I know not exactly apples to apples but the question is more regarding $50,000 for the value added in the In The Z versus all the amenities in the LC and whether it’s really worth another 50 K?

$100k Cayman Gt4 instead of Lc500. Then It'd be a difficult decision against $50k Z

it's actually sad that some dealers have added adm's on the proto that some are approaching the $100k mark...

Well, they have one thing in common.....

They're both overweight and outperformed by their German counterparts!

But, the Lexus will be the one to own 20+ years down the road...it'll retain value much better because it'll likely hold up better over time.

I am in the same frame of mind these days. I am not considering the Supra but the Lexus and Porsche are possibilities. At one point the Z was the clear winner but with the price now at 90k ~ish it makes it hard to justify.

I am back to a wait and see game to see if the prices balance out once the other trims arrive.

I've seen some LC's on Autotrader in the 60-70k neighborhood. Average or less miles on the clock.

Not to mention in 20 years people will have the Z so clapped out it’ll be scrapin’ as it’s pulling in your nearest gas station. All the 350’s in my area are hot trash.

Buyers of the LC500 are generally older rich buyers who would keep the car stock and not beat the heck out of it. The LC500 is a little too "country clubbish" for me.
