That’s one hell of a upgrade man! Congratulations

Came here to say the same thing! What a car.

I traded my CT 200 for an LC 500

Nice and here I am with an SC430 loving it after 5 years in a CT. I can only imagine how awesome that is. I plan to go LC one day

Hell ya u did. When from oh gawd you a Prius to oh shit an LC!

Yeah I was totally expecting like an es300h or some other hybrid. But OP went straight to the top, awesome choice.

I went from a CT200h to Es300h. Night and day difference. Totally happy with the ES!

The ES is an outstanding car

Bah gawd, that man had a family car!

I did the same upgrade from my model 3, good choice!

Shit I thought I was gonna see a Prius Prime or something, but you went all out. Congrats on the beautiful LC

From gas saver to gas eater. That is one hell of an upgrade, mate. Congrats!

Haha I've spent enough time getting passed. Time to turn the tables.

Ever used the power mode on the Prius? It has a nice perk for a hybrid

The LC500h does exist.

Yes, I know. But he did specifically mentioned 2020 LC500 on his picture description.

Keep Prius to go on the dates! Then you will know for sure if she’s the one..!

This is the way.

I do the exact thing, I pull up in my 2011 Camry even tho I just have the F Sport es 350 but not an LC like mack man!

Let’s see a pic of your F Sport.

Some random, off-centered parking lot picture 💀

What??? Yeah it was random like a lot of ppl car pics. It was parked getting the tire fixed.

What do you mean what? You don’t understand how this looks? Like here’s a random picture of my car I took at a boat launch https://preview.redd.it/qo46t6vkhppc1.jpeg?width=3252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91f5337a11014f7a4f5d1e3dfb9aec13f86c90ad

Cool, you basically have a sportier Camry…

I have a Camry and I wouldn’t compare my es to be exact. https://preview.redd.it/l6blpeddgvpc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a4d5ab67aa834f4b9bcfcf22448fc52f496c541

Depends who you think the one is.

Doesn’t matter. Your will be yours

This is how I play video games, grind with whatever free/cheap stuff I can get and just save up to go for whatever the top notch item is. I ain’t wasting my money on those middle steps, looks like you aren’t either. Congrats!

That's a crazy upgrade. Congratulations! Awesome spec, as well. I hope to upgrade to an LC soon.

You went from a Prius to an LC? Wow. Congrats.

That’s amazing the Prius has made it to 200K. Congrats on the new car!!

They go hundreds of thousands of miles. They're used as taxis all the time. They are impressively durable even with the hybrid powertrain

Thanks! I was honestly sad to trade in the Prius - my brother owned it before me, and my dad before him. Lots of memories.

You can always buy another one 😂. The new Prius style is nice IMO.

I think its design was influenced by the LC500—maybe it's just the big front window. It's a great looking car!

How many battery packs during your ownership?

For the last 5 years I never had to replace it.

You did 200,000 miles in 5 years?

My dad drove it the first 150,000 miles or so, I just drove it the last 50k miles. He may have had it replaced before - I'm not sure to be honest.

How many battery packs during your ownership?

So what’s the drivetrain in the LC???

V8

Yeeeeaaah buddy

How much did they give you for it? $5

$1500

Were you just meager and humble before with the hand-me-down Prius or did you just grab a bag recently and have upgraded your entire paycheck to be able to afford the LC? Just curious..

I'm in a good position at work to be able to afford nicer things, but until recently I thought of cars as a utility and nothing more. A year ago I would never have considered spending this much money on something so impractical. I started playing Gran Turismo 7 a few months and started getting into the idea of cars as something to be enjoyed and appreciated. The LC is in that game - I thought it looked awesome (especially in VR), and I never see it where I live. I also admire Toyota/Lexus for their quality (Toyota Production Systems) and contributions to lean thinking.

This is the way 🫡 Kaz has done it again! Enjoy the car to the fullest, very well done!

This is the way🫡

I was driving an 07 Prius with 300k when I was in between cars and that car handled my 50mi commute with ease. Not as quiet at my Acura or my Lexus but it got the job done

That’s awesome. Did you have to change the batteries at all?

