financing: zero down, 36 months fully amortized at 16% apr (my zero risk annual return average). funds available immediately
track support: monthly prepaid for 6 days for month $1800

I'm in the same position as you. There asking price is way up there and they are basically firm on the price. But again, how many greens RS are out there!!

they are 2 different cars.
you either like one or the other.
there shouldn't have to be any uncertainty.

What about the red RS they have? Its a lot cheaper with less miles and its also a rare color for the RS.

I would think that car will take a smaller hit if any when its time for you to sell in a couple of years when your new RS arrives.

Great looking car. I guess the question is would you want to sit on it along with the new car while waiting on the right buyer.

Don't forget about the $16-18K hit you will take on taxes.

The car doesn't have a lot of miles on it but it has been tracked by a fast driver. The seller did take great care of the car though and trailered it to PCA DE events. It's not a creme puff/garage queen...the track cherry has been popped on the car.
