Miles of thread now (for a few months at least) but I followed an LC500 through town earlier this week. Goodness me it's a terrific thing.

Pencil me in for one in 2028. Gassed.

I adore them too. I've not yet seen one in the wild, I popped in to Lexus Sheffield to have an up close look a few months ago. They 've nailed it IMO, and I suspect in 10 years you'll be able to get one for £15-20k? It shall be worth every penny.

£68k at the moment. Halved every 3 years, it'll be £8.5k in 2027. That'll do.

(I suspect that generally reliable-ish rule of thumb won't be perfectly accurate on the LC, but we'll see)

ETA: Charles! He's done it again!!!

Oh FFS!

Honestly, it's just how I speak, thinking about it, I actually use it too much in speak IRL too....

I've not seen one yet but it looks pretty good on the YouTube video review I saw.

Respect for not using 'Best Colour Combo!!!' in the ad (although it is, IMO).

Looks good Josh. I have a feeling the P38 is coming of age. It's gone through the awkward years and one like yours looks really good. Hope you get a good sale to a decent buyer.

Were I to win the lottery this evening, it is a LC500 that I should buy.

I think it is pretty much the only new car for which I feel any desire at all.

Perhaps I shall buy one in a few years' time.

I hope there is sufficient linguistic bingo in this post to keep you busy for a while to come.

Unusual colour, sensible miles, Contis all round and plenty of buttons in the back. Ad is rubbish but the whole package carries a tempting whiff of painstaking elderly ownership. £2,995.

I know what you mean. I've got one of those mentally put aside for when they're down to about £35K.

This is the highlight of my life to date. I texted my dad... He even replied... Must be good.

Any more thoughts about the next Loser Conference? Anyone... anyone...

And rightly so! Great write up!

I'd be up for a losers conference, north of England/borders would be ideal but I suspect I'm in the minority there.

I like that. Great colours, wasn't there a similar car which had been very nicely detailed on some Monoblocks which looked fabulous?

No tin worn by the looks of it and it's a nice colour combo, plenty of wafty goodness.

It's an excellent museum but has no car park.
