For two years, I had planned ordering a new Macan GTS. A lot of money at 75k for my chosen spec, and with a year wait, I couldn't quite take the plunge. 2 months ago I hadn't even heard of the LC 500. I am still not sure how I got to hear of it. Perhaps a youtube video. Anyway to cut to the chase, having test drove a hard and soft top version, and with residuals so high and so limited availability of used convertibles, I have now taken the plunge and ordered a new convertible. The Regatta version, in deep blue with the white interior with blue accents, and blue roof, similar to the previous limited edition launch model, but in the standard Lexus metallic deep blue. This car makes the Macan look very conventional. Considerably more than I intended spending, but you can't take it with you. So excited, but now a one year wait.....

Having test drove the one for sale at the Bristol dealership, which I loved but thought overpriced, I have watched the price drop from 75k to 68, which seems eminently better but imho still 10 pct too high vs new. I think prices will fall further but there will always be demand for such a great, if somewhat niche car, Anyway, having got a good deal, I have taken the plunge and ordered a new convertible from another dealership. Completely mad and impractical, but you only live once...
