I tell them the truth " Too much and you really got to hate your money to buy such a useless car"

My response is always "I work in the car business, so a lot less than it would cost you."

I find if you make them think they have to do math to figure out the price, they quickly drop the subject. "I bought it used for about a third less then retail."

Don't get the question very often any more. Did have one lady say "Boy you sure must have saved up for a long time to get this". Just replied "yup"

The attendant at the gas station I go to asked me how much once. I told him what the MSRP was. He drives a 5-series. He also asked if it was a Ferrari.

What a refreshing thing to hear someone say. Especially these days.

I was looking over one at an airport display a few months ago. A little old lady walked by and said "you should get one of those" to which I replied "I have one of those" and she cackled and said "oh you rascal!"

Freedom is truly always only one generation away from being lost.

Last Saturday, my wife and I went to a Jacuzzi dealer in farm country. An older farmer, about 70ish, and his wife pulled in right next to us. He stopped me and said how he's always wanted a 911. I told him to do it, he won't regret it.

He said, "Yea, until it's time to make the payment."

Freedom is also one generation away from being gained.

I tell them that I paid less than msrp, let them know what the car stickered for, and then allow their imagination to take care of the rest.

Very true. Or regained.

Nevertheless, it's easier to keep than to restore.
