This Hail Damaged Lexus LC500 Could Be A Quite A Bargain

If you live in an area that gets hail, even if only rarely, you or someone you know has probably had a car damaged by these cruel balls of ice that fall from the sky.

While hail can be devastating for vehicle owners, it can be a godsend for anyone looking to pick up a used car for cheap with a few dents across the exterior. For example, this Lexus LC500 that’s been damaged by hail is likely to attract quite a bit of interest but still sell for well under its retail value.

Listed on Copart, the Japanese sports coupe is being sold with a hail damage title and has only 12,651 miles (just over 20,000 km) on the clock.

The car will be sold without reserve, and at the time of writing, the highest bid was $10,600 against an estimated retail value of $93,644.

Spotting hail damage in low-resolution photos can be difficult, and this case is no exception. Consequently, it’s difficult to determine just how bad the damage is, but it really doesn’t look all that bad. Inside, everything appears brand new and the plush tan leather is in mint condition.

Mechanically, everything is perfect, meaning the Lexus naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine delivers a healthy 471 HP to the rear wheels – and sounds pretty good doing so.
