Whats to stop someone from allowing someone to "take over the payments" with a little bit thrown on top?

Except for the whole $300k for a Toyota thing...

The ferrari 599 gtb goes for around 300k and is heavier than even the heaviest curb weight of the lf-a I've seen so far. Also has a higher top speed and I can't find it as of yet but I would bet a faster 1/4 time. There is also the MB sl65 black series that is over a thousand pounds heavier. Don't hate because a domestic car company is making a supercar for a change.

eidt: got the top speeds mixed up, it happens

I've see the 202mph figure tossed aroudn for the LF-A but 205mph for the 599 GTB

Call me a brand snob but the Ferrari marque carrys more weigh that Toyota when it comes to shelling down $300,000.
