LFA No. 95 with Rare Pearl Brown Metallic Coat Ready for New Home
Back on the market (or, perhaps, never left), LFA No. 95 features Pearl Brown Metallic shade draped over an orange leather interior.
What’s a rarer than a Lexus LFA? Seeing one on the road anywhere around the world. Of the 500 built between 2010 and 2012, just 179 arrived in the United States. And of those, only one is left in the world that can be bought new, according to carsalesbase.com; three were sold new in 2020, six years after the last one left the production line.
However, a rarer sight than an LFA on the road is one returning to the marketplace. No. 95 is such an example. According to Motor Authority, it’s currently offered for sale by Hyper Voitures in the Sharajah International Airport Free Zone in the United Arab Emirates.
Turns out this LFA’s been on the market for quite some time, as we reported on it back in 2017. In fact, in all those years, it’s not logged another mile upon the 1,074 already on the sonorous 4.8-liter V10. All those miles were captured somewhere between its arrival in the U.S. and its departure for the U.A.E. prior to hitting the market. That means it was only driven for five years before parked at its current home.
So, what will the next owner get (besides having to swap out all of the hoses and tires, along with changing all of the fluids)? They’ll receive an LFA draped in a rare shade, Pearl Brown Metallic. Inside awaits an orange leather interior with black accents, plus carbon fiber steering wheel and trim. And once the car’s sorted out, they’ll be able to enjoy that V10 and six-speed auto out on the road. Hopefully for more than another 1,074 miles.
Back in 2017, the LFA hit the market for $645,000. In 2021, that price, due to inflation, is now $685,000. That’s almost double the original MSRP of $385,000 in 2010, $437,000 today. As we noted a while ago, the most expensive pre-owned LFA was a 2012 Nurburgring Edition, which sold for nearly $1 million in 2019 at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale extravaganza.
Thus, we can only wonder why LFA No. 95 is still on the market. Too much money to import it back to the U.S.? No one wants a brown Lexus, even if it’s an LFA? Asking price too high, period? Let’s hope this one gets to go back on the road sooner than later.
