We’re honestly a little baffled as to whether it is good or bad news for the U.S. customers. So leaving that on you to decide here’s the recent news coming from Lexus about its LFA supercar.

As most of us know, the Lexus LFA was a limited edition car with only 500 units to be made by the company. Toyota meanwhile chose quite a stringent approach to shove away the speculators from taking advantage of its ‘limited’ tag, by offering the $375,000 vehicle on lease to the U.S. customers.  As per rules, the owners were required to keep the car for a minimum period of 24 months. It was only after the two-year 1-Pay lease contract (which has a value of almost $300,000) was up, could they buy the car outright.

But Lexus has just changed its mind. The interested U.S. buyers may now own their Lexus LFA but for the next 2 years, can only sell it back to the dealer for the original sticker price or its fair market value, whichever is lower. In case the owner sells the car to a third party instead of giving the first buyback option to the dealer, he shall be liable to pay the profits to the dealer, and of course the legal fees.

Will Toyota’s stern sales strategies for its Lexus LFA impede successful sales of the supercar? Will you go for the car now (Errr, I mean, that is if you can afford it)? Have your say in the comments.
