Not at all re-read my posts. It has NOTHING to do with price and what he is willing to pay. My point is he obviously has connections within Porsche to get a 1 of 25 car. Why would you come on a forum to find a 918. Ask your connections, they will find one for you and they will also know most 918 owners and their willingness to sell. But nice try being a *****.

If anyone is interested in selling or knows of a 918 priced right I'd be interested in it. Priced right for me is around 1.3m for a standard, higher for a Weissach.

450 mile GT Silver MSRP $875k
$1.35m
Side note: This forum has been a wonderful resource for many years, I've gain knowledge and met many great people here as well made lots of new friends. On occasion I do however find it hilarious what some folks find necessary to say, their opinions on how, what and why crack me up.

looks like you already got a car, but if it falls through - i have a nicely optioned Weissach sitting in storage with delivery miles. would only consider parting with it as part of a trade for something interesting and exciting from 964/993 era or perhaps a right CGT+cash...

It's now up (as of 2/5/16) at http://www.luxuryautocollection.com/...-14683454.html listed at $1.95m.
Previously, it was listed at Marshall Goldman with 410 miles on 8/24/15. Disappeared for a while, then re-appeared at Marshall Goldman with 595 miles on 9/11/15, listed at $1.8786m. Price on that listing fluctuated wildly: $1.879m -> $1.779m -> $1.6789m -> $1.9789m -> $2.1999m.
It then "sold" (unconfirmed) on 11/30/15. Then it re-appeared at Barrett Jackson, as noted above.

Interesting how many times this car has popped up for sale. I'm not even convinced it was purchased by an individual at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale 2016.

The second they make a hybrid 911 that does 95% of what a 918 does youll see them go the way of the 959. Thats my story and im sticking to it.

Its all a joke for those who actually bought them to capitalize while the going is good. I doubt that car was ever sold above sticker. 918's will be $500,000 cars in 5 years. You heard it here first......

Of course I do.
Point being, once a 993 turbo came out and did basically everything a 959 did, i they dropped like a rock and were unwanted for many years. While it may not happen exactly like that, I do not think todays prices will hold for very long. Right now were seeing a game of musical chairs with prices 50% over sticker and at some point the music will stop.
Thats what I foresee happening. Once we get a hybrid 911, or otherwise, the 918 luster will dull. Soon 911's top turbo will have 800hp 4wd 4ws with electric motors. Its inevitable.
Having said that they are cool cars, very cool cars.

Me, personally, it's too much for a car, so I can only hope used prices will resume a more normal course -dropping first before rising IF a car turns out to be a substantive over time.
I drove the 918 at COTA and thought it was amazing. Just not $1mm amazing for me. I hope their owners enjoy them!

Off Topic but which Hellcat you have and have you modified it at all? I imagine it would need is an intake and exhaust. Not unless Dodge actually did their due diligence for intake and exhaust, making them adequate for 707 BHP and the Torque

Bone stock 3 pedal Hellcat. It's actually a hoot to drive, doesn't lack power that's for sure. Big, Loud, Powerful with completely undersized tires. Real old school obnoxious fun. Very different then the rest of my cars but gotta mix it up.

Look at the F40. The new 488GTB will drive circles around it, but is it affecting the values of the F40? Absolutely not. The same thing happened to the CGT (eg. V10 NA, manual, full carbon body). Can you honest say you can find another new car in today's market that has a full carbon body at 450k? The Aventador? It's not even close in the same level of craftsmanship and engineering. This is why CGT value will hold and appreciate.
As we experience inflation and other costs rises, the 918 will go through the same thing as well. Maybe in 2 generations, the 911 Turbo will be faster than the 918, but it will still not affect its value. By then (in 10 years time), you won't be able to buy a car build like the 918 at anywhere close to the original MSRP.

The flaw in your logic is that you are comparing the 959 in an era where Porsche almost went bankrupt. This is why the 959 were valued so low at one point because people didn't even know if Porsche would exist.

It's doubtful that Porsche will produce a car to the build quality of the 918 for the mass market. Much less a car with full carbon fiber tub and body. The 918 is truly an iconic symbol of Porsche engineering.
I personally like driving a car where I don't have worry about handling with extreme caution. That's not to say I wouldn't mind having a CGT but if I want to drive on the track I would be so concerned about the handling and control, there is no way I could be comfortable. Guess everyone knows a large number of CGTs have been wrecked. And that doesn't help value.
