Lexus LFA Supercar to Start at $375,000


LexusLFA
Lexus' first supercar, the 2012 LFA, will be limited to just 500 units worldwide when it goes on sale next year. It also will hit 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, thanks to a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic body and a 552-horsepower, 4.8-liter V-10 engine.

That’s why the $375,000 price tag sounds almost reasonable, and that’s before any destination charges. Lexus is also leasing the LFA with an intent to buy, which is a bit strange, but it might be to keep out prospectors looking to run up the price early in the sales process.

The $375,000 is a base price, with custom colors and interior trim adding more. But for the base price, you can pick one of the three following configurations:

Configuration 1 – Leather or Alcantara-trimmed seats.
Configuration 2 – Leather or Alcantara-trimmed seats, Lexus navigation system and Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system.
Configuration 3 – Leather or Alcantara-trimmed seats, Lexus navigation system, Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system and Lexus Enform with Safety Connect.

If the price is in your wheelhouse, don’t wait. Go to your local dealer and try to sweet talk them to even be considered for the LFA. In the rarefied air of supercars, most are spoken for well before they ever see public pavement. It might help if you buy an LX or LS — or two — to help things along.

Factory Order - Buy a New Car from a Car Dealer


Choosing a new is a pretty exciting event, but it's sometimes more complex and difficult than it should be - to actually buy it. The time and effort needed to negotiate the lowest possible new car price really can make what should be quick and enjoyable phone call into a journey into the unknown! Broadspeed is your one stop shop to find the lowest new car price, the highest trade in value and cheapest car finance. The first step is always to decide whether you have the time to wait for a factory order. Car manufacturers have changed strategy from build then sell them to sell then build them. This means your choice of model, colour and optioanl equiment is very restricted compared to a year or two ago. A new car factory order is brand new, factory fresh, built to your exact personla specification - and the latest of everything. If you can wait 8-12 weeks (models vary on lead time), the factory order usually gets the exact car at the best price (because the dealer doesn't have to finance stock - you pay as soon as it arrives).

Ex-Stock - New Car Deals - Discount Car Prices


If you need a new car more quickly, we also have a car finder service; we can offer you discount on brand new cars, ex-demonstrators and nearly new showroom cars. These days, new cars are in short supply so bargains often sell the same day! Be ready to reserve it - or you may well lose it. And bear in mind that a "built car" may mean a colour or equipment compromise - whereas a factory order is your exact specifiaction. Complete as many free online enquiries as you like. Then once you finalise the colour and specification, tell us you're ready for a dealer quote - call us or complete the pre-order process, online. We'll quote you a dealer price there and then - and if you want to go ahead with the purchase, we'll introduce a uk dealer to buy from - the whole order process usually takes 1 working day.

Buying power is what it's all about! The more buying power we have, the more leverage we have with new car dealers - and that means you buy at a low discount price - but taking the minimum time and without the hassle facttor. Buying just one new car (no matter how good a negotiator you may be) is just one single sale. However, place an enquiry on www.broadspeed.com and you will benefit from our volume-buying rates whilst only buying a single new car. Like almost all businesses, new car dealerships have volume sales targets to maximise profitability. Broadspeed makes its business to know the aggressive new car dealers and to negotiate what amounts to PLC coroportae discounts for new cars.
