Well you've been here a while so you probably understand that nearly the same car with a better motor for less money is a winning combo

Someone will buy an R for MSRP, then proceed to thrash it for 100k miles. That person will be a hero.

Sure hope that ends up being me! Actually, I would go a little over MSRP. Maybe. For the right color.

IF the R drops below 200k I will buy it. But if I was you I wouldn't hold my breath for that day.

The R ain't going to be anywhere near MSRP for a long, long, long time.

That's funny because it might be true. Let's watch these cars trade, when they actually change hands.

PAG with .2GT3 is nicely hammerring the flippers
but softly raising even further their overpriced cars with the new GT2RS

this would end very bad for PAG and flippers...

So, in what way are the GT-cars, or in fact, any P-car overpriced? Especially the GT-cars are punching way above their weight class. The GT3 could easily add 25% to the price tag and still be good value.

Would take some titanium *****, but $1 no reserve auction would establish "true" worth & perhaps, separate men from boys...
And probably still finish well above MSRP
Willing to broker for a 500 km drive - no $

More like $440k with buyer's premium, but prices are coming down.

Has anyone been watching the Carrera GT market? They're dropping below $600k - I believe they sold for around $475k new.
