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.

Actually what a lot of dealers/owners do is title it for the short term, sell it back to the dealership, and then price it over MSRP as a used car. That way they can get around the new car gouging, prohibited by the manufacturer. You'll see this behavior in many high end dealerships with special edition, limited run, or even newly released exotics. This is what I suspect as the intention of these dealership owners, except they didn't anticipate sales being this weak. Now they're dumping it into the market to avoid any potential or further losses. I can bet that bids won't reach the reserve in that ebay ad. If Lexus is having a hard time selling them brand new at MSRP, just imagine how difficult it would be to get the same or more, pre-owned.
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

LFA on eBay!
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?

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..
