Default New RCF owner in DC area

Hey everyone, former Lexus owner but new to the RCF. Just picked up my new 2015 model from Len Stoler Lexus. The car had been sitting waiting for a new owner for nearly two years. Got a sweetheart of a deal and very happy with my purchase so far.

Yessir one of the last in the country. I was able to buy it for a huge discount so at the end of the day I didn't mind.

Welcome!

Should you chose to mod your car, I'm happy to let you drive / see mine. I'm in Bethesda. Likewise, I track my car, too. Happy to chat here or in person.

very nice! Enjoy the 5.0 v8!

thats the first non sun roof, without performance package that I have seen.

How good of a deal did you get from 73k sticker price?

It has the TVD which as far as I can tell they didn't build with the sunroof in 2015. Either you got the performance package (carbon roof), TVD as a stand alone option (no sunroof), or Torsen diff with sunroof. The car stickers at $73.9k and I paid $53k for it. Seemed like a steal at that price considering it's a new car and most CPO's I've seen have been in the same price range.

No and dont dole out pedestrian advice esp when they don't ask for it. it's still a seventy to eighty thousand dollar vehicle. Leave the ghetto Borla junk for the vw gtis of the world. Nobody this side of amg, m and 911 stoop to borla level when there are much better options out there.

wow I would have went to Baltimore to pick up a new car for that price. Wonder why I didn't see it when I was searching for one.

IIRC, when I was getting ready to get my RCF, they had a customer custom ordered RCF in the showroom that had the TVD and a sunroof. No carbon fiber bits on it. I remember it b/c it had the base version 1 wheels which I wasn't too fond of.

I beg to differ. I have a borla, was the first to have it and now have it paired with Ppe headers. Everyone and I mean everyone complements me on the sound ( before and after headers ). I've had 80yr old grandmas complement me.

This is was sent to me from last Sunday at the track.
