Default Has Anyone Actually Purchased One?

The only reports I'm seeing is that they are going to dealers, not consumers, exactly.

It's a little odd with the way those pictures were taken for the arrival in the US.

I'm just curious on sales because I know reports came out that they were sold out, then they weren't-- and still aren't.

Ah, thanks. I've been confused reading one report in one place, and hearing other things from other people. Excited to see this thing in action!

Actually, some dealership reps have come at this board and have specified the number of LFAs are coming into their dealership. Nearly all of them are for customers.

In Canada, all LFAs are going to customers. None to dealerships.

Don't expect to see a bunch of owners on here. We are fortunate to have gengar and a couple of others guys on here.

Yes, people have purchased LFAs. Most seem to be sold, with only very few remaining. As SICK said, don't expect to see many buyers here, as they seem to value their privacy.

Well I haven't technically bought the car yet... though my bank account is probably pleased with itself about that.

Yeah, of course minus the deposits I already made.

More than half of Lexus owners don't even know what Club Lexus is... or any other of these types of car club sites ..

>> Just my opinion..

Ferrarichat does pretty well for as far as Ferrari owners, at least from what I've seen. Hopefully clublexus attracts some LFA owners to share at least pictures of their LFA's.

Yeah Fchat actually does do pretty well but remember that for every one LFA there are thousands of Ferrari's. And the number of people who own 288/F40's and the like are still pretty small on there.

Thanks for sharing your experience gengar. Have you thought about the first place you're gonna cruise in in your LFA?

Well, home, I hope. Even though my delivery date got pushed back to March, given the current weather in the midwest I'm just hoping I'll actually be able to drive my LFA home at all on delivery day.
