Frequently asked questions

How much does a used Lexus LC500 / LC500h cost in Japan?

Roughly $45,000–$125,000 FOB at Japanese auction for 2017–2026 examples (estimate, as of 2026-07-01). Generation, auction grade and mileage decide where a car falls in that range. Shipping, insurance, duty and local taxes are added on top.

Does the LC500 / LC500h come right-hand drive from Japan?

Japan drives on the left, so Japanese-market examples of the Lexus LC500 / LC500h are right-hand drive. Check that your country accepts right-hand-drive imports before you buy. We do not convert steering.

Is the LC500 / LC500h available from Japan's auctions?

Usually, yes. Japan's auction houses, of which USS is the largest network, sell tens of thousands of used cars every week, and a licensed member can read each car's auction sheet before bidding. The number of LC500 / LC500h cars listed varies from week to week.
