I was looking for a clean 100 and ended up with a 200. Stoked!
Purchase 2013-2015 or jump to 2016?

So I made a jump I hadn't contemplated before and decided on a '15 LX.
The price on the LX was fair and right in line with just slightly lower mileage LC's. But the all the goodies inside made it too hard to resist. Plus it's the same color combo as the 07 LC I replaced (white/tan). Great for the Texas heat.
I really wanted to jump into a 16 LC, but I think a year from now is when they'll be more prime and better choices. People are quite proud ($$) of their slightly used 16's. And they should be!
After having the 07 (last year of a gen) I felt like the 15 was kind of similar in it's the last year of the tried and true 6 speed.
So for me that works : )

Change of plans. After going to see the LX again and pick it up, I just couldn’t do it. I felt like the vehicle was too fancy. I ended up finding a 14 LC in Dallas and thought what wouldn’t be better than to drive 500 miles round trip in our TEXAS gas shortage to go get the LC.
I know this has been covered in other threads but the fact that the LC states 87 octane has come in handy these past few days with stations either out or only having limited stock of 87. The LX being tuned to run 91, 20” curb rashing wheels, and more motorized parts ended up all being deterrents for me.
I couldn’t be more happy now with the LC over the LX. To each their own. No judging on the LX’s they are sweet.
I will say after having driven a 16 too, I don’t think the extra $10-15k in price is worth it if you can find a nice low mileage 14-15.

Nice! Congrats-- I went back and forth about the LX and the LC for a while but I found a 2013 near Brenham in June that checked all the boxes. Seeing your location I might see you a few times in the 'hood.
