I had enquired about owning an LFA. Some of you are correct that the car is not sold through the dealership. For those who "financially" qualify, there is an interview process, and a contract that needs to be signed between yourself and Lexus. This is also assuming that Lexus "awards" you the vehicle. Every tom, ****, and larry cannot own one. You must maintain the car for a minimum of 2 years. It cannot be sold, or transferred.

 

when did you inquire about this? i wonder if any of the details have changed

 

now you qualify if you can fog a mirror.

 

Much respect to my Lexus family but for the inflated price of a lfa id rather buy a used gallardo or murceielago and tune it.

 

I recently purchased a IS-F, at Wilde Lexus in Sarasota FL [ my second purchase at this dealership, unbelievable cars ] . I really like the LFA and everything about it. I saw it at the New York Auto Show. [ I live in NJ ] It is the same size as the IS-F, maybe even smaller. I was really surprised. I look at this car like it's an SR-71 Blackbird. All the old guys will know what this plane is. It's pretty top secret and it's really cool the way Lexus is doing it.

Anyways, to get back to my story. I had spoken with the manager while I was out testing the IS-F before I bought it. I had enquired while I was driving and they said they don't handle it. First, you must fill out an application. If you are "financially approved" then Lexus will send reps from California to interview you about the car. This is why everyone is not approved for the car. [ They don't want Tony Montana dirivng the car if you catch my drift ] At this point, once you are approved, you must sign a contract of a minimum of 2 years that you will keep the car. It cannot be sold or transferred.

I'd be happy to purchase one, but I am ecstatic with my IS-F and LS460 now. I'd like to upgrade to a LS600hl next year before I get interested in the LFA. Seocndly I live in NJ and would be too nervous to drive it here. I can't begin to tell you how many close calls I have had on the road. This is an IDEAL CAR for South Florida, So Cal, and Arizona. You have to be in an area where the Cavalier is not the most popular car. You'd have every girl on your rearend if you had one.

 

Gotta love Jersey though. They ever fix the riddled roads in the south? I used to live there in A.C. when I was younger. Terrible roads in those parts, even the Parkway had it's troubles.

 

Doesn't Sir Gengar (one of the moderators here at CL) have an LFA? Maybe we can also ask him what are the procedures and requirements that he had to encounter when he got his LFA?

 

parkway is 3 lanes wide till about u get int othe exit 50s most of AC roads are decent some are trash though

 

Kennyp whose dad is at the Nurburgring event said 10 LFAs are left and these 10 LFAs have the option to become Nurburgring edition LFA (out of the maximum 50 possible Nurburgring LFAs).

 

yes he has one, but no he's not a moderator. he has a thread on his lfa!

 

went to richmond lexus today with my wife to take a look at the LS600hl. looked at the red LFA and she said jokingly, LFA is nice, should we get it? i said, in a heartbeat (as if we had the money)! lol!

 

It is not up for sale since the owner of the LFA is displaying it in the dealership.

 

yes i know

 

your wife is cool with me man.

 

yeah, maybe when I finally pay off my student loans and settle down...
I'll be what, 85?
