LC500 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Lexus LC 500 is a big grand-touring coupe, and 2026 is its last model year. Lexus is ending the car after this run, so this page treats it as a final-model-year purchase: what it cost when new, and what to expect from the stock that remains.

Because the car is out of production, any new LC 500 you find is a leftover, and the used market is the only way to buy one after that. The figures below are the original prices, not a guarantee of what a dealer will charge today.

MotorTrend lists the Coupe at $103,400 and the Convertible at $110,900, both with destination included. Those are the totals closest to a window sticker.

Carscoops reports the starting MSRP before destination. The Coupe starts at $101,700, and the Convertible starts at $109,200. Subtract these from the previous set and you get the delivery charge. Keep the two sets apart when comparing quotes, because dealers sometimes advertise one and bill the other.

Lexus built a limited Inspiration Series for the final year. The package costs $10,950 on top of the base car.

CarPro reviewed a 2026 LC 500 Inspiration Series convertible, as tested. That car's total MSRP with transportation came to $120,370. The phrase "as tested" matters here: it is the price of one particular car with its specific options, not a standard trim price. A car with different options will have a different total.

For the 2025 model year, the Coupe was $101,100 and the Convertible was $108,300, both with destination included. Both 2026 prices are higher than the 2025 prices.

When a model ends, buyers often ask whether prices will rise or fall. Neither is guaranteed. A final-year special can hold value because the car is no longer built, and a dealer with leftover stock may be willing to negotiate. The only way to know is to compare actual listings.

• Ask what is in stock. Production has ended, so dealers cannot order more.
• Check the options. Special editions and colors can be scarce.
• Compare quotes. Ask two or three dealers for out-the-door prices.
• Get the window sticker. It shows the true MSRP with transportation.

A used LC 500 from an earlier year is the other route. Prices vary with mileage, condition, and year, so check several listings and use a pricing guide. Get a vehicle history report and an independent inspection. A Lexus certified pre-owned program, if one applies, adds warranty protection that you should read in full.

The Convertible costs more than the Coupe by the difference shown above. You get open-air driving, with practical trade-offs such as extra weight and less cargo flexibility. If you drive in hot or wet climates, think about how often you would actually put the top down.

Insurance for a grand tourer depends on your record, location, and the car's value. Tires and brakes cost more than on a typical sedan. Lexus has a strong record for service support, but ask your dealer about maintenance coverage and warranty terms.

Lexus Financial Services, banks, and credit unions all offer loans. Rates depend on credit and term, and used-car loans can be priced differently from new-car loans. A licensed financial professional can help you choose between a loan and a lease.
