Default For Sale in New Zealand.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/2164615206

In good old NZ a LFA sourced from Japan for sale here.

Its thee first to be sold and about to my knowledge the third LFA to come to NZ.

We’ve had the Blue Aussie one owned by Lexus Australia here.

Also we’ve had a white left handed drive version from Singapore here also.

This is the first privately owned LFA to be sold in NZ.

Interesting. I wonder if it will stay in NZ or get exported out to a different country?

Its been here for about 3 years done about 4000 kms in that time.The owner sourced the car from Japan with 127 km on the clock so not even run in.

Don’t really know if it’ll stay or go.It seems the asking price round the world for the standard LFA seems to be about 500 K USD.

RHD not sure really but down this part of the world I’ve only seen 2 for sale this 1 for the above price and 1 in Australia for even more they wanted a Mill and change AUD.

There rear as hens teeth down this part of the world.Only thing I’d worry about is servicing as I’m not sure any Lexus dealership in NZ anyway has the capability to service this car.The closest tech would have to be flown from Australia.

If there were any allocations to NZ then the techs must have been trained on how to service the LFA? Wonder why the owner is trying to sell it. Profit maybe? He owns a unicorn that is also legendary and the engine is unlike anything else, but I guess there could be many reasons.

Zero allocations for NZ if you wanted one you’d have to import it.

Investment purposes what a shame man if I owned a car like this I’d be driving it most days of the week.I couldn’t stand a car like this sitting in a garage doing what it’s not designed to do.

Does that mean you're putting your trip to Mars on hold?