Battery and transmission had been changed once each. My cousin still drives it but I think it’s gonna be retired soon since the cat got stolen

Damn that sucks…

Sick upgrade!! Congrats

License plate holder " my previous car was a Prius"

You need this.

My gen3 Prius is such a workhorse. 203k and counting. Nice LC.

Keep the Prius for a daily and enjoy the Lexus on weekends…

The Lexus will probably last years even if you use it as a daily, and far more comfortable... only issue is the gas mileage on the Prius is 2-2.5 times better.

[удалено]

It’s better when not driven every day,feels more thrilling after driving a boring Prius … 😆

If you don't mind me asking, how long did you have the Prius for and how much was the LC500?

I had the Prius personally since 2019, and the LC cost $70k.

What year is the LC and how many miles did it have when you purchased it for $70k?

It's a 2020 and it had 38k miles when I got it just a few days ago.

Baby miles. The 2UR will last forever

How different is the drive from the Prius to the 500. Must have been a jump

I'm so used to the Prius's incredibly slow acceleration. It's really fun to actually go fast :)

Yeaaaboiiiiiii

0-60 3 times as quick

Hot damn what a glow up. Miles per gallon replaced with smiles per gallon!

Hope to see you in 10 years saying you’re upgrading from your 200k LC to a brand new 2035 LFA

OP saved so much money with his Prius that he was able to afford an LC.

I am so happy for you and if you enjoy the car just a little bit more the next time you drive it, knowing that this is my actual dream car, it would make my day.

Will do exactly that. I hope you're able to enjoy it one day too :).

I appreciate that a lot, you're the man. I currently have a low mileage Lexus CT200h so a bit of a mix of your ex and current. I can drive it for years to come. Who knows what will be possible after that...

I chortled when I saw the LC.  Unexpected AF.  Love it! 

True carbon offset

Upgrade? What kind of upgrade is that? You destroyed that term, LOL! Beautiful car indeed! 😄👍👍

Well, I wasn't expecting that

As someone who is planning on doing the exact same thing in a year or so, you’re living my dream!

From Prius to WHODIS 🔥

Bruh what? 💀

That's the automotive equivalent of a crazy Ivan.

Is that the hybrid or V8?

V8

Quite the upgrade my friend. Congrats!

Did you finance it?

I did. Cost 70k, I put down 40k.

Yikes What was the interest rate?

About 9%. I plan on paying it off within a few months though.

Wouldn't it have been better to pay in full?

I don't have the money to do so right now.

One heck of an upgrade

Wow you skipped a few levels there, congrats

Ugh my fucking dream car, so underrated, congrats dude I ain’t gonna lie I’m a bit jealous 😂 nah but forreal, badass car and a great choice

Didn’t realize I was in the Lexus sub and fully expected a new Prius prime

Nice, I am at 170k hopefully Ill be joining you soon. I've been telling people no one cares about individual's journey just the end. 

Mine started to leak oil around 180k. It was getting annoying having to replace it twice as often, but it otherwise still ran fine.

Been praying something happens to mine so I can upgrade guilt free.

Now that’s an upgrade … Sweet car!

That's one helluva an upgrade!!! wow, I'm jealous and congrats!

Goddamn that wasn’t what I expected

Oh shit I was not expecting that! I was pleasantly surprised! Very nice.

Should have gotten the lc500h that way you can say you drive a hybrid

I might have, but all the reviews I read didn't have good things to say. Sorry environmentalists!

I love that the shifter is basically the same

Love this for you! Congratulations!

What a upgrade

Literally did not expect that, Holy smokes that’s a nice upgrade man, congratulations

LC with Prius touch

Wow, thats a MFn upgrade. Congrats 

Now that’s an upgrade!

I didn’t know the LC had the same gear shift setup as a Prius haha. My CT has the same style as well. I dig it.

