<br /> Would You Drop $500,000 To Fix This Wrecked Lexus LFA? | Carscoops




































The previous owner of the crashed LFA decided the repair bill was just too steep, so now this supercar is up for auction at Copart

 Would You Drop $500,000 To Fix This Wrecked Lexus LFA?

  • The owner was planning to repair the car but it seems that plan has been abandoned.
  • An expensive carbon fiber body will make the car very costly to fix.
  • Fortunately, the 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V10 doesn’t appear to have been damaged.

In January, a rare Lexus LFA met an unfortunate fate in Atlanta, Georgia. Now, seven months later, that same heavily bruised beauty is up for sale on Copart, proving that even supercars sometimes need a second chance—or am outrageously expensive makeover.

The salvage yard hasn’t revealed when this prized Japanese masterpiece will officially hit the auction block, but it’s currently lounging at their Atlanta lot. With an estimated retail value of $710,000, the listing gives us a sobering peek at the damage inflicted and the hefty repairs needed to coax this wounded Lexus back onto the road.

As the LFA veered off the road and took a beating from multiple impacts, the damage spread far beyond just one panel or area. It all starts at the front, where the bumper is caked in dirt, the lower splitter is bent out of shape and begging for replacement, and, oh yes, the hood has gone missing entirely.

Then we get to the passenger side. The expensive carbon fiber door of the LFA has been trashed after taking a hefty knock and a new one is needed, as is a new rocker panel. Additionally, the rear fascia has suffered a lot of damage. Both taillights are missing, the rear bumper has been smashed to pieces, the diffuser is ruined, and the iconic trio of tailpipes is badly bent.

The car’s owner originally planned to repair it, even making an appearance in a February video by YouTuber ThatDudeinBlue. Back then, he estimated it would take a cool $400,000 to $500,000 to get the LFA back on the road. But it looks like reality—and perhaps his wallet—had other plans.

The repair idea has clearly been scrapped, and he’s likely taken the insurance payout, which explains why the LFA is now sitting at a Copart lot, getting prepped for its next chapter.

Given the exorbitant cost of repairing the supercar, there’s a chance it will never return to the road. However, if someone does take the plunge, we’re hopeful that, even if they’re not willing to spend half a million bucks in fixing it, they will at least salvage the iconic 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V10.
