So curious, what are you in the hunt for and how many miles did you put on the outgoing Spyder?

Yeah, you grabbed one of the last ones that can't be replaced (new). I think selling it was a mistake.

Considering the mileage (120) it was more like "returned for a refund ", there was no ownership experience involved.

Seems rather wasteful and denied someone the chance to build their own dream car who actually wanted it.

Flipping new cars back to the dealer, for dealer profit and favours for new allocations is not new. All part of the games which makes the buying experience pretty horrible overall, for such a great product.
