  • I take a look at two 2024 Lexus RCFs in today's video. Base price starts at $68,295. One in Infrared the other in Ultra White both include the following package, individual options, & accessories:
    Premium Package $6,375
    Premium Audio Package $2,725
    All Weather Package $130
    Orange Metallic Brembo Brakes $300
    Power Moonroof $1,100
    Triple-Beam LED Headlamps $1,160
    Illuminated Door Sills $450
    I'll own another RCF someday, but I'm not ready to pay $81K especially with high interest rates and no discounts offered. I'll wait for a used 2022 - 2023 with low miles. Thank you for watching and remember to leave a comment. I appreciate the feedback.

    Being an owner of a 2016 RCF CF/TVD (originally retailed for $96K CAD or about $89K USD). I bought it mildly used. Totally worth it especially with the TVD and carbon fiber (at least, to me it has been totally worth it).

      Hey bro after several weeks of thinking about it, my past comments aside. I’m really thinking about getting either one of the remaining 2024 allocations available or put myself on the 2025 wait list.

      @@orlandojacinto1 Glad to hear that bro. It is definitely a lot of fun. I am sure you will really love getting back into an RCF. Though, your last RCF had TVD, you can now only get LSD even with the carbon package. Not sure if you care much for the TVD. The newer RCFs also lack a few features your 2016 had l,ike memory seats, ambient lighting and the shock tower brace has been removed in the 2023+ RCFs. There are so good changes as well like the 2020+ updates, big screen, the lug nuts are now some stronger type of material that makes them more rigid etc.

    I have a 2015 RC F w/the performance pack, TVD and all the good stuff in Infrared. I wanted white until we drove up to Santa Fe New Mexico and test drove a red one. It was dirty and gorgeous at the same time. That red with the carbon fiber top stands up! An awesome ride. Orlando, I purchased mine a few days after you purchased your first RC F. Happy hunting for another one.

    Just got back from a Lexus dealer looking at an 2024 RC-F. But taxes and some BS dealer options pushed the OTD price of the car in the low 90s. I asked them if they could remove some of the dealer options (options were not installed, but said it was mandatory for me to buy them) so I didn't pull the trigger. Also, the car was not in the color that I wanted.

    • @orlandojacinto1
      @orlandojacinto1  3 месяца назад +1

      Experienced same BS at my local dealership. Dealer add-ons are priced in. Won’t even work with me for custom build configuration with a base RCF that is on the factory floor. I’m going to wait later this year or early next year to try again. There should be a cut in interest rates and I’m saving to put more money down to have a lower monthly payment.

      @@orlandojacinto1 I also asked if I could special order and they told me that all allocations for all dealerships are done for this year and that this is the last year of the RC-F. Sounds like BS to me, but I don't think anybody knows right now if they will continue with a 2025 MY. Lexus did make changes to the RC-F for the 2023 MY so I would think they would carry over for at least another year.

      @aerovaportrail1392 3 месяца назад

      Mandatory? Right, BS! Lexus has always been proud of their cars.They are trying to get every dime they can before they roll up production and people are trying to get one. I tried to get a 430 GS and the dealer would not work with me at all. I asked how much would I have to put down for a $500 payment? He said about 15k. Dealerships still suck.

    • @2ZZGE100
      @2ZZGE100 2 месяца назад +1

      RCF is a performance car while LC500 IS luxury GT. RCF is 400 lbs lighter, smaller, stiffer and has track oriented cooling systems that LC does not. If you were to look at driving exhilaration and performance, RCF runs circles around it, but LC500 is much more luxurious, soft suspension and comfortable
