Maybe they are for his family. Or he's flipping them on eBay to make more money. When you have a billion dollars, buying a 400h is like buying a 64-cent Hot Wheel at Walmart. BTW, Arnold Schwarzenegger has 5 Hummers - the real deal $110,000 H1s. He's worth a mere $56 million according to his filing when he ran for CA governor.

A friend of mine is a BMW sales manager in NY. He told me that once a customer walked in, bought 3 bimmers within minutes, wrote a personal check for the entire amount, and told the sales to deliver the cars to his home when the check clears. It was the talk of the showroom for a month.

THere is a story VVTi told me that happned at his dealership. A man brought in a LS 400 for service b/c his check engine light came on. He was a HUGE UGA fan (University of GA) and was in a rush to drive from Atlanta to Athens for a big football game. That is about 45 min away.

It wasn't a small problem and the man asked how long would the serivice take. He was told at least 4 hours. The man exclaimed "I dont' have 4 hours". He asked "where is the showroom".

He walked inside and glanced at all the Lexus inside. He sat inside a new LX 470. He came out and said "just give me what you want for the LS as a trade and I'll write a check for the rest".

That is how u do it He got to the game on time from our understanding.

He could've asked for a loaner. I guess when someone's so rich, the typical ES and RX loaner fleet is "beneath him."

I'm sure this guy was already itching to get another one, this just gave him an excuse and a story to talk about with the friends around the club :-)
