Who would buy a 4.0RS with 50 lbs heavier seats that can't even hold you on your spot a 0.5g, let alone higher g-forces?

Rad - offer MSRP offer for the RS4.0 and install those Carreras GT seats you have in your garage. Trade in your Scuderia already. In 5years it will be worth about $100k less plus another $20k to $30k in maintenance costs. The 4.0 will not have depreciated much at all and maint. costs will be a lot less. Do it!

Certainly can't argue with such impeccable logic

Quatro punto cero is a very sensible guy. We're meeting up at Road America July 7-10 and he's heading for Canada after that

They also have a nice white speedster for $212K, but the photo of the hand written tag says +$50K Market Price ($262K total), but its on line for $212K. So who knows what's up with this dealer.

i wonder if this car was really a customer order or a dealer ordered with fake customer name.

this is a very strange spec RS4.0. no "real" RS4.0 owners will order a car this way. $262k.... what was he smoking?

any lawyer on board?
if it's 212, you should grab it then sell off some of the useless stuff on it, like the sofa...

Given the ensuing is on Autotrader as well as Downtown LA's own website, inclined to think this 4.0 is not spoken for....rather minimal spec too.

Quite choice

I was always under the impression that when a company advertise a price of say 212 then when you go into the store and its 260 Is that not false advertising??
