Here’s Your Chance to Own LFA No. 312!
Not often does an LFA come up for sale. No. 312 arrives at Bring a Trailer with 7,000 miles on the V10, matching Tumi luggage set.
The odds of seeing a Lexus LFA on the street is between slim and none. Even a place like The Quail during Monterey Car Week would be thrilled to welcome one or more of the 500 examples built between 2010 and 2012. The only sight rarer than an LFA on the road is one up for sale. After all, it’s hard to part ways with a masterpiece yet to be topped a decade later.
When an LFA goes on the market, though, it’s usually at the big auction houses, like Barrett-Jackson or RM Sotheby’s. Not this time. On Bring a Trailer as of this writing: LFA No. 312.
This LFA arrived in Minneapolis back in 2012. From there, it called Illinois and California home before rolling into the seller’s dealership in July 2021. Over that time, the sonorous 4.8-liter 1LR-GUE V10 logged 7,000 miles. Low miles for most Lexus models, but not so much for Nagoya’s halo car.
To further drive home the point (no pun intended), the LFA currently wears a full set of Continentals upon its 20-inch forged BBS wheels. Said tires are date-coded to 2020, meaning this Lexus does actually see the road more often than other LFAs. Yet, it’s no worse for wear, looking today as it did in 2012. And to keep it that way, clear paint-protection film was applied to the Starlight Black paint some time ago.
While most get lost looking upon the V10 up front, a few might be wondering if an LFA has its matching luggage. No. 312 does, a pair of carbon-fiber units made by Tumi for the LFA. All the more perfect to store the various goods this example also possesses, like all three of its keys, the order sheet, and lots of literature related to the LFA.
As of this post, the LFA stands at $551,000 with a week to go. According to Motor Authority, the highest amount paid at auction for an LFA was $1.6 million at RM Sotheby’s Monterey 2021 auction. That one was a Nurburgring Edition, of course, a rare example in its own right.
Meanwhile, Bring a Trailer recently sold a low-mile LFA in July 2021 for $808,000. Maybe No. 312 will reach those heights, as well.
