Absolutely Red LFA Biggest Draw for San Francisco Toyota Dealer
With just 123 miles on the sonorous 4.8-liter V10, LFA No. 107 is sure to draw in everyone looking for their next Toyota in the tech-bro town.
The LFA remains Lexus’s halo car to this day, a decade after the last of 500 total left Nagoya. While the LC carries the flag for the company’s performance coupes, it pales in comparison to the magic the LFA possesses simply by parking next to an LC. It helps that spotting one in public is a rare sight in the first place.
Unless, of course, you’re shopping for a Toyota in San Francisco. Among the Corollas, Camrys and Siennas, San Francisco Toyota has in its showroom the 107th LFA ever made. If ever a dealer needed to bring in the business, this is the way to go.
According to the free Carfax report attached to No. 107, this Absolutely Red LFA is a one-owner vehicle which spent nearly all of its life in Texas. The Lexus arrived on the Fourth of July in 2011, then received its title and registration on August 17 of that year. The car landed in the showroom of San Francisco Toyota on December 9, 2021, where it has remained ever since.
As for the decade before, it spent most of its time – as most LFAs do – off the road. A grand total of 123 miles was put on the 4.8-liter V10 and six-speed automatic during its stay in the Lone Star State. We presume a lot of care went into preserving the engine and hoses and such.
Of course, if you’re going to have an LFA in Absolutely Red, you must have a tan interior. Or, in this case, Cream leather with matching accents and Camel Yellow stitching paired with the carbon fiber trim. And the interior is protected with packing material, just to give it that showroom-fresh feeling.
When it landed in Texas, the sole owner dropped $393,600 on the LFA. In today’s money, that’s around $488,000. San Francisco Toyota, though, slapped a price of $999,999 on their halo. Whether that’s the price the dealer actually wants for it, or is just a way to deter most seekers, only the dealer can say for sure. It’ll certainly help move a few RAV4s and Tundras, though.
