Anyone else considering hoarding the F-specific parts before they become unobtanium? Do you think Lexus is going to keep producing the originals for 20 years with ~5000 cars to service worldwide? It's getting real tempting to considering stashing a few grand in parts just in case, with the ever increasing cost of body work.....

 

I believe the figure is more around 12k cars worldwide...... Either way is low production. I actually do that now. If I find something on Ebay, thats used but in good condition, ****** it right up. None of the big ticket items, but the smaller more affordable things.

 

Yeah 5k total may be a low estimate, but seeing as how they're all performance models, they're probably subject to a higher attrition rate. By the time Lexus is considering no longer supporting it, I imagine they'll be accounting for a lower number than their average estimates. Let me know when you stop shopping so we don't end up in bidding wars

 

haha. It's not like that, Once a bidding war starts, its not worth it, might as well buy brand new. lol.

 

Ive been considering this myself. mainly fenders and bumpers.
