I think the dealer's selling point to the customer is not having to wait up to 2 years to get one, if they wanted it special ordered. Now I'm really curious what the reserve is. As a tidbit, to jump the line to get an Aventador is going to cost $700k.

 

The data shows as "Sold via Lexus Kingsport, TN" ....

This is for the one on Ebay right now...

yup, that's pretty well known tactics for a lot of high end dealerships to flip the prices of those "used/new" cars. though i am pretty sure lexus wouldn't be happy about it. i think one this one we can say lexus was very stern on trying to stop flipping (anyone remembers the 2 yr lease thing?). if they find out any dealership trying to flip cars this way, lexus corp can do some very funny thing to hurt the dealerships on their allocations.

but i guess we will never find out how that plays out, because now the problem is for dealerships to try unload these cars in a timely fashion.

most of these cars aren't even pre-owned, they are brand new non-titled just sitting in the dealership. and the ebay one, i am quite sure it won't hit reserve at all either. i am not surprised if the reserve is pretty much just the msrp. they can't afford it to go on public if a car is sold under msrp. i wonder if they will then contact the bidders and try to work out a deal under the table

2 yrs? no longer! keep in mind the lfa run will end at the end of 2012. we are almost done with 2011, almost 1 yr run already!!! last i checked (though that's few months ago), you can order a lfa and get it mid 2012

 

interesting, that number looks "small", and i think lexus makes their lfa somewhat in order?

 

if cars are really numbered accordingly, then for sure it took long enough for this car to pop up

 

Oh boy, I hope these dealers won't panic and drop sell their LFAs for cheap.

 

same here. i hope they all talk to each other and just hold the line on price

 

yup you are right, from the previously maintained list:

#069 - Silver - Massapequa NY, USA - 04/11

i don't want to go into details, but i believed the owner of the dealership supposedly purchased the car. guess he doesn't want it anymore

 

Surprise, surprise.

 

Looks like we'll be seeing more of these now that the some of the lease terms have started to expire. I wonder how high it'll go?

actually the lease term never really materialized i think. people can buy out the car as is if they want.

 

I'm sorry but there aren't any lease terms expiring for the Lexus LFA..

...because none of the LFAs were sold under Lease agreements..
