Paris Hilton's Lexus LFA Needs Jump-starting
From what I remember, those who purchased LFAs were pre-approved, so why in the world did Lexus approve her as a buyer? I don't see how anyone with any sense wouldn't notice the headlights were on. Some are already using this as an attack on Lexus reliability. Anyway down below is more info:
Paris Hilton's speedy getaway was somewhat hampered today - after she returned to her snazzy sports car fresh from a shopping trip to discover the battery had gone flat. The 31-year-old reality star accidentally left the headlights on after parking up in Beverly Hills - causing the motor to conked out. Luckily a valet came to the rescue and called a tow truck, with a mechanic arriving on the scene to jump start the $375,000 Lexus LFA.

I believe she received the LFA as a gift. Seriously, LOL at the people bashing the reliability of Lexus. She left the lights on and went shopping. What do you think is going to happen?

i highly doubt headlight was the problem? can't believe there isn't auto shut off

What does Lexus pre approve for? I don't think Lexus commands that kind of exclusivity to be able to tell somebody that they can't buy a car because they need to be pre approved. Especially it's been over 2 years and they still couldn't sell the measly 500 units planned for production tells me they have no business trying to pre approve anyone.
now i am very sure it's just a matter of showing the $$ |
never mind the answer is here :)
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7345241-post180.html wonder how long it took them to "find" it, haha |

well when the lfa order started they did have a "selection process", whether that was to see if you have 400k cash or other background check that's everyone's guess.

i highly doubt headlight was the problem? can't believe there isn't auto shut off I would think that the ECU would automatically turn off the lights after x minutes after she had left the vehicle. My LS and RAV4 does it, though sadly my MR2 does not. =/ |
I thought her bf bought it for her
