I know David and his family, I highly doubt he had anything to do with it.. he couldn't care less about $1M let alone $150k.. the car was probably for Devan his daughter and maybe she's keeping her current beautiful mexico blue targa. They buy 250 GTO's 2x at a time.. operate in a different echelon from most of us. This is a dealer markup

I thought, perhaps I'm wrong, that 918 owners were required to wait six months after delivery before selling. Is this correct?

One common way it's done is the car is owned by an llc, Which both the buyer and the seller are partners in, no ownership exchange of record happens...

But It doesn't have to even be that complicated, inat least two cases that I've been privy to I've a dealer was not too worried about this and happily resold the car almost immediately for the 918 VIP owner. It's a "catch me if you can" type situation and there's many hiding places

I don't know David, but I do know some ppl like you said who operates at a totally different level. on the PFS, they generally just round off the first 6 digits to the left of decimal point hahaha...

and to others who wonders why buy a car and sell before delivery

1. some are flippers for sure
2. some buying a $1mm car is like me buying a pair of nikes. after I bought it, I decided it was not what I want....

you watched "crazy rich asian"? some ppl actually are that crazy rich...
