This car just came up today. Only 3k miles and no wart. It doesn't list a price but no doubt way over my budget. Love the color.

I dont understand. $360,000 for an RS. Is it because of the rare paint?

Do people know that you could spend 6-8k (at the most expensive place possible) and wrap the car. 99.99% of the people will not be able to tell apart a $160,000 RS with a $6000 wrap and this $360,000 one.

The Meissen car was strictly for a collector. A collector pays what they do for the rarity and originality. Wrapping a car doesn't enter their thought process any more than comparing the price of this car to a 10,000 mile standard color example.

Two different and valid mindsets between collectors and drivers.

They both go around the track at the same speed which is what they are meant for

meissen or not.
i dont have the $ to buy it.
but the collector mindset is very valid.
we all have the same thoughts but not necessarily in cars.
for example, if i can and had the money, i really want to be 28 years old again.
some of you, if can and had the money, would pay a lot of it to have a vacation with your decease loved one, for example.
maybe buy back the childhood family compound, fix it up, have the extended family all come by (maybe not my mother in law.... )
in my mind, these DREAMS are all the same, some manifest in cars, some in other material or spiritual realms.
some ppl can and have the money to buy a car that they didn't get to buy when they were new.
i bet if PAG re-issued an authentic abarth quad cam, the major collectors will not hesitate a minute to shove out 10MM for it.

when you have 5-10B, these cars are really just rounding errors.
we had one insane client who bought a G8 and decide he didnt like it after delivery, so promptly bought another jet. did NOT even blink an eye. just made ONE phone call.
no, i dont have 10B, so i dont have these worries, YET ;-)

Great price, too. It is a Canadian car.

will be interesting to see price comparison once Switch posts it up.
I've been doing a bit of shopping and came across that Canadian car. Never saw the 'Spider-man' spec car until now.

Blue-red car looks like it's better optioned (PCM, lift kit, PCCB's) and as someone mentioned, half the miles. But the Blue-gold car is CPO'd and a model year newer (not sure that makes a difference?) which is certainly nice.

It is looking to good to be true.
When I first saw that ad immediately I thought scam. So you are saying this is for real?
