Bored with the GT500, so I went to the lexus dealership to upgrade....

[ChiSVT]

i would never and i mean never pay that much for a lexus. Ferrari would have saved you around 150k. lmao

I disagree with the whole mentality that 'it's just a Lexus'. That car has a staggering amount of engineering behind it, it is a true exotic regardless of the badge. And of course like any exotic, the absorbent price tag is only justifiable by the person who can afford to pay it. :beer:

I agree. If you have the money and you want it... buy it. I would in a heartbeat.... if I could.

HAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!

That was funny!

EDIT: Quote fail.....

 

[Bdubbs]

I was just thinking that anyone can take pictures of themselves in sweet rides at a dealership and say they bought it,lol.

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

Now you have just a Mustang and just a Lexus. Both very nice. That Lexus is Sweet. Congratulations :rockon:

You didn't read the entire thread did you? :bash:

Probably could have worded it better. It was a play on "just a mustang"
Calling it "just a Lexus" was huge sarcastic understatement. Thanks for the heads up.

There - Fixed:lol:

I thought Toyota/Lexus wasn't even selling this car??? They are lease only at this point??? Either way cool joke! Also, I don't care how much money I had, there would be a stang in the garage, even among the exotic dream list. But I guarantee you it would be 1 of the baddest mustangs on the planet!

$381,000...That's it?! I wonder what the mark up is over that sticker price.

Nice car tho.

 

[frequency101]

Aventador > ....

Granted, sick ass car. To bad they're backordered for a bazillion years. I guess the price is kinda steep to. Lol

 

[megameGT500]

lol
you guys are too much. While i wish i could plop down the 381k this thing stickers for, i cannot. A good friend of mine is the gm of the dealership and he called me to come check it out tonight.
The vid i shot is a little painful to watch, but the interior is bad ass and it sounds amazing.

Got it. That was good.

Actually "invoice" is usually more than MSRP. I worked for a Lexus store and till the beginning of this month drove my bosses LFA. only reason I don't drive it now is I'm at his Honda/Hyundai store..

Worth EVERY PENNY and then some.

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Damn that thing is hot! I'd put 500 miles on that the first week I'd own it. You definitely need to post a few WOT vids.:rockon:

 

[megameGT500]

There - Fixed:lol:

I fell for that one. :rolling:

 

[bakeme9699]

The first pic looks like a Hyundai Tiburon mated with the J.C Whitney catalog...I'm not really feeling it, but it does get better the more I check it out

 

[Steve@TF]

If you have that kind of change....what the hell were you in a Mustang for? If not for the love of a Mustang.

i have a customer with a 2011 GT500 who also owns a few ferraris including the latest one. says he really enjoys driving his gt500. just gives him a feeling the others cant/dont.

Nah, it's a Toyota brah

lol

Honestly, I have always been one of the people that said the price is rediculous. After sitting in it and playing with it for a bit, it really is an amazing machine. I would have a hard choice to make if I was going to spend that kind of coin on a hotrod.

unless i had saudi prince money i dont think id ever buy one. and even then, it would probably be just to have one in my collection of 1000 cars. but then again, who knows, driving or riding in one can always change that opinion lol. ill likely never have to worry about making that decision lol

agreed. that thing is a formula one car in a streetable body. check out this video if you think its "just a lexus"

i just wish it looked a little better/different. not really my cup of tea..

since the beginning of the internet lol

your boss must realllly like you lol. id be scared to death to take that thing out, let alone if it belonged to my boss! :read:

the pic of the LFA in front of your house is kind of funny looking, no offense. kind of reminds me of that viper in front of the mobile home pic. not that your car is equal to a mobile home lol, but the car in the driveway is worth twice what the house is!

(although im only guessing at what your house could be worth lol).

Red one looks pretty good. :rockon:

They're awesome looking cars, and beyond great from a performance and engineering stand-point... and it's certainly a rare car... but i wouldn't pay that kinda money for a Toyota... or any Japanese car for that matter... ever. $380,000+...?

I don't care how fast it is... i'd gladly take a "slow" Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, or Aston over that any day of the week and twice on Thursdays

Kyle Busch had his 450k "loaner" for about an hour and he ended up with a ticket for 83 mph over the speed limit. I bet he enjoyed every minute of it.
