More on the Lexus LFA Buying Process
Automobile Magazine has more on the Lexus LFA buying process:
What I want to talk about is how a person might go about purchasing an LFA. Buying an exotic car, especially one in high demand, like most Ferraris, can be a very taxing experience even for the most battle-hardened business person. How do I get on the list? How do I know I’m being treated fairly? Do only people who are special friends of the dealer get one? Lexus is trying to make the process of buying an LFA a little less mysterious.
Once a potential buyer is approved, they’ll be hooked up with a dealer and one of fifteen specialized Lexus sales consultants, who will help them spec out their car and take their $10,000 deposit.
All in all, the process looks to be straightforward—also interesting to point out that the LFA allotment for the USA is “undetermined” and will depend on interest in other parts of the world.

Can I take out an exotic mortgage loan for one?
I don’t know what’s holding me back…
I think it’s the numbers that are killing me - the performance numbers dragging me towards the car and the pricing numbers questioning me about whether or not if I really do love cars. ...so frustrating… although awkwardly, I find myself a little more calm than I was when pondering about the LX 470 (at the time, I kept looking at the Range Rover, comparing the LX to a fully-loaded LS, and so many other stuff, such as the image it gives out to friends and family).
Straightforward? What does it take for a buyer to be approved? I bet knowing the owner of a dealership would help.
If your someone you’ll get one, if your just a rich doctor/lawyer you better start cozying up with your dealer.
I think the final word lies with Lexus officials, they want the car to be driven after all like Ferrari did with the Enzo… but then again money talks.
I’m not so sure—from the sounds of it, the selection process is meant to prevent favoritism from happening. But then, I’m not sure if there will be 500 people that will meet whatever standards are being set out.
I’m following the whole thing with great interest.
