Bingo!

 

Well said...

 

Maybe CJ has an aversion to carbs?

 

Exactly. Everybody waiting for blood in the streets, but only a handful of buyers who are positioned to take advantage.

But then again, anybody who is walking away from an RS over $10k is not a real buyer anyways.

 

^^^ agreed, and excellent points from others as well.
A lot of pretenders out there. I guess there are those who like to say or think they're "in the market", speculating where the prices should be. At some point you either man up and buy the car, or quit whining because the train has left the station.
For me, I recently found a great garage queen 7.2 RS and I paid for it. Would I have liked to reverse the clock back to 2011? Sure, but we're not in fantasy land...

 

^ u are right....

many say "in the mkt"... i dont understand. if i am in the mkt tonight i would have car tmo.
i goto safeway buy milk, b/c i am in the mkt, i come home with milk....
it's not very hard.

i dont remember waiting for milk to go on sale before i go buy it.

 

This analogy is awesome LOL -- Milk is to Safeway as GT3 is to _______. I feel like I'm back in the early 90s about to take my SATs!

 

^^^ What mooty said. Perfect analogy.

 

I'm in the market for a cup of coffee still not gonna pay 30 for the new blue bottle special coffee I'll take the 5 one

Does matter if I "work harder" and make 50 more bucks

Same goes with Porsches or houses in pac heights

People pay for things what they believe their utility is for them or something that approximates their utility

 

Blue bottle isn't that great anymore. Way downhill from several years ago and tech $ allowed them to expand and consistency went to crap.
Give me some stump town or intelligentsia Yet to have a bad pull from them.

Signed espresso snob

 

......highly recommend Wild Goose, roast twice a week per orders only.

 

lactose intolerance means all milk money goes to RS!

 

This is not the best analogy (i'd go so far to say that it's actually a pretty bad analogy) because milk is a CPG product (consumer package good). It's consideration period is almost nil and it's pricing model is inelastic. The auto purchase funnel is empirically much longer and it has an elastic pricing model. Milk is a staple product within its category. A GT3 is an aspirational product. Even within their product categories, CPG and Auto respectively, they are on the exact opposite ends of the product spectrum. A better analogy would be something like caviar which you certainly wouldn't just go pop into your local 7/11 to buy.

I could go on and on. This is a really bad analogy.

 

Umm, first thing I learned in economics is that GT3 is indeed a staple product. A perfect example: I'd much rather drive a GT3 every day than drink milk.

 

Sale price on milk usually means it is about to expire. Could be the same for RS
