Paris Hilton actually had a yellow one given to her by (at that time) her boyfriend. She (apparently) sold it after they broke up, and, today (if the gossip-columns are correct LOL), she pays $5600 a month today for a newer, white one.

 

I believe the yellow car was a demo

When you buy a $400K car, the monthly payments are going to look bonkers

 

i honestly don't know and it doesn't really matter to me, but again from wikipedia...

 

Confirming that all LFAs are 2012 cars (goofy but true)

 

Guess that article was a little misleading, then. Paris Hilton must have a new-er LFA, not a new one per se.

 

Correct, every LFA is officially designated as MY2012, regardless of when it was produced/sold.

The yellow one was Lexus' [edit: P014] that they provided at her request for her TV show. The white one was the one she bought, although she got rid of it at some point.

 

Here she is getting into her white LFA, after a short interview, and driving off, although I'm not sure I believe the part about her re-painting the yellow one.

 

you were corrected by other couple of times before already but looks like you never remember it. she never had the yellow one, it's the p014 pre-production car that lexus loaned out for their tv show

 

believing what you read on the internet can be a very dangerous thing. at least now i know where he got his "information" from

 

I am SHOCKED that paris hilton has such a good taste in cars. Also $5600/month is chump change for her lol.

 

Well, if she actually have to make monthly payments for it, my guess is they are coming out of her monthly allowance from her trust fund ?

 

Eh for posterity

Doubt it, she is/was one of the highest paid DJ's in the world and has a formidable merchandise and licensing empire.

Anyway, I think it was nice that Paris Hilton was someone who was actively driving the car around and bringing Lexus and the LFA press. Which I don't know if anybody here remembers, but Lexus wanted the LFA to be driven by people who would bring it to posh areas and enhance their brand, hence Halo. Does the LFA has any more of a famous owner than Paris Hilton?

 

Not that I know of, but I have seen Larry Ellison of Oracle driving his white LFA on I880 here in the Bay Area.

Around the time he took delivery of the car, he had some speed-bumps removed from Oracle HQ because they damaged his low sitting LFA

 

Sorry yes P014 not P032, got the numbers mixed up in my head with Lexus' production #032.
