I think I got my car around May 2015 and it currently has about 8,000 miles.
Update: Over 2 years later from ^this post, my car has 11,500 miles. 3,500 miles in the past 2 years. Might as well sell it to someone who will enjoy it more than me.
Short answer: Less than a month - happy birthday to me! 2017 bought March 30, 2019 had ~13,800 miles and I'm the third owner. It has 14,995 miles now. First owner had it until recently. Second owner had it for a month then traded it in for a new LC500. I found it online locally and had it in my garage within a week.
I have a story to tell!
Interestingly...when I was 15 I bought my first car, a 1971 Camaro hoopty for $500.00! Worked at a gas station for $3.10/hr and made $50/mo payments. Dents and rust everywhere, problems often, etc but I loved it. So forward 30+yrs later and for my recent birthday convinced my wife I needed another one. I had loaned my 71' to my brother and never saw it again. He said the motor blew while he was 100 miles away and then took it to the junk yard I was super bummed but my brother always took care of me and when I wrecked his truck he was cool about it...so whatever.
Back to the wife, she agrees I was never made right so about a month ago I go hunting for a second gen Camaro with a nice budget...woop! Found two nice ones online and test drove them. One was Frankenstein. LS crate motor and rode like crap because it had been operated on so much. The second was mostly stock and a clean ride...but no a/c. I need that a/c. I ended up putting a deposit and offer down and was ready to buy. But I came back for a second visit and it wouldn't start. At that moment I had a flashback and came to the quick realization that today, at this point in my life...I just don't have time to deal with reliability issues. Cancelled offer and was sad. Lol.
One thing to note - I'm a Toyota fan with four in the stable already and had been holding out for the 2020 Supra but am totally disappointed with the engine. So that dream is gone.
My daughter says, take your time daddy, no need to rush in...you have the budget so make a good choice. Man that girl (and future Dr) is smart. I look and look and look...I look at GTR's, 911's, even the R8 etc I'm all over the place but all are way above my price point for a late model year. Then it happens - Lexus pops into my search and it should have been there all along. What was I doing! Toyota luxury brand!
I stumble upon the only used RC F in a 600 mile range and it's super clean. Stalk it for a week. The dealership drops it another $5,000 to move it and it was a wrap for $50,500.00. Feel like I stole it. And what's even cooler, is my wife let me have her garage spot. Blessed!
If you made it this far, thanks for reading my story about how I stumbled upon this incredible car.
2015 with 70k miles now and it still runs like new.
I had the fuel pump replaced under TSB. Was working fine, I think the dealer just wanted to make some money. I also replaced my driver's seat due to wear on the leather. I also replaced a dead battery. Other than that, regular maintenance is all that has been done.
No rattles anywhere other than something in the rear headliner that only vibrates under heavy bass. Probably from listening to music too loud for most of those 70k miles.
I mash the pedal to the floor every chance I get. So these have been hard miles.
Similar story… Had a '68 Camaro SS, and a Camaro IROC many years ago when single. Now many years later, my wife says I can spend some bucks for a nice sports car! Looked at 911's, GTR, R8, and even a Corvette. Then by accident, saw this used RCF, and for the money I had to buy it!
Had mine since October 2017. It had under 8000 miles when I purchased it and now has 10,500 miles. No issues at all. Put an Invidia full catback exhaust and made the car a lot more fun and enjoyable.
Still has the new car smell. Will be taking in for a scheduled service/maintenance and oil change in May that will cost $370 CAD. Also, will be getting alignment done which will be another $150 at the dealership since last year I hit the rear driver's side wheel on the curb while turning left (got a curb rash on the left rear wheel), but drives perfectly. Tires are also down to about 40% tread. I only drive it in the dry and next year, will be switching tires out with the 2020 RCF-spec MPS4S tires when they become available.
After searching many dealerships on east coast I found this 2019 Infrared F fully loaded. Purchased Nov 2018 in Pennsylvania. Only 321 miles so far. Does not leave garage unless sun is shining.
Bought mine in 15', Brand New Blue Mica & I just hit 5k miles on it! I Don't have it for Sale but IF anybody is looking I'd probably give them a Really Good Deal on it! It's in Pristine condition, Never seen Rain, Snow or a drive thru car wash & has Never been Smoked in. Has a Clear Bra on the front end & is Stock except for the Titanium exhaust piece!
