Put in the asking price and the odometer reading. You will see what this model should make at that reading.
No Australian sale stands behind this value, so treat the figure as indicative.

What moves the price on this model
Condition, history, originality, ownership, delivery and modification multipliers apply to every car in the library. They are applied automatically when an advertisement is analysed, and the schedule is set out once, on the analyser page.
Projected value in five years
The case for and against
Five hundred built, ten in the country, and an engine that has become the model's whole argument: a 9,500rpm V10 co-developed with Yamaha that the road-test consensus places above anything else of its era. American results keep setting new highs and the car has already appreciated past every other Japanese production car.
There is no verified Australian sale on record, so the figure rests on converted American results. The single-clutch automated gearbox is the one part of the car its era shows in, and at this level a Australian buyer competes with collectors worldwide for ten cars that rarely change hands.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
Ten of the 500 cars built came to Australia at launch, priced around $700,000 to $750,000 depending on specification, and at least one sat unsold in a dealership as a showroom centrepiece until 2023, when the compliance deadline for the Register of Approved Vehicles forced its reporting as sold. Shannons offered the one-owner Melbourne car, delivered new by Lexus of Blackburn and serviced there since, at a Winter timed auction; the archive available to this library does not publish its result, so nothing from that lot is encoded.

All asks: $990,000 was sought for a 26,426-kilometre car and about $1,075,000 for car number 177 across 2017 and 2018, and Dutton Garage currently holds the Australian-delivered Pearl White build number 232 without a published price.
Ordinary cars have traded between roughly US$720,000 and US$1,000,000 in recent years, converting to about $1,100,000 to $1,550,000, and a Florida dealer currently asks US$899,000, which converts near $1,380,000. The $1,250,000 carried here sits inside that converted sold band and under the converted asks, above the decade-old domestic asks that predate the model's strongest years. Nurburgring Package cars are a far dearer sub-model and are set aside. The value is a researched estimate.
No Australian transaction stands behind this value. A spec-adjusted figure built on it would look precise and would not be, so the report is refused instead of sold with a caveat. That goes for this car and 87 others. Everything above is free and stays free.
One line of email when this desk publishes a call on a Lexus LFA, or records a new Australian sale of one. Nothing else, no schedule, and on a quiet model you may hear nothing for months, which is itself worth knowing about a car you are chasing.
