Confirming that the starfire unit at JM is for sale.
The internet person sent me the window sticker.
More trivia
Gas Guzzler $3700, boo.
Delivery was only $2400 for all that amazing transit.
The car has winglets and headlamp washers and came in at $381,400.
I think the chassis is 035 and have asked for confirmation.

I am only mentioning it as during development I thought I read that the expectation was to avoid the guzzler thing.
I can't get over the cheap transportation.
Those movie stars that de-van the cars must be expensive (can't you see those guys in a Bond film) and then there is the 18 wheeler service in this case from CA to FL.
What do you mean nothing, if he put up the $60K, he definitely got the glass sculpture.

I believe my transport from Italy to Seattle was around $10k last year. I don't remember exactly. The UK car was less, but I don't remember the number either. As for ground once in the US, I've shipped cars between Seattle and LA about a half dozen times and it varies depending on urgency from as high as $2k to as low as $850.00 if we ship as a group of six. If you're on an open schedule, it's common to pay around $1,200-$1,400 each way. East/west gets tricky because of carrier routes, depots, etc.
Toyota has their own distribution system so it's relatively cheap in the context of a whole truck already making that same route. The only unique step is from the airport to the motor distribution point. There are lots and lots of considerations with private transports that can dramatically impact the price. Also are all LFAs coming through a single point of US entry?

All LFAs come via boat. No air freight, not even as an option.

It's a very nice delivery process, but $2400 is market for exotics as far as the delivery/processing on the sticker. The 458 is actually a tiny bit less although the Gallardo is around 3k based on the stickers I've seen. The MP4-12C is also supposed to be $2400.

Isn't the demo car actually leased from the factory? Is it possible they count that one as "sold" given that it's an actual production car and not pre-production. Then there is that white car that was to go to a customer who wanted a different color.

I did count the white car that the buyer didn't complete the sale on as one of the three. But maybe it isn't counted in the sales figures since it isn't technically sold, so it's possible we have two LFAs entirely unaccounted for. Based on the VIN the white one on the lot should be LFA #37.
