Lexus lost money on every LFA sold. Which was about $300,000 American. Now they are all selling from anywhere near $700,000 starting to about 1.5 million. Each LFA is different. I seen one at Lexus at Henderson. Employee snuck to the back and showed me it. They employees can’t even clean it. The highest mechanic and the ceo are the only ones allowed to touch it. And you can’t even wash it either. I can see why these cars value are high. I would sit on one for another 20 years. It might be 5-10 million. You never know this is a piece of history we won’t get back.. If you made it this far just know we have two ears and one mouth.

[@kimthomas3005]

In UK we have insurance categories for write-offs and the two lower categories allow the car to be sold to domestic customers for repair, when you buy them back its usually a fixed percentage of the vehicle undamaged regardless of overall value or cost of repair. For instance for the more serious of the two Cat S the cost to buy back is usually 7% of the overall valuation.
