Hey folks, I got back this weekend after a business trip and had several phone messages from various Lexus parties informing me I'd received an LFA allocation (I guess I really should start forwarding calls from my domestic cell to my work cell when I'm overseas), so it looks like I was in the second wave of notifications. Not sure I would have gotten one before they upped the US to 250 units, but I'm happy either way.
I also got invited to the May 4th event at autobahn, and will try to make it although I'm currently scheduled to be out west at the time.

Did you receive confirmation of the 250
number from Lexus?
The local dealer said 250 but my internal
Lexus sources said 170.
My sense is a number of folks passed or
could not fund or failed the credit check
(the deadline was last Friday) so Lexus
called the deserving customer,
you.

The phone messages were left for me on Wednesday and Thursday, so that was before the 4/16 deadline for the first wave of notifications although certainly they may already have had some responses by then. I didn't get the messages until this weekend because I gave Lexus a personal cell # I only use domestically, which I don't check when I'm out of the country.

Today's update is:
I was walking home from the bus thinking, I did not receive a receipt from the dealer for the first deposit ($10K) and I had seen last week that my check cleared.
In the mail today I received a letter from Lexus Financial Services confirming that I qualified. In both the credit application and the letter they refer to a 2012 LFA. I do not know if all the paperwork is set up like that or there is something set about my build date.

I'm more curious than ever about allocations. If more have been allocated to the US, and with lots of demand in Japan, which markets then lost allocation? Is it mostly European markets I wonder?
Today's update is:
I was walking home from the bus thinking, I did not receive a receipt from the dealer for the first deposit ($10K) and I had seen last week that my check cleared.
In the mail today I received a letter from Lexus Financial Services confirming that I qualified. In both the credit application and the letter they refer to a 2012 LFA. I do not know if all the paperwork is set up like that or there is something set about my build date.

i find it very interesting and amusing that they lock down the allocation so hard that in japan, even with big demands, each dealership gets one and that's it. while here in the US they are going in waves with different applicants until the list is exhausted (and still on going).
and it's funny too, gengar said things are in waves and he just got his allocation, but s2000tois350, he said the GM already got calls from 3-4 people who got rejected letters? how does that work?

S2000toIS350 mentioned that the reject letters go out first, then the acceptances later. I'm guessing they went through the pool, and off the bat a number were disqualified. There is then a pool of prospective buyer candidates, which they go through in tiers. Reminds me a bit of signing up for a game show or American Idol, there are auditions where lots get rejected outright, then there is a group that gets through the screening to the contest, then the winners are chosen...of course, here there are 500 total instead of just 1 winner.

Also: BBC America is airing the LFA Top Gear episode on April 26 at 8/7C for US viewers. That's the segment with the spaceship effects etc. It will repeat later next week too.
