Lexus LFA Purchase in the US – With Stipulations
You can now purchase the all new super-sportscar Lexus LFA in The United States – as long as you sign several documents and promise not to rip them off, while they do the opposite to you.
According to WorldCarFans – When Lexus announced the LFA last year, the Japanese automaker said it would only be available to customers in the United States by lease. The rationale behind the decision was that Lexus didn’t want customers to turn around and sell the limited series model for a profit to another buyer. Only after the two-year lease was up could they buy the car outright. And that two-year lease’s monthly payments? Zero. You just have to pay $300,000 up front.
Customers in the U.S. can indeed purchase the car but, for the next 2 years, can only sell it back to the dealer for the original sticker price or its fair market value, whichever is lower. If the owner sells the LFA privately without first giving the buyback option to the dealer, then the dealer is owed whatever profit is made on the sale plus legal fees.
We think it is safe to say that Lexus really loves their LFA roadster – that or they foreign auto maker has completely lost its mind. Full asking price for a US-Spec Lexus LFA is $375,000.
