The Spyder I just bought is the first car I've driven/owned that I feel strongly I would have been willing to pay a healthy premium to own without a second thought. I didn't pay a premium, but I definitely would have knowing what I know now. So I get why others would do so in order to get a car they deeply desire.

Why is it that you are so morbidly obsessed with other people's money and how they spend it / how they feel about it? you've been on this monotone message for months now on every RS thread that I open. Here is some actual data on how these guys feel: the two people I know that bought their RS last year for 75-100 are happy they got the car when they did and they won't miss the coin when and if they sell. But its good to know you feel sorry for them from behind your keyboard. I will let them know. I am pretty sure the only one that needs to feel sorry here is the guy without the RS, ie you, and not the ones that could afford to pay 100k over. Better to have lived and loved than to never love at all. Put your energy into figuring out ways to make enough so you dont have to worry about what other people are paying for their cars.
I share this sentiment...

In the end we are all passionate about our Porsches/cars. Everyone expresses it in different ways and there is no doubt that for those who want and can afford an RS at MSRP and/or slightly above feel spited because they are at levels that do border ridiculous. Except, they are not ridiculous if they are getting those prices because the market is set where the demand and supply meet. I get the frustration, although I have no skin in this game, but can empathize with the sentiment. I hear many people complain on here about certain threads but the good thing is you do not have to follow those threads. I follow those that interest me and I am sure others do the same but this is the nature of this forums - so it is what it is.

I just bought a LO RS at over MSRP at a price I felt was a fair markup from a private seller that I could "live with". MSRP was $211K.
I finally cracked and bit the bullet. I figured with 100 more or so coming and with 185 dealers in U.S. and me on the list maybe at #3 my chances of landing one at MSRP were poor to fair at best. I didn't buy the car to flip, which I could and make some money in this market. I bought it because my heart rate increases every time I look at it. I couldn't sleep Saturday night with excitement after I made the deal.
Still giddy with excitement.
Yes, I paid over MSRP but the amount I paid I can live with and believe in the long run as its an RS I won't get hurt.
You have to reach that balance you can live with between enjoying life and being financially responsible based on your situation.
No one guarantees you tomorrow.
"Tigger" incoming. Sorry for posting some pics again I'm just a "little" excited.
