Yellow LFA

Anybody know where to find a yellow LFA for sale?. Been looking for so long and can't find one. Have been looking on autotrader and cars.com. Any leads will be appreciated. Red would be a second choice

Found a white Nurburgring. Hate to spend the extra 70k, but I think in the future its value may rise more quickly than a regular LFA. What do you think?

Funny, about 3 years ago I almost pulled the trigger on a Carrera GT for 275k, thinking they would eventually start appreciating. Kicking myself for letting that opportunity slip by. They are over 800k now. I think the LFA's are destined for the same type of appreciation in about 7 or 8 more years.

Officially, also the Nurburgring Edition holds a very significant place in history where it still holds the record of the quickest car around Nurburgring officially on street non-racing slick tires. (and 7th overall). Granted they both are 98% the same car, I still do believe it is worth the extra $70 grand for reasons you mentioned.

Another reason for its appreciation could be that there are much less of them on the road then when they were first produced. So many have been in accidents that their numbers are dwindling. I would get the LFA that you like and be happy with it. I doubt it will appreciate as much as the CGT but hey, you'll own aa LFA which is arguably the best car on the road. And it also won't try to kill you.
