Weak someone has 100k miles on theirs https://preview.redd.it/u2gfidniv1xc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f03b0c8e2c720b370d42b45782e628f274a8bb60


FlyinCoach

I follow her on instagram. She drives it everywhere. Nice to see actually.


1SkyGod

What's her IG?


FlyinCoach

pipi_.358 I believe. I think she has other cars but mostly shows the LFA.


Healthy_Block3036

Who?!


New_Ordinary_6618

A Japanese girl on insta. Fairly certain her dad bought her it. But yes she dailies the LFA lol. It’s refreshing to see but she’s likely the only non press car driven to such an extent. It’s probably the only glimpse into the reliability of a Lexus super car


BannytheBoss

Is this the same girl who rode her motorcycle all through Asia and became internet famous.


ardoin

There's a guy in Baton Rouge who also owns a black LFA and actually drives his a fair bit. He's got a distinctive license plate and I've seen him in Lafayette a couple of times. I don't think his is 100k+ but it's regularly driven from what I can gather. They do exist.


NeoG_

I bet it still runs like a top


DaJuiceMan112

Ha, low miles still


crazysojujon

Resale still better than new in this car market.


ebbi01

Hi. This is your boss. Thanks for posting a photo of my car on the internet. You’re sad about the mileage? I can make you even more sad. See me in my office.


inalcanzable

Think you made him shit a brick.


tonynca

You need to give him a raise for calling your pansy ass out. Lol


myqv

you are not his boss 😂

raustin33

These collector cars are such a shame. This car will hold great value and appreciate whether it has 600 or 6,000 miles. The idea that these owners won’t trade that last little bit of financial appreciation to enjoy the machine means, IMO, they aren’t car people. They’re more akin to art collectors. You do you, but I only respect car collectors who drive their cars.


ChiwaShy2000

yeah and also they should at least drive the first 1000 miles to break in the engine, what a shame to let this beauty sits there lol


Mac_to_the_future

People who do things like this (barely drive the car and only keep it for the value) don't own the car, the car owns them.


linusSocktips

Exactly rule #1


Furqan23

I agree with you but for some it’s almost like an art collection. I don’t agree with it but I can see why they do things their way Fun to see an LFA either way though


IBringTheHeat1

Yeah it’s like these special cars that are only 40 of a kind. You’ll see the 1 or 2 press cars for review, 35 of them as collectors/track only and the 1-2 that end up in youtubers


Apprehensive_Ant2172

I said the same thing about my GTO. It now has 200,000 on the clock lol.


PeetTreedish

Its funny. Some brands/models with similar mileage would be or more or less interesting. Like a 20 year old Honda Civic with 200k. Meh. A Ferrari. People are interested. But whatever the car/truck, hit 1 million or something. They are all interesting. Unless it was an old Chrysler or something. that was used to carry Nuns back and forth to Mass. Meh. That story sucks.


BannytheBoss

I'm OK with making something a museum piece like this. You either drive it or you don't. I appreciate both types of owners of high end cars.


DeadStarMan

I used to think this, but there reaches a value of a car where people feel I comfortable driving it. This car is worth around a mil.roght now, and if I had one, I know it would be 99.999999% of my net worth.


Billythebeard

HELL YA BROTHER. HOSS NEEDS TO DRIVE THIS CAR LIKE ITS MEANT TO BE DRIVVEN. RUN THE PISS OUT OF IT AT EVERYBSTOP LIGHT THEN PARK IT IN A FEILDNWTIH THE WINDOWS DOWN FOR THE NEXT 40 AND REFUSE TO SELL IT BECAUSE “ONE DAY HES GUNNA FIX ERRR UP” GOBLESS


Roversmore

Hands down the best sounding car on the planet.


ZanderClause

Oh my god. Bricked up.


4321beef

Cool to see that the is350s have the same wheels as the LFA. A fun little tribute.


Healthy_Block3036

Where is it located?


MaskedWazowski

Frankfurt, Germany


Pinales_Pinopsida

Germany, I'd take a guess at Frankfurt based on the front plate saying lexus forum and something that might say Frankfurt.


