The "juice" isn't worth the squeeze. The State of Nevada is enforcing the Montana scam. Local dealership here in town won't sell any cars that use a Montana LLC for registration.

I'm surprised PNH participates.

You’ll find that many of the “used” GT cars with delivery miles have aftermarket stuff on them. It helps feed the F&I office, if nothing else.

Usually the real end-user will consider those additional items as a positive rather than negative.
You missed my point. My point is that I doubt anyone on this thread, much less Martin, would waste all that time and effort securing a car to make maybe a $10k profit. I suspect he, like almost everyone commenting in this thread, can make $10k a whole lot easier than that. People are imagining a conspiracy where none exists.

Some of us are just having some fun at Martins expense.

I LOST money and I got a check for the sale, my RS isn't coming until Feb 2019. I got the RS allocation at MSRP months ago before I even considered selling the GT3 so I didn't see the GT3 to get the RS allocation. Hope that clears things up.

Hey guys, John from PNH (stand up guy) admits they sold this car for MSRP. He also now says in the for sale thread they own it for more than MSRP. Martin admits he did not drive the car. So, the formula is: Buy at MSRP - Don't Drive - Sell for Over MSRP. He loves cars and hets BS. I also love cars and don't like hypocrites. I posted it in the for sale thread as a response to Jonh's comments, which I admit is a mistake, but since Martin politely asked the mods to remove this comment I post it here since this thread is fair game.

OK, I read "got" instead of "lost" in your post. Thanx for the clarification/correction

Last time I checked, didn't you post your Touring for over MSRP? And no, I didn't ask the mods to delete your post...they did that on their own. I had 6 cars before I sold the GT3 and the car wasn't being driven enough hence I sold it, not sure why that is tough to understand.

Tell me....how long should I have kept the car to not be a flipper? How many miles should I have put on it before I sold it to not be a flipper?

Flipping is flipping - win or lose. Some are just really bad at it

I paid over MSRP for this car and was asking over. The difference is I am not bashing people or dealers asking over MSRP. I am also not trying to avoid paying taxes by registering cars in Montana while having a primary residence and keeping the cars in California. Maybe change your line to just "Loves cars."

I only bash dealers who spec and sell new GT cars for over MSRP (also dealers who troll around the country to get additional GT cars to sell for over MSRP) because I know for sure they have enough good customers that deserve those cars at MSRP. Why did you pay over MSRP? Aren't you a good customer of Manhattan Motors? Or do they not sell their GT cars for MSRP to their good customers?
