I like the yellow one in the link 
Funny thing. Put that car on a truck ship it to Canada and there would be no problem getting 6 figures CDN for it. That is meaningful now because the $ CDN is worth 1.05 to the $ USD. Thus, there may be dealers in Canada who would fall over in glee to pay $90,000 USD for the car, because they can sell it for a lot more in Canada. I hear new companies have been formed for the sole purpose of finding, buying and importing to Canada cars from the US. That will continue as long as the $CDN is strong. But given history, this is a band-wagon that needs to be jumped onto quickly. Maybe the Pasadena dealer has priced that way because of the Canadian factor.

You could be right -- when I was working the deal on my car at Roger Jobs -- I got to the lowest point they were willing to go to and then was told "any lower and we will sell it to Canada -- we get US retail money from dealers in Canada"
My salesman was also closing a deal at the same time on a 996TTX50 with a Canadian at the time...
