Which dealer ? I know they were about $400K when new and now they've appreciated to $700K+. Your dealer is probably holding out for $800K+
Lexus Escondido. Come to think of it...close to a year since I was there. But there it was sitting in the showroom. I wouldn't think most LFA buyers would need to be swayed by seeing one at a dealer, I mean it didn't exactly have a window sticker lol. And I didn't ask just took a peek from the 10ft barrier they put around it.
It's a pretty massive sized dealer paired with a nice steakhouse.
I'm 10000% sure all the museum and dealer queened LFAs are clinically depressed. It's meant to be on the road and it wants to roar. Its no different than buying a rolex or patek to shove it in the safe and let it become a safe queen.

Thus is the life of stupidly valuable things. If I had the means for an LFA, there is a particularly deserted stretch of straight interstate near my house between the hours of 00:00 to 04:00 every day that is completely deserted. I'd be winding out that LFA to 120mph or more every time I drove it. No sense in owning exotic/sports cars if you don't drive them hard every time you take them out.

hence why i generally only use the E55 once or twice a week, but for like 45 min to an hour at a time (almost always after 1 am lol) and really let it stretch its legs...

Love that Benz with the supercharger, IMO its a better car than the naturally aspirated, bigger displacement AMG cars that came a couple years later. Swap the pulley and you have more power than those later cars, plus it makes those really cool whining supercharger noises. Its just a more mod friendly motor. I've driven one of your supercharged AMG "E55" Benz cars, a modded on to 140mph, fastest "street" car I've ever driven, the way it pulls from 60 to 140 is just insane, it felt faster than a stockish 6 speed C6 Corvette with the LS3 which I've had some seat time in. Granted the Vette looks cooler, but I'd rather have the modded E55 if I were just driving surface streets.

It’s not legal to be using public roads at those speeds. So unless you live next to a desert I don’t see how you can hit those speeds every time you take it out.
