We got our first LC in on Monday evening and sold it yesterday morning. Sticker was just under $103k. Pictured next to it is the trade-in, a one-owner 1999 SC300 with 147k miles
Not sure if I like the looks of the LC. Driving characteristics may change that if I were behind the wheel, though.
NAiL05 drove it and said while the TC is very aggressive, you can still feel the tail wanting to hang out and it wouldn't take much to do so. He enjoyed it though; fun car.
The front end and most front angles of the LC are solid... However, the rear end bugs me. and, I don't see myself ever getting over that. A bunch of elements and designs that feel like they aren't working together.
why tf would you trade in your original SC too..
what a nimrod
My co-worker just traded a great-condition SC that was owned by a Toyota executive in for an, admittedly, very clean 2000 LX. Still giving him some crap for it because that SC was a beauty.
I just can't imagine Lexus giving him some great trade-in offer..
You're buying a 100k ride.. does a ~2k off really beat the value of having an originally owned SC?
I guess the only thing I can figure is the owner doesn't want multiple rides..
and they're too lazy to sell it to some douche who is going to try to turn it into a supra..
But end up being some chrome nightmare.. probably.
My co-worker owns a pristine LX of that gen.. I called it a Land Cruiser once..
That trade, I wouldn't mind.

I agree. They looks so good sitting next to each other in the picture. I would want to pick up the second gen one as well to have in the middle of it. Have the complete set in the garage you know.

14 sets of tires per year on that Murcielago. My God. Same with brakes. 8 clutches. Holy shit...
I met a guy last weekend who manages a Discount Tire in the Domain (a yuppie part of Austin). Apparently he gets multiple clients who spend $2500 a year on Tesla tires. Apparently they drive so quickly and the car is so damn heavy they just burn up the 21 inch tires immediately.