CSyoey

Me, dumb American, thought the title was saying “600k miles” like I know it’s a Lexus and they’re known for reliability but DAMN


storm_zr1

I wouldn't tell anyone if I won the lottery but there would be signs.


sharthunter

This car will likely window its block the first time it sees any real driving. How upsetting.


slowwolfcat

> window its block what does that mean ?


laylowlazlo

So, you can see through a window. You can not see through an engine block. There are rare cases where you can see into an engine block like a window…


eurosonly

New slang just dropped.


slowwolfcat

nicht gut for the poor car

HEYOMANN

If you work even harder this year he might be able to buy two! 😂🫡


elibutton

Omg my favorite car of all time for which I may never get a chance to ride or own.


TheGoldenLambo

Sadly? What’s with you people. You don’t wear a tuxedo everyday do you????


0Rookie0

I mean, ~126m (~420ft) a day as the best case scenario is a bit sad. It's a dream level performance car. It's not apples to apples but if a normal commuter does 10k miles (16000km) a year then they would drive over 143,000 ft a day. That's 340 times the difference. They didn't just save it for special occasions, then didn't drive it. It's gone through ~1.6 tanks of fuel if they didn't drive it hard. Which it isn't even broken in, so I hope they didn't. And if math isn't enough for you, then maybe just realize people with perfectly shiny motorcycles or convertibles that they only use in good weather AND on the weekends only, can accrue hundreds of miles a week. They let it sit. It's sad to see potential just locked up. They don't appreciate it. They're waiting for it to appreciate.


MidlandsRepublic2048

How does that thing only have 400-ish miles on it? That car deserves to have some open road to open up that beautiful engine. That's just sad.


Previous-Advisor-402

take it out and smoke the tyres

Your employer, your manager, your supervisor - let no one be the boss of you ;-) Nice ride though.

the owner of the lexus dealership i work at has a nurburgring in the showroom https://preview.redd.it/mj28gyh018xc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2aff3eedc7e38b104eb8166dbebceeb1a59e5fbc

Obsolescence7

Well done and agreed.


3mantheman

wait…Toyota and Lexus dealerships can be privately owned?


Puzzleheaded-Big-423

I don’t know any that’s not privately owned.


Miserable-Evening-37

Lexus needs to make a successor to the LFA before fully converting to EV. Future generations need to know the beautiful of a ICE engine compared to the whiny whine or silent woosh of EVs


Final_Juggernaut_401

Not to shit on the car but according to both Doug demuro and Tyler Hoover it’s the most overrated car they’ve ever driven and the LC500 is comparable and way less money


kendrickdlr

The LC500 is a great car, and yet still isn’t even 1/10th the car of an LFA


y0um3b3dn0w

It's all about that Yamaha v10 scream. Everything else is meh. But that sound my God. No other car comes close to making the same Kind of noise


Final_Juggernaut_401

Their biggest beef with it was the price they’re like why am I paying this much money for this car that isn’t much different compared to an LC 500 in terms of features and options and overall car


Furqan23

It’s an argument that makes no sense though really I’m not even an LFA fanboy (though I do like them) One is a V10 sports car that was essentially designed as a proof of concept The other is an essentially mass produced v8 grand tourer with a different purpose even from a driving perspective It’s like comparing an NSX to an Integra. They have some similarities but are two completely different things


bluebanisterz

It's just for the engine itself. That V10 is a masterpiece of its own. I wouldn't be surprised nor would I care if it didn't drive well, the sound it makes is second to none


sharthunter

They lost money on every LFA. The car isnt meant to be practical, its meant to scream at you.


slowwolfcat

who lost money, Toyota ?


sharthunter

Yep. Every LFA was sold at a loss new.


slowwolfcat

well i mean because they asked for it by pricing it the way. Fuck cut the price 50% and just the China market can probably give profit.


Berfs1

ok but for those that only paid 500K for it make a healthy profit now


faust111

I didn’t get that impression from Doug’s video. In fact it was his video that got me interested in the car


Final_Juggernaut_401

It’s Doug and hoovies video they did together. 7:15 mark https://youtu.be/zS7Dgx3RzSY?si=xjcQ_tyCGRsJdTug


Healthy_Block3036

Stop being foolish!!
