I remember the bump up to the 170s but I thought the final nu,ber was supposed to be 174
Now we need a spreadsheet of all the builds
In terms of deliveries it looks like a bit over 60 cars have not been sold to date (a real shame considering how much fun the car is to drive)
That is further muddied by dealers that took delivery and have them for sale
lexus corporate has 4 production cars (black, red, orange, and white ring)

I think there is a very good chance that one can still buy a brand new LFA from Lexus USA. You just have to settle for the color schemes they have selected.
I really wonder if they shipped the unsold cars to the US or kept the in Japan, and what colors are available?

Have these figures been posted here somewhere that I can acquire them?

(And yeah, it's a bit of a shame. Although, I'm hoping at least one good one, that hasn't been abused, will still be around in a couple months.)

Thanks rominl

GrnLantern, I found the numbers on the Lexusenthusiast.com site and here is a link to a page that shows full year sales for 2011 and 2012

http://lexusenthusiast.com/page/13/

FYI page 1 has jan 2013 sales

07 made an interesting point related to my post about inventory, maybe Lexus has 20 plus new units sitting in a warehouse somewhere

Just use your imagination, Gengar Blue ext and gray leather int with dark wheels and blue calipers...

It should be in Canada at someone's garage. However, I still have the books and the glass block hologram.
I am waiting for either a special edition, or a US specs LFA. For the latter, with our currencies at par, I stand to save a minimum of $25K without any haggling I hope someone ordered the combo I had.

Lexus doesn't keep an inventory of cars at the port or in Japan. All the LFAs for the USA have been devanned and processed. They come in and they leave the Port of Long Beach as soon as possible. Lexus HQ in Torrance only has 4 LFA's in their own inventory:

LFA 410 Nürburgring Whitest White w/Red & Black
LFA 144 Red w/Red & Black
LFA 032 Black w/Black & Red
LFA P014 Pearl Yellow w/Black

Can't wait for the owner to bring both of his LF-A's out! He's brought #3 to a few events and is always willing to rev it up for the crowd that surrounds him.

Yeah Mr. Mallady is a very humble man. He's very excited about his new car and his enthusiasm is genuine. He's currently selling 003, so it's unlikely he'll bring both out to any local events. It's most likely the two cars will be together once he takes official delivery back home in the ATL.

Bummer! I didn't know he was planning to sell #003. If only I made a little bit more money...
