Smile Exact number produced?

So what is the exact number produced for the 04 & 05? I've read it in this forum 900+ units have been sold since 2003 and there are only 30+ left. I have also read in many magazines there will only be 750 units of the 2004. And couple GT3 i saw on ebay the seller is claiming less than 100 of the 2005 were made. Hmmm... these numbers are not adding up?

PCNA press releases don't break sales down by model year, so it is hard to know. As of Aug 2004 a total of 712 cars were sold in USA, presumably these all were model year 2004. Clearly some were still on the boat as well as in inventory, so I would guess at least 750 2004's were produced. Given the most recent sales figures and remaining inventory, I think it would be fair to guess that there were at most roughly 200 2005's produced.

mds,

I agree with your analysis, and any difference would be small. There are definitely not more than 1000 cars out there, and some of us have been mutiple buyers. It's that good.

For Model Year 2005, I have seen US cars advertised with VIN range of:

5S 692 069 to 5S 692 223

Hi -
Just thought it would be interesting to Compare '04 and '05 for US vs Canada.
From plima's pdf I read:
USA:
'04 609 cars
'05 54 cars

I understand from my dealer that Canada got
'04 & '05 = 25
'04 = 12 cars
'05 = 13 cars

Is that right? - I was expecting a 10x difference not 30x!
