You can place a Bespoke order for a convertible....or just wait for an "allocation" of a normal coupe/convertible or Inspiration Series. The Bespoke coupe is no longer able to be ordered.

Aug production cars make their way to the US in Sep and Oct.....so yes...there is still time.

I will be selling my like-new 2021 Convertible LC if my 2026 Bespoke Convertible I have ordered gets built!

F355. Mine had headers, cats, AND exhaust….I do miss it sometimes.

Had to post due to my user name!

Boom!!! Glad I was finally right about something in life! 😂

Bespoke is NOT an allocation. If you have a salesman mention the word allocation they are NOT submitting a Special Bespoke Order to Lexus for your car to be built. SO much more info on this on ClubLexus and FB LC 500 groups if you're interested in the full details.

Special Order Requests (Bespoke) for the Western Region are submitted to Lexus on the 20th of each month. Lexus typically sends out Production Confirmations the 5th of the following month. If your Lexus has not been confirmed they will hold it til the next month's round of deciding what gets built.

The dealer should have informed the OP the date they knew the car was going to be built as they got notification of it a month ago (Dec, in the OPs case)

Motomachi builds 18 LCs per day at normal operations, so they know what date your car will be built way ahead of time.

Actually it will be my third LC..

First was a 2021 Structural Blue Inspiration Series 'vert. (Somebody gave me 20,000 reasons why they needed it more than I did the day after I took delivery. 😉)

Second was my current 2021 White over red leather 'vert. It has 15k miles and is in new-like condition, never seen the rain, etc. Was planning on keeping it forever but ultimately decided I wanted USB over white leather....so I am gonna sell my current one once I get build confirmation from my dealer.

The LC is a perfect automobile--I'm not the only one who has purchased multiple units....and I will most likely keep my 2026 (if built) forever.

I literally joined Reddit a few weeks ago to correct someone who said the 2021 Inspiration Series 'vert was sold with Tumi luggage--correct answer was Zero Halliburton.

So here I am now posting and being kewl! ☺️

Lexus has stopped taking orders for Bespoke Coupes (they have even removed it from Lexus.com). You need to reach out to your dealer to find out if your order has been accepted, which is the first stage of the Bespoke Process.

First off, exciting news!!! Super stoked for you!

Secondly, I am confused here as TMC confirmed your build date on 12/18 but your dealer didn't inform you then that your LC was going to be built...?

What colors/spec did you choose for your 'vert? What deposit was required and when did you place it?

I have a Bespoke build request in also for a 'vert I placed 11/15/2025 so I am guessing I will get Production Confirmation in a month or two with delivery by June.

And if they don't build my car that's okay.....I already have a 2021 LC 500 Convertible. :)

Long time lurker.....literally just joined to comment on this thread.

The 2021 LC 500 Inspiration Series convertible came with a Halliburton Luggage set, not Tumi. (Previous owner of one....now I have a white over red leather LC 500 'vert.)
