AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852: Scale, Subject & Display Guide
This page is devoted to AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852, the exact scale model cars sold under the AUTOart record. The goal is practical identification: what the listing confirms, what remains unverified, and what a buyer or builder should compare before using the item.
Matching the exact listing
- Exact product: AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852
- Brand or vendor: AUTOart
- Product type: Scale Model Cars
- SKU or catalog key: F977-78852
- Scale stated in the record: 1:18
- Road or release number: 78852
- Variants reviewed: 1
- Product images indexed: 3
The recorded price at verification was $299.98 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.
The scale marker 1:18 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The number 78852 separates this release from visually similar versions. The working catalog key is F977-78852. That key should travel with the saved URL and product image so a later comparison does not collapse this item into another scale model cars listing.
Confirmed facts versus assumptions
The product page identifies the item this way: “Lexus LFA in matte black by AUTOart. This 1:18 scale collector model is designed for display. Review the listing photos for the exact interior, wheels, trim, opening features and packaging. Item: 78852.” That excerpt anchors the guide, while the gallery, SKU and selected variant provide the remaining evidence needed for an exact match.
Practical use and compatibility
Collectors should read AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852 as a combination of casting, finish, release details and presentation. The useful comparison is not “same brand” but “same exact configuration.” Check the images for tampo placement, paint edges, wheel style, glass, base, stance and any included packaging before using another listing as a reference.
The SKU F977-78852 is especially important when the title contains a real-car year or model name. That year can describe the subject rather than the miniature’s release date, and two editions can share the same subject while differing in graphics, color or production series.
Using the item with confidence
The exact item should drive the decision. A collector seeking an original release, a builder seeking a donor casting and a gift buyer seeking a recognizable subject may all evaluate the same listing differently. Recording those intended uses prevents condition or packaging details from being overlooked.
Keep the invoice, SKU and one reference photograph with the collection record so the item can later be distinguished from a close variant.
Using the gallery as evidence
The photographed item is part of the specification. With 3 images indexed, a buyer can compare color, form, labels, contents and visible condition before relying on a shortened title. Save the image that best shows the identifier F977-78852.
Pre-purchase checklist for this exact record
- Match the full title and F977-78852.
- Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
- Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
- Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
- Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.

Recording this product accurately
The permanent record should answer three questions: what exact item was bought, what arrived, and how it was used or stored. The title and F977-78852 answer the first; arrival photographs answer the second; project or collection notes answer the third.
Keeping those layers separate improves future comparisons and avoids unsupported grading.
Gift considerations
Gift buyers should match F977-78852 to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.
Questions answered by the exact listing
Why does AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852 have its own guide?

Is a contextual image a contents list?
No. Only stated components and the selected variant define what is included.
How can a later owner verify the item?
They can compare the title, SKU F977-78852, package or item photographs and saved transaction record.
Decision summary: choose AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852 when the complete identity, photographed details and intended use all match. The live page should settle current price and availability; this guide preserves the evidence needed to recognize the exact item.

Product-specific verification note
The evidence trail for AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852 should remain attached to SKU F977-78852. Compare the product received with the saved image before opening, modifying or installing it. Record any stated variation, missing measurement, accessory or condition qualifier, then add observed results only after direct inspection. This final step keeps the article factual while making the ownership or project record reproducible.
Decision record for future reference
The final purchase record for AUTOart Lexus LFA Matte Black 1:18 #78852 should contain the vendor AUTOart, product type Scale Model Cars, SKU F977-78852, selected option, current price and the image used to verify the item. This set of evidence is more durable than a title alone and makes a later duplicate or replacement check much faster.
After arrival, compare the item with that evidence before discarding packaging or beginning work. Note any discrepancy, then record actual fit, condition or performance only after direct inspection. The resulting trail explains both the original offer and the owner’s later experience while keeping the article accurate, specific and reviewable.
