Even better the seller had an offer for $120k from a friend of mine and didn't take it.

I don't know if there are many other people like me, but I can't stand the idea of paying a $5k fee on an auction of a car that I can't first inspect in person and/or via PPI. Sellers have to understand that even though technically the buyers pay the auction fee, sensible buyers already priced that fee into their highest bid. As buyers, and aside from the fee, who wants to compete in a high pressure sale situation unless it's an absolute bargain.

Auction sites like these have their place for truly rare cars or even special CXX GT models. In most times (i.e. not during Covid crunch) and for non-ultra exclusive models, I think simple listing sites like Autotrader, Cars.com, etc. work better for both sellers and buyers

First paragraph was discussed here probably hundreds of times, lets not get into that argument again

Second paragraph I completely agree with.

Well, the seller deserved what he got because stupid by not accepting your friend's $120k offer.

I'd say there's a good chance they can. Large majority of people that buy this brand just throw money at cars b/c they want the badge and don't do research on previous sale prices or anything like that. They want the simplicity of walking in to a car dealer and walking out with a car. I mean, didn't that Sports Classic earlier this year sell for some ridiculous ADM of like 200k?
But even if the dealer sells this car for 125, they make an easy 5k. I wish they wouldn't. It's almost as nauseating as the bots buying tickets on ticketmaster before anyone else and selling them for 2x the price.

Looks like we missed our chance on this one, but seemed worth posting anyway. Surely that's got to be the highest sticker price of any non-RS Spyder? Anyone have the Monroney?

I believe this had about a 250k MSRP, highest US 718 Spyder in existence from what one of my sources told me when it was up for sale.

Lucifer

Who on earth do that - then sell the car? Is this some kind of money laundering?

I'm told it was for his daughter's birthday and let her spec the car.

I'd love to see the options!

Don’t think you see the CXX specifics on the label, just generic line items.

If it was truly a $250 MSRP car that’s probably ~$100K of CXX…insane

Lucifer

You sure about this VIN? Can't find it in my records

edit - ah you trolled me with the O instead of 0 there
edit2 - my record shows MSRP of $146090 so either the CXX bugged something there, or ...

Yeah, just visually I am sure that car has a higher MSRP than that, assuming all customization is from the factory. PTS, CXX leather, what appears to be CXX Aurum badging (rear and sides), CXX decals, and what I assume to be CXX Spyder wheels in Aurum? I assume they did the clear side markers at the parts counter.

I guess it's *possible* the customization was all aftermarket, but the dealership did advertise it as having $270k MSRP (which seems almost unbelievably high; feels like there would have to be way more CXX that I'm not seeing to go 100k over a well-optioned PTS 000 Spyder).

​​​​​​@Lucifer - are your records generally correct for MSRP of CXX cars? I can DM you my VIN if you want to try a spot-check.
