2018 LC 500 coupe in white, for 73k. Big caveat, he had a 60,000 dollar accident on this thing. But note, those CFRP doors are like 20k each, and the trunk lid is like 10k as well so 60k is easily achieved.
Plus hes open to offers, so if you get it for i dont know.... 60k, thats a pretty solid deal for a lc500.

It's 6-10k for the swap, by no means a cheap swap and I'm not sure it's worth it on a 170k example.

No way the swap costs that much. You could do it for like sub 3k. Still not worth it on that car though imo.

I was quoted 5-6k by a BMW mechanic during covid, there's actually a lot of parts that needs to be ordered, and I said 6-10k because it could only have gone up from then.
You can probably get away for less if you do your own work. I have hands of stone and cannot do anything without breaking stuff. Also a 200k car you're bound to find seized bolts and all manner of things that need replacing as you dig in.

Maybe this one is better ... slightly higher kms at 191K kms, true manual (saves you the hassle of a $5K conversion), same price. https://www.facebook.com/share/1FuYo4rxCs/

Im on the LC clublexus forums and this guy just posted this. seems pretty clean.. 46k USD = 64k canadian + taxes fees and shit i thinking around 75k? is that a good deal? meh not really i guess.. but still cheaper than any LC around here. Although 2018 is the worst one to get... you dont even have apple car play / android auto. It has to be retrofitted through a software update, and it occasionally causes the whole thing to brick... then you gotta shell out 10k for a new ECU. Also 2018 has the harshest suspension and probably the worst gearbox programming. They've revised the suspension tuning and gearbox software every year, but the consensus is that anything past 2021 is pretty good while having the balance between firmness and comfort for the suspension and smooth shifts.
Edit: SOMEBODY GO BUY A FUCKING LC !!!! why am I the only idiot on RS with one? ...... oh...

^if you dont mind looking in the states, there are some getting close to that range in the US, but after importation and what not, it might be a huge headache.
Locally these damn things are holding their value insanely well.

Lexus/Toyota make it easy to import. Perform necessary recalls, get a recall letter from Toyota/Lexus, and work with a broker/transport company to haul it through. Make the necessary modifications to meet RIV/safety requirements, Canadian Tire check, and insure. European marques make life a lot more difficult.
Having said all that, after currency conversion and everything, you have to be really sure this is the car you absolutely must have.
