Enjoy knucklehead!!
I'd bet under 90k for a 430. I had heard a few years ago that a Lambo Murci cost 87k to produce.

So I think you are probably high on your 90k estimate you Bigger knucklehead

Me thinks you were blind when buying cars only to wake up and realize you were being duped by sales people who didn't give a crap about you. Now, you're just hell bent on being......well...........bent.
I think you misunderstood. I think it's hysterical that sales people think something is 'overpriced' when it's their job to sell things that are, to the people they 'give a crap about'. YOU wouldn't pay $400k for a LFA, but you'll be singing a different tune if you ever had to sell one. There is no integrity in belittling any brand for personal gain. Good luck to you and hopefully you wouldn't be getting this Toyota in on a trade a few years from now.

That carbon fiber reinforced monocoque chassis on fire is more winning then the entire LF-A.

Stand-up guy and a strategic partner!

My guess is the standard 911 costs Porsche $30k USD to produce.

Demand isn't crazy on these cars either I'm just saying
When I was looking for a replacement GT-2 bumper for the RUF, it was going to cost upwards of $5k. Not much is changed between the models and not much has changed in the line-up for decades. I believe Porsche has the largest margins of any car maker. Not surprised, really. There are suckers that are willing to pay the 'badge tax'.

Call Lexus. Ask them how much it costs to replace the front bumper of your LF-A.

Sadly for you, all you see my sponsorship and not who I am as a member on TS or how I am to deal with as a client.

Apparently you'd prefer to be lied to; which is why you assume everyone who is in sales -regardless if they love or hate the product they sell- must lie in order to make the sale.

You'd be dead wrong if you think about me, Sir.
