Depreciation and Resale Value?
#136
I am actively looking for 2019 lc500 which has a bespoke white interior. Your numbers are a very valuable pricing data. Thanks!
I search on some website saying that 104k MSRP lc500 has an invoice price of 94k something, how can they going down that much below invoice price to 88k? Dont get me wrong, I do hope your numbers are correct, just curious whether dealer is losing money on selling new lc500 and why would they do that, since that number look insane even given the lc500 sales data is only 1/4 of its expectation

From the start I let the sales people and dealer know I only care what my total cost is out the door. I don't want to hear about the cost of any add ons (other than the options I want), taxes, license or fees. There actually was another '$2K' of dealer installed adds. So the car's sticker was at $103K. Hard to see, but at least looks like, Zaktek, paint protection package, nitrogen, door edge guards,door handle guards, skylink.

i've been cross shopping with a Jaguar F Type R, which i love, as a recent Jaguar owner, and an RCF. the LC 500 is in a tough spot because it doesn't perform like similarly priced cars. The RCF has the same engine, same performance and more room. it's many thousands cheaper. i love the looks of the LC 500 (which are polarizing), but it's a steep increase for aesthetics. there are so many good cars that could be had for less, M4, cayman, c63 AMG....i have an RX350 and i'd love to buy another new lexus, but some dealer is going to have to make it worth my while.

I miss the auto exit seat. I don't like the car turning off when you open the door after a remote start. I was surprised that the trunk doesn't have auto close. The track pad is more trouble than its worth. I miss not having a front camera or birds eye view for parking. The lack of a front camera is probably my only important complaint, the trackpad second.

the base seats are the most important thing to me, i don't like the bolstering on the sport ones. must have the HUD, it's awesome. i'd prefer the LSD, which you can get without the performance package. re: the performance package, i've driven them with and without and i'm ambivalent. seems kind of pricey for an incremental difference IMO. also, if ANYTHING is gonna break and be a fortune to fix someday, i bet it would be the rear wheel steering assist...

One of my best friends sells used cars, and I've bought a bunch through the years from him. He couldn't match the dealer trade, figuring they might get more for the car in the big city. We're from Havasu.
