Check out this nonsense:

You can buy about 8 of the 12 never sold LFA's collecting dust at US dealerships for the same price

Edit: It was first posted for sale in April.....

Based on the canards up front, looks like the Nurburgring edition. I'd imagine they'd command a premium over the "run of the mill" LFA, but not that much of a premium. That's just loco.

Fixed wing also tells you it's a 'Ring edition.

I was trying to tell based on that as well if was a N'ring edition, but I couldn't tell if it was a regular version with wing in the raised position or if it was fixed. Upon further analysis, I guess the non-N'ring's spoilers raising apparatus is thinner...I guess.

A Lexus dealership sold a Nurburgring yellow (arguably the most sought after LFA) sold for $650k. I think that sounds right for real value. Regular LFA's range from $350-450k.

Marshall Goodman is one of the first and the biggest dealerships for collectable supercars.... They also happen to overvalue anything they sell. And this causes a "me too" reaction, so other dealers start increasing prices to match. This is why the supercar market is so whacky and sales are slowing down.

They've seemed to realize the price is too ridiculous:

Lexus boss 'dreams' of new LFA supercar
Company president says he wants a successor to 202mph supercar, but focus remains on more affordable models

by Jim Holder
24 October 2017

Lexus president Yoshihiro Sawa has refused to rule out launching a spiritual successor to the LFA supercar but says that, for now, such a project remains “just a dream”.

Production of the LFA was limited to 500 units and the model went off sale in 2012. Powered by a 4.8-litre 552bhp V10, it covered 0-62mph in 3.6sec and hit a top speed of 202mph.

While it remains a supercar icon, with its reputation and used asking prices on the increase, Lexus insiders have previously suggested that cars such as the striking LC coupé do more to change perceptions of the brand by being more affordable for aspirational buyers.

“I really want to do an LFA successor, and it is important to have dreams, but for now it is a very complicated situation,” said Sawa. “It’s a very difficult question to answer as I would like to do it, but we have other priorities for now.”

These priorities will include bringing two SUVs to production: the UX as a rival to the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA, and a seven-seat version of the RX to rival the Range Rover Sport for versatility and luxury.

I know it's not going to happen, but I'd love to see that V10 be further developed and put it in something worthwhile. That engine could wail.....

I think the LC's front and front 1/4 combined with the LFA's rear 3/4 and rear would be the perfect Lexus sports car design.

Yeah, saw that earlier, Painful to watch. Oversteer and then overcorrection especially on touring non racing slick tires. Disaster waiting to happen.

 

[Centurion]

Heavy throttle while turning and driving over white lines isn't very smart.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

That was nauseating to watch. Sad.
