No kidding! The car deserves to be driven. I wonder if the new owner knows 569 easy miles are still needed.

Just the amount of paperwork, insurance, and money involved to buy a $69k car - then sell it back - to maybe make a couple thousand bucks, totally isn't worth it to me.

Let's be honest, if the car goes to the clientele that thinks it's a "collector's item", it won't reach those miles.

Which is a shame cause this is a car meant to be driven, not squirreled away so it can be resold 10 years from now.

The buyer can do whatever they want with it. But personally I don’t think it’ll ever be worth much more than it already is. Has there ever been a Lexus that sells for more than it MSRPd for other than the LFA? I’m talking long term (10+ years) not this pandemic shortage nonsense. The LFA doubled in 10 years, but so does the S&P 500 and LEGO sets.

Agreed. I like my car, but it isn't one of those generational cars that changed the market or that set a new benchmark. It's more of a swan song to the naturally aspirated V8.

^^ You are selling yourself now?!? (lol) Is that Canadian or US funds? And do you come with your own GoBag? (lol)

Sorry, I couldn't resist teasing you, I know you meant "It was sold" not I was sold

On a side note, my GF said she'd be lucky if she got 10.99$ for me

^^ Is that an official bid?!

On a serious note, I am curious if teh 2023 will be treated as a commodity as the 2022 have been - If of course 2023s are made

Sad…but so true. 😞

Very true, but the genesis of this car was to do something special for Lexus’ small band of enthusiasts. It was not meant to be a garage queen. 🤮

I know an additional 4 are sitting down in Puerto Rico still for sale.

As far as 2023 goes, there hasn't been any official press about it. With FY2023 two months away, I would expect something before then. Other car companies are shifting to MY2023 (Ford, Hyundai, Dodge, Jeep, some Lexus models), and I thoroughly expect dealers to be in the dark until a good month after info comes out to the public. I would be surprised to see models actually hit the showrooms before 2023.
I'm am North of the Border and looking on autotrader.ca there are more LEs than Premiums for sale used.

When I look nationwide on autotrader.com, most cars I see are also LEs for sale used. Is around 1000 units produced realistic?

I really hope 2023 models offer a sunroof up here, for me it may be a deal breaker and might make me cross border shop even for a 22.

totally a guess here, but it looks like a portion of LE’s were bought by flippers. I never understood why Canada didn’t get sunroofs
