I heard some "kids" talking about the LF-A and they said all 500 (or whatever the number is) were already pre-sold ...... I said "what? really?" and they seemed sure of it ...... WTF?

 

I just spit my water on my screen, thanks alot!

 

I got negative reputation points for that little joke. What's GMAFB mean?

 

i'd guess give me a effen break? i watch a lot of wheel of fortune

 

I thought it was "Green Martians Are Farming Broccoli". I think your's is more likely.

 

well that explains my rep points....i'm sure i go 3 backwards for every 1 forward. i didn't know you could get negative reps..

that post was perfect. rep points back

 

plus some more from me.....

 

Thanks guys. I've now gotten 6 for and 1 against. Too bad it doesn't say who left you feedback.

 

I've asked the question on multiple forums, who's buying the LFA? So far nothing. I've yet to have even one person step forward and say they are buying one. I've asked a lot of guys in car circles if they know of someone and they said no too. Someone then told me Lexus isn't taking order for almost another year. Huh? So, I have no idea what to think of this car. I can say that nothing on the street matches they hype put out by Lexus.

Oh, I did find some fans who rode in one on the Lexus forum. None of them own exotics, didn't name any exotics they have drive, and don't plan to buy an LFA. So, if they have room to take them for a test ride in the car, that would tell me that buyers aren't taking up the ride slots.

 

What if---Lexus leased these at waaay under market/lease just to get "the right people" in the car???

Does anyone know what the lease terms look like, are the terms more attractive or than a standard auto lease?
Here's what a std. lease would look like.
$500k/3yr/w50% residual/finance + tax on lease=
comes in at very round number $8k/mo=$96k/yr

Maybe Lexus has a secret group of 500 people that have waited the last 10 years of its development to buy the car.
