I am looking to buy a used RC F. I have found a 2015 MP that was first sold late 2014. Is there any issues with these early production cars? The car has ~30k miles 2 owners but looks immaculate and brakes/rotors and tires have 5k miles on them and all services done on time at Lexus. The options are ML, Premium(obviously), TVD but no carbon fiber, and 20-Spoke. What is a good price for this assuming PPI comes back fine?

 

Paid 37k for mine w carbon roof tvd n premium package 6 months ago. Clean car fax with 52k miles. EX. condition. Think yours should be around the same price, may be more since yours have lower miles but without the carbon roof.
Molten pearl is pretty rare n draws attention everywhere . Still got compliments all the time.

 

Anywhere from $34,000 to $44,000 seems reasonable.

Anyhow, I believe there were issues with the rear wing getting suck in the raised position in very few early 2015 model year cars. Generally, its not too much of an issue. They never offered a recall for it, and it was a fairly minor issue. Not a lot of people had it.

Also, you should check the CARFAX and see if it had the HPFP recall done to it. That was a little bit of a problem in the pre-2017 cars, as they had slightly cheaper casings for the HPFPs which would crack over time.

The TVD's have been shown to have a great lifespan and they are fairly reliable, the engine and transmission are also very good (besides the issue of the valley plate leak, which generally occurs quite a while into the cars life, there is an investigation going on to as if the valley plate issue is still prevalent in the newer F cars)

 

The car you are looking at is a high-spec car with almost all options except the carbon fiber package (TVD was ordered stand-alone in the first batch of the 2015 RCF). The mileage is pretty low at 30K miles. Also, you said it has a lot of brakes and tire left. Make sure, the tires are proper high performance summer tires and not some cheap cr*p tires as many second hand RCF sometimes have. That will be something that will be need to replaced and should be a negotiation item. Also, Molten Pearl was an extra cost option in the 2015 and 2016.

Based on all of that, at least $40K - $44K. I would not expect high-30s as usually that is how much earlier RCFs with low mileage and mint condition go for these days. Molten Pearl is an amazing color. To say it turns heads, is an understatement especially with how the RCF design is.

 

If you like the MP jump on it, hard to find period not to mention one in good shape and with ML.
