Amazing Value

Few cars on the road today look as amazing as the Lexus LC. And their price tag somewhat reflects this supercar aura, as they starts out at just a hair under $100,000. But those who waited to add Lexus' latest halo car to their garage are currently being handsomely rewarded. There are now used LCs out there on the market for as little as $60,000, which is an amazing bargain for a car like this.

Rolling the Dice?

Even better, most of the cars we came across for sale have less than 30,000 miles on the clock. Thus, they're barely broken in. Of course, these are private party sales. If you want to step up to a certified pre-owned LC, expect to pay a bit more, but not a lot. We found a few COP LCs selling in the mid to upper $60k range.

Rare Sight

For that small outlay of cash, you're getting one of the best looking vehicles on the road today, bar none. And since there aren't a lot of LCs running around, you're bound to draw even more attention. A lot of people still don't even know what these cars are, which makes for crowds of curious onlookers everywhere you go.

Competent Performer

Of course, the LC is a competent performer but is more of a grand touring cruiser than race winner. It has a pleasing, naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter 2UR-GSE V8 engine, which produces 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. And it's also rear-wheel-drive, all of which is a combination you see less and less of these days.

Nothing Earth-Shattering

Since the LC is a bit heavy at its 4,258-pound curb weight, that translates to a 0-60 time of around 4.8 seconds. Nothing earth-shattering, but decent nonetheless. But you probably won't care when you're driving around town drawing stares from people who probably think you're a celebrity or oil tycoon of some sort.

Road Tripper

Then there's the LC's amazing interior, which is equal parts beautiful, comfortable, and luxurious. A lot of thoughtful design went into this cabin, and it's easy to see. This is a car that you'll want to take on long road trips to extract the most enjoyment out of it, that's for sure.

Highly Appealing

For shoppers in the $60k range who want a car that punches way above its price tag, it's certainly hard to beat the LC. Sure, you can buy faster cars for that kind of money. But they won't be able to match the head-turning appeal or silky-smooth comfort the LC has to offer.
