Wonder where the unlimited funds come from?

I do not have any issue with 10-15% people need to make a living and with a business like cars margins are low. I’d say there is a lot more risk for a car dealer than bat.

I'd assume a similar place to where Merit's come from. Backers.

Great spec. It's worth a premium, just not worth RS money IMO.

RFM usually teases out social media and prelim description on their website for a week or more before a full listing.

I'd be unsurprised to see this listed on par or higher than the silver .1RS they have currently at $227.5.

They tend to place their PTS cars at the very top of the range or well above (e.g., the Cream White .2RS for 4.0 pricing last year).

The Kermit is gorgeous! Wow! and w a Manthey 3.9. It'll be a killer.

The Blue car is nice, but not 9K miles Kermit nice...

I want to clarify I have nothing against RFMC and he is clearly very successful at what he does. I don’t know that he actually has unlimited funds. That is just my opinion after observing his buying/listing activity as it is documented in this thread ie he pays up for cars he wants and often sits on them for long periods of time with optimistic price expectations.

More power to him, has to be fun.

Glad you clarified. You stated it as if you knew something about his operation. Unfair to state assumptions as facts.

I was interested in the RS myself but couldnt get an answer on the damage per carfax. The sales guy kept evading the question.
