C GT spotting

Saw my first C GT on a flatbed leaving The Collection in Miami. It followed me into CocoPlum in Coral Gables. Car was Silver with Terra Cotta interior. The car had Miami Hurricane tags on it. Simply an amazing looking car!

I saw that car, I spoke to the saleman who sold me my car and he stated that the collection offered to make the first payment if he kept in the showroom for a week. The attorny who bought the car declined and just left it for the weekend.

I have seen the car in the left turn lane in front of my showroom windows a few times. Simply amazing !! Oh ,..... and yes the exhaust note is out of this world. The owner was nice enough to hammer the throttle and give us a cheap thrill last week.

I saw it in the showroom as well and it looked sweet!

I really liked the interior. Especially the color.

Lot of cash though....

Personally for the money I would rather take a 360 Spyder for sunny days and a Gallardo for when it rains and then get a V6 Cayenne for all the days in between.

Who finances a car like that?


Wonder what kind of rate you can get on a 5 year ARM?

People that can afford that car, don't finance they just simply stroke a check.

odd? apparently that atty "can" afford that car because he is taking it home with him. and, apparently he didn't stroke a check.

suppose someone has compounded their money by 30%+/year post tax and can borrow at 6% post tax. it seems to me there is an enormous opp cost for such an individual to stroke a check and forgoe all that return on his now tied up capital. just to put it in perspective, it'll cost him nearly a 996TT every year he has stroked the check instead of taking the cheap money.

Ben

Let's say Company A's cost of capital is 5%. Wouldn't be a better idea to borrow the money at 5% to fund whatever project earns 30%. That money at 5% would also have some tax advantages and provide leverage for the company. I am not saying don't finance the car; my point is someone with the means to buy this car would be better off borrowing the money to put in his business than borrowing the money and putting it in his depreciating car. I am assuming he has 400,000 plus cash laying around to drop on the car.


When is your CGT going to be here?
