All the crypto/NFT bros have been blown out and will not be buying expense watches and exotic cars going forward and same goes to the wall street bets morons who invested in AMC, GameStop, and other meme stocks. New money tends to be stupid and will spend until they have nothing left because they think the good times won't end. I think prices for most luxury goods will end up bottoming just above the pre-covid amounts.

The only thing is that the Fed will go too far which will cause certain items will experience deflation but I don't think we'll get general widespread deflation unless the job market starts falling apart which I don't think will happen because we have a shortage of workers.

Yup.

I requested that the detail shop of my dealer not wash the car or take out the seat covers.
They simply rinsed it and blotted it dry. No wash. No wax. They washed the wheels and put some tire dressing on.
That's exactly how I wanted to pick it up from the dealer.

Funny how in an ADM thread, some people dont have a brain.
My ADM was very "reasonable". So reasonable that I do not wish to alienate any other customers of my dealership that paid more.
Pretty simple.

I wouldn’t pay 40k, but I guess if someone really wants the car …

I wonder if the car will be tracked as much as it will be polished.

You mean Matt Moreman and his cult following of people who spend 100k on tools to look at? Honestly it is sad to see these cars not driven. If someone wants to do nothing with it but look at it, I personally think that's stupid but it's also their choice. I don't care if they get tracked per se but it hurts to see them just completely sit and not get driven at all. These cars are made to enjoy.

Amazing, some of you never get over being “judgment” police” why care how someone enjoys the car they purchased? If a person wants to track their car to death great, and that person is no different than the person what wants to drive his shiny car on a nice day for some personal “me time” By the way better cars exist to track that don’t weigh 3200 lbs, a tricked out Miata with proper cage and suspension causes havoc on tracks with many of these road cars that can run on the track. They’re not track cars for the road it’s the other way around.

Let people live their enjoyment how they choose ……………the majority of these cars never see a track “so what”. Anyway, lots of interesting discussions happens here but the car police is like being a “hall monitor” on who took the extended lunch just my observation.

Each track car bought by a non-track guy is one less car available for track guys to buy. Also drives up the ADM on the cars. Why is that hard to understand? And BTW, Porsche makes lots of non-track versions of their cars.

Dude I hear you and honestly you sound like the government, everybody gets a trophy. Your argument makes zero sense, if the 10% of the track guys want one pay the ADM it’s a free market. Everyone doesn’t pay ADM, but that’s minus the point ………you can’t dictate philosophy on who should one the product. When does your logic stop, should I sell one of my GMT Rolex’s because I don’t fly, should I sell my house that’s 7500 sq ft because it’s just my wife and I? I’m not being a jerk but that’s how your argument sounds? (Life is not based on who can use it better)

I had a neighbor that saved enough to buy a Ferrari, it was his dream car and he washes that damn thing all the time and drives on sunny days. My bet you have Porsche guys the same that wanted a GT3 to use in the same fashion, and who are you to ****** their dream away or disqualify “their” personal enjoyment. Some need to write a check or stop bi*c***g for 2nd place when they didn’t earn 1st place. Grown men complaining Porsche will not take their 200k, amazing the world has lost its priorities sorry for my rant it’s a car. You can’t whine, and say the undeserving are making the prices go up, some of you should really listen to how you sound. Go listen to the Wu Tang Clan CREAM = Cash + Rules + Everything + Around + me = GT3 that simple.

Money talks. Why is that hard to understand? You want a GT3 to track? Go make money and figure it out.
