Waste of a 4.0. I had them in my C2S, and they were so soft.

I was in Palm Springs about 3 weeks ago when this car came in. I think someone ordered it and backed out. They had 2 there - 1 in service and the other one, I was told, was an order for someone.

I think that this is priced by the dealer as: MSRP + a "because we have it" fee

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.

And it's one of the rare 4.0's with a

Engine: 3.8L H6 24V MPFI DOHC
So is it $212 or $262?

Anyway, for me, the orange one is a good buy at $239.

Desert European Motorcars often tags on a huge mark-up.

Snobs.

They are a very snobbish dealer. I have some personal experience with them. Oh well, you don't have to buy from them, do you?

I tried to buy this one, and it was online listed at 212k. I told them that I would pay that price since it was listed online for this price, and they played the "Oh we made a mistake" and said they wouldnt take less than 262. I think legally if its listed for 212 they have to sell it for that!

It' up to them to ask what they want for it. Pigs get fat hogs get slaughtered.

^^ Funny, the original link quotes $212, but then, if you click to see the pictures, the price is $262???

Anyway, I guess that it doesn't matter anymore
