Wonder if labeling some cars as “keepers” could be a sales tactic 🤔. 3 months doesn’t sound like much of a “keeper” to me and it’s not the first time they’ve done this.

We get that Friedman is your friend and you do want to defend him, but dealers posting cars on their Instagram is pretty much advertising the car for sale especially since his entire Instagram is about selling cars. I get people have to make money and we can all see how he makes his, I just think people get tired of him posting "keeper" on every car he gets

Bone stock is definitely at a premium. Not many looking for a highly modified option to track at this price point. There are probably cheaper faster options to take to the track, without concern of putting ‘em in the wall.
Prices definitely rising. I felt like I was buying in to a .2 at a top recently, but things have definitely accelerated since, as we enter summer
They aren’t making any more of these awesome things last time I checked!

Why would you assume that? I don’t know of any non-tracked GT3s that blew coolant lines. I’m sure there have been some, but it’s not a common problem and if they were to blow, pinning them after the fact costs the same as pinning them proactively (minus price of a tow maybe). It’s just not as common as people on forums make it out to be.

you shop for 3 years to get 10k mile -perfect- car that needs nothing, then you read this forum and a get convinced it needs a new exhaust note then someone convinces you it’s prob screwed and needs a guards LSD, then someone mentions the coolant lines or you’ll die, then someone else mentions a - while your in there- thread to read…next thing you know your dropping $10k in the shop and looking at $15k bucket seats and $5-20k exhaust and you don’t even know how to drive it yet

I mean… Elliots intake drops a screw in his engine that only one person has ever seen before and I’ve already convinced myself I need the Dundon Plenum to finish off my D4 package or it will 100% also happen to me

Looks awesome...maybe I have not been paying attention but when did the .2s jump from 180-190 to 220-230? Realize this is double the mileage (21K versus 10K) but 193 with PCCBs to 220 without feels like a big jump. Merit has one in with similar miles asking 230 as well
Just one data point, but I paid $188 for my 17k mile, white 7.2 (PCCB, sport buckets, clean DME) ~2 months ago. I did my research and at the time it felt about right given the condition the car was in and how well it was optioned. I can't imagine the market has moved that significantly since then. Unfortunately there's just not a lot of them listed for sale so the price uncertainty is very high.

These are definitely on the high end of the market (which Merit is known for). I don't think we're there yet for standard colors, another 12-16 months of this demand and I can see it though.
