Lexus LC value and depreciation
Known for halo grand tourer, v8 then hybrid.
Projected value of a new Lexus LC
We class the Lexus LC as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 54% after three years and 37% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.
