White is the best car color.

My Lexus LC500 2 year review!

Sweet vid. How long you lived in SLC? I lived there pretty much my whole life and just moved to AZ last year. So I know Utah very well You buy it at Ferrari next to the Benz dealership downtown? I actually drove to AZ to buy my LC because Utah didn't have any either

Thanks! Yes, I've been here a while and indeed bought it from Ferrari of Salt Lake downtown. I had been in conversation with an AZ dealer on a black one. Small world!

Happy Anniversary! White is not one of my favs but your’s looks real good. You seem to have a gift for this stuff. Excellent presentation and outstanding ‘Salesmanship’. I am curious to know what you do for a living? Do you do your own editing? Very professional. Appreciated some of your ‘tight shots’ where you demonstrated the prowesses of the LC. You’ve gotten 2 very happy years in and I bet you will get plenty more. Congrats!

Thanks kindly, I appreciate the feedback! Total amateur here and yes, I do it all myself including the editing. It's all for fun as I am semi-retired ;-)

Great video!!

There's something i was wondering about though...when you cycled through the seat ventilation fan speeds, it went 1 then 2 then 3 then off and back to 1. Did I see that right? Because on my '22 it goes 1-2-3-AUTO- Off.

So it looks like lexus implemented automatic seat fan settings in some later year. I thought it always had this auto setting, come to think about it now it makes sense why early year owners were so upset about needing to go into the menus to adjust the seat fans and I was thinking "whats the big deal, why not just set it to auto and let it do it's thing?"

Good catch! My 2018 doesn't have "Auto" in the switch pattern, but if you go to the Concierge screen and select that, the "auto" light lights up on the main screen. Looks like they incorporated it in the newer ones.

Thanks kindly! I'm about to turn 40k on it. Bought it at 22.5k miles. Not one single issue with the car. No CEL's or anything. Just the occasional nail in the tire or so.

I've owned many Toyotas in my time and currently have three others (2 Land Cruisers and a Tundra), as we all know they last forever. My Tundra has 198k on it, and my 96 FZJ80 has 168K.

Great review - really highlights the special aspects of the LC.

Unfortunately Lexus as a brand has not done much to promote it or update it since 2018.
