One was black and one was white. And if I was going to spend $400k+ on a car, it would have been on a 997 RS4.0 not an R.

I don't think a black R is selling that low at the present market. But it will come back down. My prediction is the R will stabilize at around 100-150k over sticker.

His acuras are not moving, so just like a desperate gambler, he starts betting the house on black... except he's been given $180k chip but been told it's a $400k... tough to be an Acura dealer right now... especially this one.

This Acura dealership actually sells a lot of 2nd hand Porsches. My guess is that the owner of the dealership was denied a Porsche franchise, but really wants to sell them, so has chosen to sell them 2nd hand. I've seen a ton of really high end Porsches at this dealership, including a 997.2 GT2RS and a 997.2 GT3RS 4.0

Maybe they'll learn an expensive lesson about buying overpriced Porsches. haha I'll personally ask them what they are doing trying to flip Porsches and laugh in their face once they give me an answer.

Maybe I'll drive over there with my PTS 997RS and tell them they can have it for the amazing price of $300k because it is a 1 of 1 car after all.

Just tell them you'll do them a favour and swap even up for the R.

The market will work itself out just fine. It's been working just fine since the Phoenicians started trading in 1500 B.C. Yes guys, well over 2,000 years ago.

But by all means, go be that forum guy who tells them they don't know ****.

BTW, how many exotics do you sell per year? Just wondering what makes you an expert, other than trolling FS threads on Rennlist.
Yeah, I know nothing about the car market and am just a troll and a driver.

I accumulate cars not sell or flip them. Only car i sold in the past 3 years was a 991 GT3 and that took all of 24 hours to sell.
