Well...unless there is an error in the asking price, then why not?

Many people are responsible for creating this huge mess, including some greedy unethical CEOs, politicians, complacent regulators, and naive consumers who over-borrowed to artificially support their lifestyle. Good luck in your job search.
no problem, i figured that's what you meant Honestly though (and my logic may be flawed - I haven't thought about it at all), I think waaaay lower retail of the new car ($75k as opposed to $95-105k a few months ago?) would more than offset the lower trade-in of my 06 C2S ($45k as opposed to $55-60k a few months ago).

After the market action today, $75K for this car may be too high!

I think alot of posters here don't realize how many cars like this are purchased with "hot money" - and when those sources dry up, sales collapse.

I think you're right. The price difference tends to get compressed in this type of market.

I think most computers have the same number layout as below, how did he typo 75 from 104? Sounds like they used to work on Canel St.

Figures. We have to be a while away from $75k turbos, unless they have a history involving accidents or dead hookers.

Maybe he read the wrong line; he probably has $75000 in it.

Whoever typed in the info for that turbo mistakenly duplicated the mileage and price from the '06 C4S that appears a couple of lines above the turbo if you search all used 911's on their website.