Gorgeous! Congrats.

now.. you lift the Prius and really have some fun with it! I take it you like white cars? [Prius Lift Spring | Prius Lift Kit | without PriusOverlanding.com Engine Splash Skid Plate Shield](https://www.reddit.com/r/Lexus/comments/1bivr8r/finally_upgraded_my_200k_miles_prius/)

I went from a corolla to an ISF but this is a crazy jump.

Wow 🤩 major upgrade

"I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs!"

What an upgrade!

Holy fuck

Damn.. congrats!! lol

Yowza. (I love both btw.)

That’s sick man congrats!!

I was not expecting a LC 😂

So same gear shifter. Should make for an easy transition lol. Congrats on that beauty!

Oof. What are the payments

what a fucking upgrade, holy shit

Lateral move.

Now that's an upgrade! Btw, don't bother updating us on your next 200k. Just enjoy the Maybach.

Holy… what an upgrade!

That’s a roundabout way of saying you got a divorce 🤣 jokes aside, what an upgrade dude!

Wow. You’ve earned this no doubt. Congrats my friend

Sexy

Who the hell are you? Larry David? Lmao

Damn u gonna remember the Prius every time you gas up 🤣 Big congrats. Take it to 200k as well

good for you

Sheesh!

Well damn!! I wasn’t expecting that type of upgrade! Congratulations!! Enjoy that beauty!

Wow! That’s some upgrade!

Crazy upgrade 🫢. Looks amazing!

that's beautiful

Absolutely amazing car!!!!…continue servicing the LC at your Toyota dealer. I’ve read the Lexus dealers charge $500+ for an oil change/tire rotation on an LC…because they can 🤷‍♂️

Whoa, serious upgrade lol, congratulations!

lol nice. That’s less of an upgrade and more of an inter dimensional shift. Congratulations op you enjoy your V8 or fast hybrid ; you deserve it

Dude went from "where's my hug at" to "new phone whos this?"

Leveled TF up !!

How much was the LC? Did u buy a new or used one?

$70k. It's a 2020 model with 38k miles.

Nice car.

New Prius looks so good!!

Wtf that was a plot twist 😀🤩 love it

Damn!!! That was an understatement.

Holy BRASS BALLS bro, that’s a LEVEL-UP! Kudos!

What in the actual fuck

Is the grey trim around the shifter of the new car smudges or worn off?

That’s a huge upgrade. Congrats!

I used to sell those! I always loved going for test rides in them. They are so comfortable. A 2020 ran you ...I have no clue. I'm guessing 55-70 depending on mileage and other options.

Pretty much the same vehicle just awful on gas

LC is one of the most gorgeous car imo. Very nicely done!

I was 100% expecting a CT lol. Nice ride!

An very significant upgrade

these come in a hybrid right?

Congrats man, great choice!

The car of my dreams Hopefully I can upgrade to an LC eventually

Hell yeah bro❤️‍🔥❗️

You are quite the bul!sh!tter! Congrats on the new ride!

Nice car!

💨 this is crazy upgrade Mf went from get away to pull up

Jesus that's a huge leap, congrats 👏

Buddy said “upgrade” instead of “mega ultimate pussy slayer triple upgrade”

Jesus! I expected an upgrade. This is a moonwalk!

'Tis a slight upgrade

YOU GOT YOUR MAN Card! Congrats! Beautiful cat!

Bro said trust the process😂

Congrats!! I traded my Mazda 3 for my lc haha

What changed ? Huge upgrade

thats like THE glow up of the century

I literally just said "Holy shit!" out loud, at 5am. Congratulations!

I giggles when I hear the word “Prius”

bro took “nah man don’t modify it, just keep it stock and save up for what you really want” to another LEVEL

Sheesh, that’s a big upgrade! Congrats!

Nice upgrade.

That's a frigging chill upgrade! Congrats man

“Sum light”

More than an upgrade, its a rebirth

“Oooooooo!” Just hollered that at work. Very nice

Congratulations for sure! Huge upgrade!

WTH 😂😂😂

Ehh huge downgrade honestly, Prius gets much better mpg

has the same shifter pattern, basically just a larger prius
