probably will get more showing up over the next months, but not sure how many will have made it to the UK before they pulled the plug, I suspect very few.

Couldn't agree more, I've had mine 3 years next month and I am really struggling to find anything else I'd want. Had this conversation with one or two people recently. A real shame that Lexus have stopped taking UK orders for the LC, but (as yet) don't seem to be planning a replacement. I probably would have waited till '25/'26 then tried to find a used '23 facelift model, but there'll probably be so few in the country I'd physically not be able to find one in the right spec/colour. Holding on to mine for the forseeable I think, I'm only doing 6-7k a year mileage.

Hi Paul, I had this problem 2 years ago & it was replaced by the dealer, free of charge- Not had a recurrence, but it does seem, to agree with Brian, a bit of a 'feeble' mechanism.

Might be looking to change my LC in 24/25 but I think those Sport+ wheels, whilst nice, seem a bit 'busy' and probably much more difficult to keep clean than the current 21" ones. Other than the touchscreen, doesn't look very different at all to mine. Still no other car I'd really be tempted by out there at the moment, even at 1.5 -2x the price point. Being cash-only as well, plus the excellent car & dealer experience I've had, makes me loath to change from Lexus. Time to get on the configurator, I think!
