If You've Always Wanted a Lexus LFA, Now May Be the Time-01-2011-lexus-lfa-review.jpg

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we discussed that LFA selling on Craigslist for less than MSRP? Well, apparently that may be the indication of a trend.

Read the rest on the Club Lexus homepage. >>

The LFA is an Awesome car, but if i was going to spend that much on a car it probably wouldn't be on an LFA

That is a personal choice and understandable especially if one values hp/dollar. However, the thread is more of a testament to how well used LFAs have been holding their value nearly after 5 years since it ended production. Used LFAs mostly are going for above their original MSRP (while mass produced supercars plummet in their value after 5 years).

By comparison, to all of the remaining used for sale across the entire US (only 3 out of total 178) for sale, the OP says it is a bargain by comparison.

Personally, its V10 experience and sound alone is worth all the money. Nothing else out there like it.

Trying to remain unbiased here, but having watched the market over the past 24 months, I believe the opportunity to get a discounted LFA has already passed. The number of cars listed for sale has dropped by approx 75% in the last 12 months and the asking prices of used LFAs currently for sale has increased above MSRP.

It could be that some Lexus dealer principals still hold unsold cars that they have chosen not to list. But in any case, this is the current market for LFAs listed as available for sale. Quite a dramatic turnaround, but perhaps not out of line with the trend of rare and special exotics, nowadays.
