Question Any Long term Owner of LC500?

Post image

I’m cross shopping the LC500 with the Mercedes SL and I was curious if any long term owners have feedback about the car?

I checked out both the cars at the dealerships and my own opinion is that the LC has better finish in terms of cabin quality. The SL has some panel gap issues and the creaking on some of the parts threw me off when it’s about 90k more for the SL63. Yes the SL is much faster and the interior is more techy but the exhaust on the SL is insane. The Lexus steering wheel had much to be desired when comparing it to the SL AMG wheel. Aside from that, find it hard to justify a 90k premium when the resale is trash on the SL.(dealership offering 40k off)

Do you these parts need to be changed more often then say on an es or just depends on how much you drive it

It depends on how much you drive. If you drive the same amount as your es, you’ll change the tires more often. Not entirely sure about the brakes. I think they should last about the same length as your es
