The lowest price LFA in the USA on Autotrader right now is listed for $282k. My guess is it worth less in Japan.
Mr. Bean's F1 cost ~$1 million to rebuild and was worth ~$8 millions at the time, now is listed for sale for $12 millions.

I think the car was probably already a total write off by the insurance company if the engine and interior electronics are shot. But the chassis/body panels, etc., are salvageable, what I meant is Lexus should take it back to restore it , even if the owner did not want it ......

This would apply to the 2000GT now.

The one in China with heavy damages (looked like even frame damage) was repaired in Cologne Germany at Toyota's F1 facility. Then it was sold again after all the repairs. In the video, they said they have all of the equipment and expertise to fully repair the monococque. The repair costs were taken into account when LFA was designed. That was the primary reason why the quarter panels were made of aluminum rather than carbon fiber.
No way is that a "totalled" LFA since the worth of the car is too much for it to be totalled.
