Common Lexus Lc500 problems
The Lexus LC500 is a luxury sports coupe that has been praised for its design and performance. However, as with any vehicle, there are certain issues that have been reported by owners. Here are some of the common problems with the Lexus LC500 based on complaints from owners:
- Passenger Side Door Panel
Some owners have reported that the passenger side door panel in their LC500 has become unglued. This can be a cosmetic issue, but it can also affect the functionality of the door panel.
- Steering Wheel Wear
The steering wheel in the LC500 has been reported to wear prematurely. This can be caused by the driver gripping the wheel too tightly or by the leather used in the wheel not being durable enough.
- Seat Bolster Wear
The seat bolsters in the LC500 have also been reported to wear prematurely. This can be caused by the driver sitting in the same position for extended periods of time, leading to wear on the bolsters.
It's important to note that not all LC500 owners have experienced these issues, and some may have had their cars repaired under warranty. However, these are some of the common problems that have been reported by owners of the Lexus LC500.
Is the LC 500 a good car?
The 2024 Lexus LC 500 may not be a simple pleasure, given its high cost, but it's not a complex one. It is, at the very least, simple pleasure-adjacent. This is not a complicated Japanese supercar-killer like a Nissan GT-R, or even a hard-nosed sports car like the Porsche 911.
How many miles will an LC 500 last?
Since 2019, Matt Pridemore has been daily driving his LC 500 and in 2024, it will cross the 200,000-mile (~322,000 km) mark, having already passed 150,000 miles (241,000 km) in March this year.
Can you daily drive a Lexus LC 500?
Because it's it's more inconvenient I can't go over speed bumps. And all that sort of stuff yeah it looks amazing but it I wouldn't be able to drive that yeah I'm gonna tear that off in a minute.
How long does Lexus LC last?
In general, cars from this luxury brand can easily last 250,000 to 300,000 miles. While cars from other brands can last for around 150,000 miles, a Lexus can double that estimation and allows drivers to push the absolute limit of the vehicle's longevity before a replacement is necessary.

Update for July 2018: Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with the car after having it for a year. I must say, it just keeps getting better and better! I absolutely adore this car as a daily driver and road-tripper. The highway mileage is so good it seems fake, I'm easily getting 30 mpg when cruising in Eco mode. And have you heard the engine scream in Sport+ mode? It never gets old! I just can't get enough of it. After a year, I expected to have buyer's remorse or a wandering eye for other cars, but no. The LC 500 is a car that just grows on you and still turns heads. It's like having a supermodel as your daily driver!*** The car has outstanding visual appeal inside and out, but I must admit, the acceleration is a bit disappointing. However, I highly recommend going for the bespoke option, even though it's a 3-month wait. Neither the touring nor sport packages give you the correct combination of options. Here's the combination you want, starting from bone-stock, in order of importance: 1. Limited Slip Differential (LSD), 2. Convenience Package, 3. Heads Up Display (HUD). Done. All other packages and options actually worsen the car's performance. Or they package excellent options (like the retractable spoiler) with unnecessary ones (like Variable Gear-Ratio steering). Basically, you want the LSD to correct the flaws in the drivetrain. The stock, active, rear open-differential loses too much horsepower at the wheels. The LSD is mechanical: more horsepower, more traction. With the stock differential, you have to pay attention when you're kicking the tail loose. It's still fun, but the LSD gives you +HP +control. It's a no-brainer option there. The Convenience Package gives you parking assist, which is a must-have. The dimensions of the car make it difficult to park, but parking assist will save you, again and again. Get it, save your body work, and make parking garages your best friend. Option 3, the HUD, is just plain cool!The car is equipped with an unintentional safety feature that keeps your eyes focused at near-driving distance. Additionally, it displays the song you've cued up from your phone via Bluetooth. After the engine break-in, you can get the dealer to fix the rev limiter to 7,300rpm, which is limited to 7,000rpm off the lot. Although the peak horsepower is at 7,100rpm, the rev limiter is ruining the fun. I would not recommend getting the hybrid version as the 33% savings in mileage is not worth it. Instead, I suggest getting a Tesla or a BMW i8. The car looks twice as expensive as it costs and provides a true opulent experience for the senses. The ride quality is Lexus smooth and the steering feedback is excellent in bone stock configuration. It is a masterpiece of emotional driving that makes you want to drive forever. However, it is slower than a Roush Mustang 427 because the LC 500 drivetrain is not designed for performance and handles like a Challenger SRT8 due to its weight. Additionally, it costs more than a BMW M4 and has out-of-touch infotainment controls. If you are looking for a dream car that gives you an emotional response, then the LC 500 is the perfect choice for you. However, if you do not feel this way after seeing it, then it may not be the right car for you. Personally, I have a transcendental experience every time I drive the LC 500, but I understand that it may not be for everyone. The configuration reviewed was the Black on black V8 with the Convenience Package, All-Weather Package, Touring Package, and Heads Up Display.

I bought my LC500 in May and it has been such a joy to drive! The style, quality build and performance are all fantastic. I have absolutely no regrets and I'm looking forward to enjoying this car for many years to come.

What an amazing vehicle! As an owner of both a Mark IV and a GS, I was eagerly anticipating the release of the new Mark V Supra. However, after carefully evaluating the New Supra versus the LC 500, I decided to keep my Mark IV and purchase the LC 500. Regardless of the success and hype surrounding the new Supra, I believe I made the correct choice. This car is truly amazing! From the moment you drive it, be prepared for the attention it gets until you park it. It even gets attention at the dealership! I have never been to the OEM’s service department and had people from sales to service, including marketing, asking to photograph an automobile they sell! The drive is truly special, with absolute power. The interior is palatial in comfort and appointment, and the technology is impressive. It’s a total package, a five-tool athlete in the automotive market that looks like a supermodel! Thank you, Lexus, for flipping the narrative of being boring. Your effort with the RC was a great attempt, and your LFA was an out-of-this-world success that is mostly unattainable. And now, you have managed to combine greatness and attainability perfectly. Way to go!

Best looking and touring car I have driven or been in! I prefer the handling of a car over an SUV, but my wife prefers the height and comfort of her SUV. Whenever we used to go somewhere together, she would prefer we take her Cayenne over my GS F-Sport. Now, it's 'let's take the LC!' The LC is truly in a class of its own in the touring coupe category. It's long on luxury inside and out, and even the feel of the relationship between the car, driver, and road is luxurious! Yet, the sound and performance of the naturally aspirated V-8 still confirms what you see getting into this beauty - that it is a special and rare beast.

I also own one! I was influenced by Savagegeese and other YouTubers, as well as the stunning design - it's definitely one of the best-looking cars out there. And let's not forget about the engine sound - who needs infotainment when you have that? It's plenty fast on straight roads, but unfortunately doesn't handle curves as well as it looks. The car's weight and inertia are a physical reality that can't be cancelled out by stability controls or limited slip differential. As a result, it doesn't instill confidence on twisty roads.
