lol unique can be in two very extreme ways

i was kind of thinking the same, whether he just simply put it back into his collection

Obviously he doesn't need the money, so he probably rather keep it then lose money on getting rid of it.

Lose money? It was listed for over 380K, how would he lose out?

S2000toIS350

The lose money was based on a theory that he would have to discount the cleveland browns mobile to move it.

To date I do not believe we have seen anything about how a dealership will profit from delivering an LFA. The transaction as it was described to me is between the buyer and Lexus Financial Services.

One would think that Lexus cuts something back to the dealer where the customer ordered from/took delivery (might be different).

Off topic, I read something today (may have come from the Automotive news), confirming the LFA roadster in 2014. I would tend to believe this as:
1) Lexus showed the prototype
2) The LFA PS denied it (just like he denied that dealers would get cars befor the end of the production run)
3) They have a perfectly good factory that would be a crime to shut down after 500 cars
4) This would perfect the symmetry with the Alfa 8C project (500 coupes and 500 spiders)

We never got confirmation that it was a real ebay auction as well. Could have been pulled for being a fake ad. Why would Herb sell a $400k car under a new seller account with a 'zero' rating?

Yeah we will never know the truth behind any of that, all we know is that brown car exist on this earth.

So I get another Herb o gram in the email box today.

To make up for the nasty LFA combo Herb selected (OK that is my spin), he is doing a cars and coffee at his Sudbury MA shop Saturday August 13

He is bringing his F1

The first 300 to show get coffee mugs

he's been trying to pull cars & coffee at his dealership, his scheme of cars & coffee is not where close to what it is. His perception of the whole idea is to bring car enthusiast to his dealership to potentially have his sales guys try to drag ppl in to buy cars. His F1 is nice i have to say, and the coffee mugs...well he does that at all his events.

Hi Wong,

I hope someone has picked up your skills by now.

Herb is big business.

I remember seeing his F1 many years ago in his Somerville shop, very sweet and parked near his MB gullwing.

I wouldn't be amazed if someone has already replaced me, from what i learned at that place is no matter how much you prove to be a valuable asset or possess trade secrets no one else knows, herb can find someone to replace you whether they are proficient as you or worse. from me leaving that place, 3 others have also gone. There are better places to work for out there imo, he may be a big business, doesn't mean his is the best to work for or to buy from.

Yes his F1 is awesome....now time to get this off-topic out of the lfa thread.

I have yet to see a F1 in person, it is like the rarest modern car........but I guess not officially sold in the U.S. got something to do with it. Most of them are in Europe. Seems like there is only 1 in HK.

A person I know saw Mr. Bean commute to the movie studio in his F1 right before he crashed it a few weeks ago. That would be so cool to me, seeing someone using a F1 as a commuter.
