Default What LFA has the highest mileage?

Here is one that recently came up for sale with nearly 30,000 miles.

Good to see that someone has had some real seat time in one of these cars.

The black corporate one that was recently sold was over 30k miles I believe. The yellow prototype is probably close to 40k or over.

The yellow prototype still is in US eh? They said it would be returned to Japan as soon as production stops, but looks like it is still in the US.

Good to hear the black one that appeared in many tests has been sold. Lexus never allowed any magazine to use launch control system on the black LFA (I always wondered why?) resulting in many botched neutral-dropping tests by MotorTrend etc. I guess, they had plans to sell it all along.

30k miles? crazy. Love that it's been driven, embarrassed to compare to the mileage on my car.

Didn't know it had been sold. I am responsible for nearly 100 miles on the #32 black car

Sold by Lexus to the dealer in FL.

The car is looking for a good home with a dog to stick it's head out the window during drives.
