Hi forum,

I'm new to the forum and am actively searching for a used LC convertible right now. Ideal color combination is Nori Green Ext with Toasted Caramel Int.

There seems to be a lot of LC convertibles from 2021~2023. Are there any differences between those model years for LC convertible that I should aware of before pulling the trigger on one? (such as suspension tuning/infotainment change, etc.)

P.S. I know that 2024 model now have the newest Infotainment system but for me it's not a big enough change to pay for a new one.

There were very minor suspension tuning changes each year, that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. There was a big surge in sales in 2021 with the convertible introduction:



So most of the used convertibles you will see are 2021's. Here's the specifics about the changes per year:

2022 - https://pressroom.lexus.com/whats-new-2022-lc-500-500h/

For 2022, the LC 500 continues to embrace the Lexus Driving Signature Next Chapter brand pillar through enhancements to the vehicle’s dynamic handling characteristics. Front and rear suspension settings have been optimized to enhance ground contact feel, linear steering response and steering effectiveness in the high cornering G range. This suspension enhancement results in nimbler vehicle handling and a sharper connection between driver and vehicle.

2023 - https://pressroom.lexus.com/whats-new-2023-lc-500-500h/

For 2023, the LC 500 embraces Lexus Driving Signature through the vehicle’s dynamic handling characteristics. Front and rear suspension settings have been optimized to enhance ground contact feel, linear steering response, and steering effectiveness in the high cornering G range. With nimbler vehicle handling, Lexus Driving Signature creates a sharper connection between driver and vehicle.

Much appreciated! I guess it makes sense to get a '21 then.

I'm selling a Nightfall Mica (blue) with Caramel '21 convertible if you're interested, has under 7K miles. I'm in Denver. I've seen the Nori Green you're interested in, it's also a nice color.
